Be sure to visit our online hub of tours, videos, and photos of some of Brampton’s most interesting locations, and check out the artist talks and haunted and heritage tours throughout the month,” Paul Vicente, regional councillor for Wards 1 and 5 and Vice-Chair of the Economic Development and Culture for Brampton, said in the same release.
