Wanted: Memories of Bramalea
Brampton Guardian | By PAM DOUGLAS | May 1, 2010

Bramalea is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and current and former residents are being asked to help make the festivities memorable. Volunteers to join the anniversary organizing committee are needed, and so are everyone’s stories, memories, photographs and memorabilia. Displays, sports events and a walk down memory lane will all be part of the celebrations throughout June.

Some of the festivities are being organized at area recreation centres, and each has a volunteer neighbourhood committee set up to help with the planning, but more volunteers are needed. Bramalea Councillors Gael Miles and Sandra Hames say the theme for the anniversary will be Family, Fun and Community. “Bramalea has always been known as a family community,” said Miles, who moved to the area in 1975.

“It is a great place to raise kids,” Hames, who moved here in 1969, agreed. “Anything they wanted to do was here— the nice greenspace, the recreation programs.”

The main organizing committee has approximately 70 members, but more are needed to spearhead all of the events being planned. There is a group looking at the history of the area, another organizing sports events and the Mayor’s Youth Team is writing a jingle to capture the significance of the occasion.

Bramalea was Canada’s first satellite planned community that included a parkland trail system of green belts and a downtown that included essential services and a shopping centre. Each phase was built with progressing first letters of street names. Development started with the A section.
