TORONTO - Ontario will announce Thursday that it is dissolving the Region of Peel, which includes the municipalities of Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon, senior government sources say.
Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie has been pushing for her city to become independent, saying it will save her municipality $1 billion over 10 years and make it more efficient. Another source with knowledge of the announcement said the province will be appointing a committee to look at the costs of separation.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said last week that he believed Mississauga and Brampton are large cities that can stand alone.
