Formation
Peel Council was formed in 1973 when the Regional Municipality of Peel was created to replace the old Peel County. It was created by the province to deal with counties with significant growth patterns. It is supposed to mimic the role of the former Metro Toronto Council.
Political Structure
It currently consists of 25 members: the mayors of Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon, eleven councillors from Mississauga, six councillors from Brampton, four additional councillors from Caledon, and the regional chair, who is appointed by council members. These members are elected via double direct election.
- Caledon Councillors Wards 1-4 and Mayor
- Brampton Councillors Wards 1-10 and Mayor
- Mississauga Councillors Wards 1-11 and Mayor
