Proud to speak last night at @ncctonline's annual Grand Gala of Canadian Tamils.

NCCT has been an extraordinary organization advocating for justice, human rights and accountability for the war criminals in Sri Lanka that continue to evade justice for their crimes against humanity.

The resilient Tamil-Canadian community despite adversity in their journey continue to flourish in Brampton, the GTA and across Canada.

During the recent winter storm, which brought more than 30 cm of snow to Brampton, the City's winter operations were fully mobilized to keep our community safe.

Snow clearing crews worked around the clock 24/7 with more than 362 pieces of equipment deployed, helping maintain:
• 4,162 lane km of roads
• 1,041 km of sidewalks fronting City-owned properties
• 2,681 transit stops
• 224 km of recreational trails
• 251 school crossings
• 84 City facility parking lots

To ensure roads remained accessible for plows and emergency vehicles, no-parking rules were strictly enforced:
🚗 117 vehicles towed
🧾 3,190 tickets issued
💰 $465,710 in fines

When snow falls, street parking is not allowed. Vehicles must be removed so plows and emergency crews can safely operate. Enhanced and towing will be in effect.
When it starts to snow, your car has got to go.

Thank you to our winter operations and by-law enforcement staff for their tireless work, and to residents for doing their part to keep Brampton safe this winter.
