Lots of great activities on this fall at PAMA like the upcoming FREE Evening Bat Walk in partnership with TRCA on Sept. 6 and Grandma Assiatou’s Seed Pouch Workshop with local artist Mosa McNeilly on Sept. 9.

PAMA is a place to explore and learn about Peel Region’s culture and heritage, as well as use conversation, questions and stories to help make new and fascinating connections to the surrounding community. Throughout the year, PAMA offers a variety of workshops and programs for all ages, families and adults. With so many different programs to choose from, PAMA has something for everyone. Operated by the Region of Peel, PAMA is located at 9 Wellington St. E.in Brampton. Visit pama.peelregion.ca to learn more.

Central Public School was one of the original primary schools in town. It’s now a City of Brampton Recreation Centre.

The students of Castlemore’s one-room schoolhouse, 1930.

These children were the students at Huttonville’s one-room schoolhouse, 1948. Huttonville is at Queen and Mississauga Road, with the newer public school on Embleton Road.

Brampton High School was located on Centre Street, then the far eastern edge of Brampton.

As the Town of Brampton grew, so did its high school. It was eventually joined by a second high school, Central Peel Secondary School, in 1960. Central initially served students from outside of what’s now downtown Brampton. Brampton Centennial Secondary School, opened in 1967, replaced Brampton High entirely.
