Once known as The Flower Town of Canada because of its large greenhouse industry, Brampton’s major economic sectors now include: advanced manufacturing, retail administration and logistics, food and beverage, life sciences and business services. It is also home to the national headquarters of companies such as Loblaw Companies, HBC/Zellers, Bacardi, Brita and Clorox of Canada.

An echo of Brampton’s past can be seen in its new “Flower City” logo; 4,000 acres of parkland and open space; and in award-winning private and public gardens. Brampton also boasts 3 live theatres and has several art galleries, including the Art Gallery of Peel.
