What's on Where
Brampton, Ontario
  

Brampton has many rivers and lakes to enjoy. The Credit and West Humber Rivers flow through Brampton, which made the land very attractive to early settlers. Lakes such as Heart Lake, Professor's Lake, and Loafer's Lake have provided popular leisure activities for both visitors and residents alike.

Professor’s Lake offers groomed sandy beaches, waterslides, windsurfing, canoeing, and paddle boating.

In 2006 Brampton’s fabulous new Performing Arts Centre opened to the public. Spend an evening in Brampton and take in a show at the Heritage Theatre. With over 350 restaurants, shops & services, flavours from the world can be found clustered over just a few blocks in the scenic & historic Downtown.

Gerry Dee
Rose Theatre Main Stage

Audiences agree – you just can't get enough Gerry Dee. If you aren't a Gerry Dee regular at the Rose, you probably know him from TSN's The Score as "Gerry Dee Sports Reporter," you've seen him in multiple TV commercials, or maybe Trailer Park Boys: The Movie. Either way, you'll want to scramble for seats when he drops by again this year.

Sold-out three years in a row, Gerry Dee offers big laughs and great new material every time!

Annual PEEL MUSIC FESTIVAL 2012

Peel Music Festival was started in 1927 by W.E. Capps, a Brampton schoolteacher who wanted to create a competitive venue for school choirs. Today, over 80 years later, PMF has grown into being one of Canada's largest music festivals. Faithful to its origin, PMF continues to have a section for school choirs and ensembles. But it has also become much more, even pushing out of the boundaries of music and into related art forms. Besides offering competitive adjudication of the highest professional standard to young performers playing a wide variety of instruments – brass, woodwinds, strings, classical guitar, and piano – PMF also includes classes for ensembles, and for performers in related art forms such as vocal, musical theatre and speech arts. Peel Music Festival is a not-for-profit organization, run by a group of dedicated, volunteer music teachers.

For more information or to obtain an entry form, visit www.peelmusicfestival.ca.
