SUMMARY
Brampton is the 15th largest city in Canada and is expected to jump to tenth largest by 2021. Proximity to Canada's largest international airport, accessibility by Highways 407, 410, 427 and 401, a young and highly skilled labour pool, and a low-cost operating environment make Brampton a highly desirable business location. The production of automobiles, food and beverage products, telecommunications and aerospace equipment, plastic extrusions and other industrial products are the cornerstones of Brampton's economy.
In 1991, development commenced on Springdale, a 10-year, $5-billion, 4,000 acre, 22,000-home residential community, which is one of Canada's largest single residential projects. Brampton has close to 2,500 acres of connecting walkways, trails and parks. In fact, it has more parkland and recreation facilities per capita than any other city in Canada.
Land Area: 265 sq.km./101 sq.mi.
Total Businesses: 5,433 (Canada Post, 1995)
