A mural commemorating a century of Legion service in Brampton is now on display at City Hall, giving residents a specific spot to take in the anniversary artwork.
The piece, by local artist Chelsea Charles, occupies the Tourism Office windows near the main entrance of Brampton City Hall. Bramptonist reported that the City's media relations team confirmed the location on October 2.
According to the City, the artwork reflects the Legion's history, sacrifice and community spirit, turning the windows into a public reminder of the milestone anniversary.
A year-long commemoration
The City's anniversary page recognises the Major William Dwight Sharpe Branch 15 and Branch 609. Branch 15 marks its own 100th anniversary in 2026.
The broader commemoration stretches well beyond the mural. Flower beds at both branches have been revitalised as part of the program.
Brampton City Council proclaimed July 22 as Royal Canadian Legion Day during a meeting on July 8. The City's program describes initiatives continuing through Remembrance Day in November.
Look for the artwork around town
The City confirmed in its October 2 reply that transit-shelter advertisements are already on display, including at four shelters nearest the two Legion branches as well as other locations across Brampton.
A Brampton Transit bus wrapped in centennial branding was also expected to begin service the week after the City's statement, travelling on routes across the city. The City did not provide an exact first day of service or a route assignment, so a guaranteed sighting of the bus can't be planned from the announcement alone.
For residents who want to see the mural itself, the City Hall window location is the confirmed place to visit. The Tourism Office sits near the main entrance of the building in downtown Brampton.
The centennial programming continues through November, when Remembrance Day events will close out the anniversary year.
