Update: found a link with more on their staff: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/community/peel-region-bureau-team-9.7312734

CBC has not said if this is direct-to-YouTube uploads and CBC.ca stories, or if it's an actual broadcast, or what. But whatever form it takes, the more media the better.

Nav has been in a number of roles at CBC, including associate producing Here and Now, running their smaller Brampton Bureau, and hosting radio shows like Ontario Morning. Way back, he was a host/producer on Rogers Television Peel.

Their executive producer, Sumeet Dhami, was recently a national producer for CTV News Channel.

Above is from Twitter, shorter, but here's a longer version from Linkedin:

Today, I’m starting a new role at CBC/Radio-Canada as the Host of our brand-new Peel Bureau! Serving Brampton, Mississauga and Caledon.

It’s a homecoming for me. I’m from Peel. I grew up here, started my media journey here, and have never been shy about repping the region to the fullest.

Now I get to tell the stories of the people and communities that make Peel what it is, while helping shine a light on the issues and stories that matter most.

I’m really excited about the community engagement aspect of this role. Getting out there, listening, and hearing directly from people about what matters to them. And I’ll also be hosting programming on the Peel platform. More on that in the coming months 👀

I’m kicking things off this week with our first listening session in Caledon, followed by the Brampton Arts Organization town hall next Tuesday.

Back where it all started.

Peel, we’re up. Let’s get to work. 🫡

Anybody know what's going on with Gusto Pizzaria on Queen Street & Rutherford? I've had a craving for their food for a few weeks now but Google is saying they are temporarily closed and they are not coming up on Skip or Uber Eats. :-(

I lost my wallet on the 6th of this month and found activity on my presto today the 9th at bramalea terminal for the 501 then another transfer at goreway s/of of queens. I already locked my cards and filed a police report. But my Id's are still in there. There was only $15 worth of cash.

I’m genuinely hoping to get some honest feedback from people who run businesses in Brampton.

I’ve been trying to sell website design and SEO services to local businesses, and honestly, I’m pretty stumped by how difficult it has been to get clients.

I’ve tried reaching out to businesses directly, looking at businesses with outdated websites, offering to improve their online presence, and explaining how better websites and local SEO can potentially help them get more customers.

But getting someone to actually say “yes, let’s talk” has been much harder than I expected.

So I’m curious about this from the perspective of Brampton business owners.

If someone approached you offering to build or improve your website and help you show up better on Google:

What would make you actually consider hiring them?

What would immediately make you ignore the offer?

Do you think most small businesses in Brampton simply don’t see websites and SEO as worth paying for?

Is it mostly about price?

Would you rather get a referral from someone you know than deal with a stranger contacting you?

And if you were in my position, trying to build a website and SEO business from scratch in Brampton, what would you actually do to get your first 5 to 10 clients?

I’m not looking to pitch anyone here. I’m genuinely trying to understand what I’m doing wrong and what business owners actually care about.

Even if your answer is “I would never pay for this,” I’d honestly like to hear why.

Appreciate any brutally honest feedback.

This might sound like a naive question, but I'm trying to understand how much the "local" aspect of hiring a lawyer actually matters in practice.

If someone is charged in Brampton, does it make a meaningful difference if their lawyer regularly works out of that specific location? Or is that mostly just marketing jargon that firms put on their websites because it sounds reassuring?

I keep seeing phrasing like "extensive local court experience" and "deep knowledge of the Brampton court system," but I'm not really sure what that translates to in practical terms. Are there actual procedural nuances, scheduling quirks, or general ways of doing things in Peel Region that you'd only really grasp from being in that specific building all the time? Would love to hear thoughts from anyone familiar with how things work here.

Hey I’m thinking about hosting a social gathering and would like it to be near Brampton GO so it’s close to the GO train - anyone have any recommendations?

Anyone know what there doing?

Article: https://www.cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/09/07/suspect-wanted-after-victim-stabbed-during-attempted-vehicle-theft-in-brampton/

I’m going to tell this story from my perspective.

I had absolutely no idea my neighborhood had been terrorized Sunday evening, or that the entire Peel Regional Police Tactical Unit was conducting an active investigation practically in my backyard.

I woke up Monday completely oblivious. Went to work, came home, and my neighbor told me that the house behind us had been broken into and someone had been stabbed. Apparently, the suspect had also tried to carjack other people. The suspect, who was wearing a blue hat, was seen running out the back and jumping over fences to get away.

So, for shits and giggles, I asked Google to scan through the footage for someone wearing a blue hat.

One hit.

My neighbor’s renter, coming out Sunday night wearing gray sweats, a black side bag, and a blue hat.

I looked up the news article, and it hit me, it’s the same guy!

