The Brampton Guardian is a news website in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Formerly it was a locally distributed, free, weekly community newspaper.
History
In the late 1950s, the Bramalea development began, under the oversight of Bayton Holdings Ltd., then Bramalea Consolidated Developments Limited. An attempt at a self-contained community, the "satellite city" included industrial parks, shopping centres, and other conveniences. Bramalea Limited created a newspaper for the community, The Bramalea Guardian. The Guardian was first published August 13, 1964, as a weekly in tabloid format publication.
It was created as a corporately run publication, and was sold in 1966 to The Toronto Telegram.
A short-lived rival, The Brampton Bulletin, lasted from 2005 until early November 2006.
Segments
The Brampton Booster
The final issue was published January 6, 2011; it was replaced the next week by Thursday edition of The Brampton Guardian.
South Asian Focus
The Region of Peel and the wider Greater Toronto Area continues to welcome a rapidly growing visible minority community. The minority is now becoming the majority in several pockets of the GTA, and South Asians spearhead this demographic shift.
South Asian Focus was established based on these trends in early 2007 as a weekly newspaper addressing issues of interest to all South Asian communities.
