Peel Regional Council


Peel Regional Council is the governing body of the Regional Municipality of Peel, Ontario, Canada.

Formation

Peel Council was formed in 1973 when the Regional Municipality of Peel was created to replace the old Peel County. It was created by the province to deal with counties with significant growth patterns. It is supposed to mimic the role of the former Metro Toronto Council.

Political Structure

It currently consists of 25 members: the mayors of Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon, eleven councillors from Mississauga, six councillors from Brampton, four additional councillors from Caledon, and the regional chair, who is appointed by council members. These members are elected via double direct election.

The Peel wards are based on the ward system of each city, so there are repeated ward numbers:
In 2014 the inaugural meeting of council met at Mississauga Convention Centre.
In 2018 the inaugural meeting of council met at 10 Peel Centre Drive Council Chambers
