The city is looking to add more honourees to its list of approved potential street names, including local sports teams, politicians and community builders.

A report going to Brampton City Council on Wednesday will look to add 10 names to the city’s pre-approved Street Naming Register, and includes options for roadways named after the Brampton Honey Badgers and Brampton Steelheads.

Here are all the names expected to be added to the city’s Street Naming Register on Wednesday.

Chattha: The Chattha family has contributed to Brampton’s growth for nearly 40 years “through development projects and community-focused initiatives spanning four generations,” the city says.

Harry Chadwick: A Brampton alderman for 15 years and later a Member of Parliament, Chadwick was also a former Ford autoworker and union leader, “and a strong early supporter of the Bramalea community,” the city says.

Helen Cassin: Cassin was the first woman on the Toronto Gore Council, and financial secretary. She is a descendant of the Harrison family that settled in the Toronto Gore area, the city says.

Nicholas Harrison: A long-serving Clerk of the Township of Toronto Gore, Harrison was a community leader “whose decades of public service merit formal recognition,” the city says.

Orchalaw: This street name will align with others in Brampton’s last greenfield area, highlighting the apple orchard history of northwest Brampton.

Odorico: Umberto Odorico helped build and retain rental and industrial properties in Brampton, “contributing to the city’s housing and employment base, and established a lasting family presence through land ownership and investment that continues today,” the city says.

Bruce Reed: Reed’s service to the city includes a 33‑ year tenure as Chair and Member of the Brampton Committee of Adjustment, Trustee of Norval United Church, past Chair of the Ward 6 Ratepayers’ Association, and past Chair of the Credit Valley Coalition.

Primont: This name reflects the neighbourhood’s “historical connection to Primont Homes,” a family-owned developer. The name “is intended as a contextual reference rather than commercial branding” the city says.

Honey Badgers: celebrates the pride of having Brampton’s first Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) team, “whose commitment to community programs, youth engagement, and local partnerships has made them an immediate and meaningful part of the city’s identity,” the city says.

Steelheads: A name reflecting on “the deep community pride” the team has built as Peel’s longest standing OHL franchise, consistently supporting local families, youth programs and citywide initiatives.
