Help Shape Brampton's First Archaeological Protection Plan
Official title: Archaeological Master Plan
Brampton is creating its first plan to protect archaeological sites across the city. The plan will map areas where artifacts might be found and set rules for what happens when development is proposed on sensitive land. Indigenous communities are being consulted throughout the process.
Why This Matters
Live in Brampton? This affects what happens when someone wants to build on land that might contain Indigenous artifacts or historical sites. If you care about preserving local history or ensuring Indigenous heritage is respected, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
New policies will be added to Brampton's Official Plan requiring archaeological assessments before development in sensitive areas. The city will have detailed maps showing where artifacts are likely to be found. Developers may face new requirements to consult with Indigenous communities before breaking ground.
Key Issues
- How should the city identify and map areas with archaeological potential?
- What policies should govern development on land with archaeological significance?
- How should Indigenous communities be engaged in protecting archaeological resources?
