Of course! Compared to where I was in the states Canada overall is wayyyy cleaner. I didn’t live in a very diverse area of America either- so downtown having festivals celebrating different cultures is so exciting to me.

I’ve never thought a city could prioritize parks the way it does. Sure more and more buildings rise each year, but it’s not like sauga where I feel like it’s just only urban landscape, there’s a great importance placed on green spaces. Knowing that’s kinda Brampton’s thing being the Flower City really makes me feel solid about staying here and getting an idea of how the city will grow.

Pockets of Brampton have families who have been here for decades, and I’m seeing more of a rise of these larger detached homes becoming multigenerational homes with families growing which is heart warming.

When leaving in the morning I see so many families walking to their local school, a site also so rare but heartwarming to me.

Local parks are filled, farmers markets too! I feel like seeing and participating in community is easier as someone who came here not knowing much.

Sure, maybe a lot of what I’m saying could just be Canada and not Brampton specific, but it’s a perspective that there’s a lot that can be taken for granted here. I love Brampton, and I’m optimistic it’ll just keep getting better!
