Doug Ford’s government tabled legislation on Thursday to split Peel Region into the separate municipalities of Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon by Jan. 1, 2025. In the coming weeks, the government will also look at whether several other fast-growing cities still need to have a regional level of government.

Other regions the province is eyeing for dissolution include Durham, Halton, Niagara, Simcoe, Waterloo, and York.
