The City of Brampton and Peel District School Board (PDSB) have officially opened the doors to a cutting-edge Collaborative Learning and Technology Centre (CLTC).

The CLTC boasts modern design, top-tier technology, and amenities aimed at enriching access to STEAM programs for students and residents alike. Equipped with the latest technology, the centre supports immersive learning experiences that prepare students for STEAM careers.
Brampton’s Recreation team continues to collaborate closely with PDSB to offer innovative programs and inclusive initiatives, promoting holistic youth development. Registration for city-based programming at the CLTC is now open to the community, aligning with Brampton’s commitment to expanding access to educational spaces and opportunities for growth.
Mr. Patrick Brown, Mayor of the City of Brampton added that “Today’s announcement signifies a major milestone in our shared commitment to education and community development with Peel District School Board. The Collaborative Learning and Technology Centre showcases the power of collaboration by providing residents and students with resources in STEAM fields.”
