Ward 3 — Downtown & East
Stretching from Hurontario Street east to Dixie Road, between Queen Street West and Steeles Avenue West. Home to downtown and the diverse, growing neighbourhoods around it — facing pressure on healthcare, parking, and aging infrastructure.

Ward 4 — Downtown West
Bounded by Mavis Road, Queen Street West, Hurontario Street, and Steeles Avenue West. A mix of long-established communities and family-first neighbourhoods in southwest Brampton that deserve a councillor who shows up.
