Under his leadership, Brampton has reached significant milestones that inspire hope, create opportunities, and instill pride in our community.”

The ceremony was attended by local dignitaries and community members, all celebrating Mayor Brown’s dedication to the city. This accolade not only highlights his contributions to Brampton but also underscores the city’s growing prominence on the national stage.

The King Charles III Coronation Medal is part of a broader initiative to honor approximately 30,000 Canadians, including 4,000 members of the Canadian Armed Forces, for their service and achievements.
