Street Name Committee
The Region of Peel, City of Mississauga, City of Brampton and Town of Caledon work together to review proposed street names for new developments and the renaming of existing streets.
This review ensures that a proposed street name for a new development or a new name for an existing street:
- Is unique and does not duplicate the name of an existing street.
- Sounds distinctly different from other existing or approved street names.
- Is easy to spell and pronounce in an emergency situation.
The Committee includes:
- Representatives of the 3 Area Municipalities
- All Fire and Emergency Services
- Peel Regional Police employees
- Peel Paramedic Services employees
- Peel Public Works employees
The Committee meets approximately every 2 months to consider names in accordance with the Street Names Committee policies and guidelines.
A street name that is accepted by the Committee is considered approved for use by the City of Brampton and the Town of Caledon.
The City of Mississauga recommends Committee-accepted street names to Mississauga Council for final approval.
