Its population is over half a million, making it the 9th largest municipality in Canada. Brampton wasn’t always like this though. In the 1950s Brampton’s population was only about 10,000. Call that a jump! Did you know Brampton was once nicknamed “The Flower Town of Canada” due its booming flower growing industry? For a while, Dale’s Estate Nursery was the town's largest employer and was the largest flower business in North America. Offering more than 6,000 acres of parkland, Brampton provides access to a wide variety of outdoor activities. People from around the world have come together to live, work, play and pray in this City. Brampton residents represent more than 170 different cultures and speak more than 70 languages.

The Durham Region is part of the Greater Toronto area, making it a great choice for commuters. Commuters can take advantage of the easy access to the 401 or if they’d rather skip the traffic, take the Go Train. The Go Train has multiple stops in the Durham region including Whitby and Oshawa. It takes only 45 minutes from Oshawa GO to UNION St. GO (downtown Toronto). The Oshawa station also has service to Montreal and Ottawa. The Durham Region is also one of the fastest-growing areas in Canada; its current population of 700,000 is expected to pass 1 million by 2041. Another reason the Durham Region attracts so many people is because of its proximity to Lake Ontario. Oshawa translates to “where we must leave our canoes”. Aside from all the recreation opportunities Lake Ontario offers, The Port of Oshawa handles over $23 million dollars’ worth of cargo each year. Housing multiple plants of GM Motors, Oshawa is known as the Automotive Capital of Canada That's enough about The Durham Region, to start this tour meet me by Pickering Town Centre.