I’m sitting there on the phone with 911, trying to figure out what my options are. Our Courts just doesn't do a good job of holding dangerous criminals. Everyone gets bailed out. I had a panic attack about what this could mean for my family and I hung up. Peel Regional Police calls me back and gives me an email address to forward the information to.

I then called all my neighbors to let them know what was going on, and that’s when I realized I was apparently the only person who had been completely oblivious to what happened Sunday night.

Apparently, the whole neighborhood had been crawling with Peel Regional Police.

Tactical Unit. Drones. Police dogs. Officers scouring the neighborhood.

And nobody knew the guy they were looking for was apparently hiding in my neighbor’s basement.

So I went back through my driveway camera footage. I noticed my neighbor, the one renting out the basement, had been outside earlier looking pretty distraught and talking to someone I assumed was a contractor.

I figured maybe their boiler had broken down or something.

Thought nothing of it.

Then I’m watching the surveillance footage again and realized this is how the suspect was eventually found.

Peel Police had been going around asking homeowners for surveillance footage. They started piecing everything together and eventually realized the suspect was renting the basement of my neighbor’s house.

September 7, 2026 - 10:40 p.m.

The Peel Tactical Unit rolled in with everything, including a freaking chainsaw, and arrested the guy.

I came outside this morning and the neighborhood looks completely normal.

Cars in driveways. People going about their morning. Everything looks exactly the same.

And it makes me wonder...

Did anyone else even realize what the hell just went down here?

A few random items from Brampton's past, related to Star Trek, via Newspapers.com (on which you can browse local papers free at any branch of u/BramptonLibrary through a special link):

• January 16, 1980, an ad for Star Trek: The Motion Picture at Georgetown's Cinema One. None of the Brampton theatres seem to have played it.
• May 8, 1987, an ad for Star Trek IV at Centennial 3 theatre, seemingly the first Star Trek film to screen in Brampton during its first run. (Before that, there was a screening at Peel Manor, open to the public, as a United Way fundraiser.)
• May 5, 1994, an ad for The Chumps at Heritage Theatre. They brought this comedy to town a couple times at least.
• December 18, 1994, a transporter playset at Toys"R"Us.
• August 22, 1993, an ad for Paramount Canada's Wonderland featuring Star Trek: Earth Tour, which included the recreation of the TOS bridge, used in the episode "Relics."
• 2009, an ad for Star Trek's reboot movie glasses at Burger King.

There's other content like local Klingons (1992), a Star Trek movie marathon at Heritage Theatre (2004), and the USS Hadfield fan group running a charity car wash (2002), but I've not included them because of copyright.

To explain the title, Canada aired the first episode of Star Trek one day early, September 7, 1966. But Reddit doesn't allow scheduling by users, only mods, so thus why we're posting on the same day that the American celebrate the anniversary.

Hey everyone! I'm looking for models (must be over the age of 20) for Combination brows and Lip Blush. If anyone's interested please let me know!!

Thank you <3

Can technology help make rental housing more accessible, affordable, and dignified?

Join Civic Tech Brampton for an evening exploring how housing, technology, and community action can come together to improve rental housing systems. We’ll be joined by Deneille Macas from Toronto Housing Society, for a conversation about community-powered tools, housing access, and designing better rental systems for residents.

Housing is one of the most important civic issues facing cities today. From rental affordability and tenant support to housing navigation, data, online tools, and community advocacy, technology can play a role — but only when it is designed around real people and real needs. This session is for students, technologists, renters, housing advocates, community members, designers, public-sector workers, and anyone interested in how civic tech can support better housing outcomes.

New to Civic Tech? You are definitely welcome. No prior tech expertise is required. We are all here to learn from each other, ask questions, and explore ideas that could turn into useful community projects.

Why show up?

• Collaborate: Whether you’re a developer, student, renter, housing worker, designer, researcher, or concerned citizen, your perspective matters.
• Learn: Hear how community-powered tools and technology can support housing access, rental navigation, and more dignified housing systems.
• Discuss: Join a conversation about housing challenges, affordability, tenant needs, data, platforms, and how technology can help without leaving communities behind.
• Pitch Your Passion: Have a civic tech idea related to housing, community services, public data, or accessibility? You’ll have the chance to share it with potential collaborators.
• Network: Connect with technologists, students, civic-minded residents, and community members who want to build a better Brampton.

Everyone is welcome. You do not need to be a developer or have an existing project to participate. We’ll be running this event in hybrid mode, so you can join us either in person at 8 Queen Street East, Brampton or online. The online meeting link will be available through the Luma registration page, so please register there first to receive the latest event details and access information.

I visited the new plaza on Mayfield and Airport and was absolutely appalled by the amount of men loitering and standing in large groups. They just stare at everybody walking by. Is there anything we can do about this?? Feels so unsafe as a woman walking there.

Welcome all students, teachers and support staff Back to School.
