**Peel Region remains committed to uninterrupted service delivery during the transition outlined in the Peel Transition Implementation Act, 2024, introduced by the Ontario government on December 12, 2024. If passed, this legislation would transfer responsibility for regional roads and stormwater infrastructure to Brampton, Caledon, and Mississauga by July 1, 2026, or as determined by the Minister. Waste collection and two community recycling centres in Mississauga would also transfer to the City of Mississauga. Peel Region continues to offer meaningful opportunities for skilled professionals to make a lasting impact during this period of change and beyond.
