CW422-2024

Background

With the concurrence of the Mayor, that by the adoption of this Resolution, the City of Brampton formally endorses a plant based treaty and makes a plant
based approach as a part of the city’s climate plan.
2. Use Brampton civic events including meeting and events hosted by city council
to promote and showcase appropriately environmentally friendly plant-based
food and drink options, alongside displayed information about the climate and
11
health benefits and relative cost of different protein/food sources and informing
people about how to achieve a balanced plant-based diet.
3. When events occur on Brampton open spaces, and where catering is
provided, ensure that environmentally friendly plant-based options are
included and available (i.e., minimum from at fifty per cent of caterers),
secured through the use of terms and conditions of hire (where reasonably
and appropriately possible).
4. Evaluate the potential for increasing plant-based food options and introducing
plant-based defaults in City of Brampton facilities and during regional events,
with the aim of increasing healthy eating options for staff and visitors while
contributing to the reduction of negative climate impacts.
5. Promote a plant-based awareness week and use municipal communication
channels to promote sustainable and affordable food and drink practices
throughout the City of Brampton.
6. Create an action plan and time scale for implementing changes to City of
Brampton activities following the endorsement of the treaty and report back on
progress is 6 months
