Peel Region services you rely on today will continue. We are committed to continue to provide these services, like waste collection and water and wastewater, seamlessly during this transition.
Transferring some regional responsibilities to the City will minimize duplication of services and create efficiencies while still providing the necessary support to front-line service areas.
