The Province of Ontario has committed an unprecedented $2.3 billion towards this vital project, ensuring that Brampton’s health care capacity meets the demands of today and the future. The development of Brampton’s second hospital is made possible by the leadership and vision of William Osler Health System and its Foundation.
Building on this commitment, Brampton’s 2025 Budget prioritizes investments that will strengthen the city’s health care infrastructure. The City has earmarked $10 million for the TMU School of Medicine, to expand medical education and innovation. Additionally, $81.1 million in reserves to date and $4.9 million in levies have been dedicated to supporting the transformation of Peel Memorial, reinforcing Brampton’s efforts to secure accessible, high-quality health care for its residents.
Community support continues to play a critical role in advancing health care in Brampton. Last year, Mayor Brown’s Hockey Night in Brampton raised a record-breaking $14 million for the William Osler Health System Foundation, in support of the new hospital. As one of the largest community charity hockey games in Canadian history, the event highlights the strength and generosity of the Brampton community and its commitment to building a stronger local health care system. This year’s event will take place August 20, 2025.
The City of Brampton remains committed to working in partnership with all levels of government, industry partners and the community to support the continued growth and development of Brampton’s health care system. Today’s groundbreaking is just the beginning of an exciting and advanced future for health care in Brampton.
