Brampton by the Numbers

58 New City Hires

Additional employees added just to administer the RRL program, increasing the burden on you

Bold Solutions for a Growing Brampton

💰

Property Tax Control

Stopping the uncontrolled rise of property taxes. The city claims a 0% increase, but your actual bill says otherwise.

The Facts & The Fix +
The Problem: Brampton residents are frequently told property tax increases are 0%, yet final tax bills often reflect significant jumps due to shifts in regional levies and internal city spending.

Keval's Solution: I will push for a **Value for Money Audit** across all city departments. We must fix the spending problem at its root rather than asking for more from your wallet every year.
🚔

Safety & Auto Theft

Stopping the ~1,900 vehicle thefts and a 400% surge in carjackings/home invasions for keys that haunt our streets.

The Facts & The Fix +
The Problem: Brampton sees over 5 cars stolen every single day. Even more concerning is the rise in home invasions specifically targeting keys for high-end vehicles.

Keval's Solution: We need more officers on the road patrolling our neighborhoods, rather than behind desks at headquarters. We need a redistribution of our $837M police budget to prioritize frontline safety.
👵

No Property Tax for Seniors

Zero Property Tax for principal residents aged 65 and over with a family income below $50,000 per year.

The Facts & The Fix +
The Problem: Our community builders are being taxed out of their own homes. Seniors on fixed incomes cannot keep up with the rising cost of living in Brampton.

Keval's Solution: I am proposing a **Full Property Tax Exemption** for seniors (65+) for their principal residence, provided their total family income is below $50,000 pa. We must protect our seniors from displacement.
🏥

Healthcare & The Hospital

Demanding immediate construction on the Peel Memorial expansion. Approved in 2021, yet still no major progress in 2026.

The Facts & The Fix +
The Problem: The expansion of Peel Memorial was approved in 2021, but the project remains stagnant while wait times at Brampton Civic continue to be among the worst in Ontario.

Keval's Solution: I will demand construction start immediately with strict Turnaround Times (TATs) for all city-level approvals. We must hold provincial and hospital partners accountable for the 5-year delay.
🏠

Ending the RRL Burden

The Residential Rental Licensing (RRL) is a revenue-driven regulatory burden. It over-regulates homeowners with 400% higher penalties.

The Facts & The Fix +
The Problem: The city just added 58 new employees specifically to administer this program, creating an extra financial burden on Brampton residents for a program other major cities don't require.

Keval's Solution: I will fight to abolish the RRL. Tenants already have a pathway to report issues via 3-1-1. We don't need a massive new bureaucracy that primarily serves to collect fees and penalties from homeowners.
⚖️

Police Budget Value

Demanding accountability for the $837M annual spend. We need more frontline visibility, not more administrative expansion.

The Facts & The Fix +
The Problem: We are paying nearly $837 million annually for policing in our region, yet carjackings are up 400% and response times for non-emergency calls are lagging.

Keval's Solution: I will advocate for a comprehensive **Value for Money Audit** of the police budget. We must ensure that our dollars are stopping crime on the street rather than funding back-office growth.

Brampton taxpayers are tired of being told everything is fine while their bills go up and their streets feel less safe. It’s time for a councillor who speaks the truth and fights for you
