On April 23, at Regional Council, Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon passed a motion<\/a> to support the creation of a transition board, reaffirming their support to transition the sole operation of the Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives (PAMA)<\/a> to the City of Brampton. Located in downtown Brampton, PAMA will become part the City of Brampton\u2019s plans to create a vibrant and connected downtown cultural district.<\/p>\n

Transitioning PAMA\u2019s operations<\/p>\n

The newly formed Transition Board will oversee the technical and operational work required to transition PAMA over to the City of Brampton. The board will include representatives from Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon. The Region of Peel will take on an advisory role on the board.<\/p>\n

Staff involved in the transition are also preparing a detailed Transition and Business Planning Framework. This plan will be presented at Regional Council for approval by all three municipalities before any changes take effect in 2027. Until then, PAMA will continue to be operated by the Region of Peel.<\/p>\n

Benefits for Mississauga<\/p>\n

Mississauga contributed $3.5 million toward PAMA\u2019s $6.1 million operating budget in 2026. Upon completion of the transition in 2028, the City of Brampton is expected to assume full responsibility for PAMA\u2019s operating costs, and Mississauga would no longer fund PAMA\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n

Mississauga will consider how our apportionment of the funding will be addressed as part of our 2027 and 2028 budget cycles and will consider further supporting the City\u2019s Arts and Culture sector.<\/p>\n

Quotes<\/p>\n

\u201cThis transition of PAMA to Brampton frees up significant funding for Mississauga to support local arts and culture as our needs and opportunities evolve. By reinvesting our $3.5 million annual contribution to PAMA, we will make sure Mississauga residents see the benefit in our own community. Mississauga Council is committed to working with our municipal partners to ensure this transition serves the public interest.\u201d \u2013 Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish.\u201d \u2013 Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is about keeping Mississauga\u2019s investment in Mississauga. Throughout the PAMA transition, our Council has made it clear that savings should be redirected to strengthen arts and culture here at home. By investing in the arts and museums and establishing a dedicated reserve, we gain greater flexibility to support local artists, cultural spaces, and future opportunities in a more sustainable way.\u201d \u2013 Ward 1 Councillor Stephen Dasko<\/p>\n
