Election of Regional Chair
Role of the Regional Chair | Chain of Office
The Chain of Office is a symbolic representation of the entire community known as the Region of Peel. Bearing 10 silver medallions, each of which displays the crest of a former township, town or village of Peel Region, the Chain is worn by the Chair when representing the Region at official functions and at Regional Council.
The Ontario Crest is at the centre front of the Chain of Office, and suspended from it is the Regional crest.
Attached to a three-inch wide band of royal blue velvet, the medallions to the left side of the Regional crest bear the crests of the Town of Port Credit, the Town of Mississauga, the Township of Toronto Gore, the Village of Bolton, the Township of Albion and two empty links. Along the right side of the Regional crests are the crests of the Town of Streetsville, the Town of Brampton, the Township of Chinguacousy, the Village of Caledon East, the Town of Caledon and two empty links. The maple leaf is found on the back of the chain behind the Ontario Crest.
