Bramalea, Ontario
Bramalea, Ontario

Bramalea (Bram-a-lee) is a large suburban district in the City of Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Bramalea was created as an innovative "new town", and developed as a separate community from the city. Located in the former Chinguacousy Township, it was Canada's first satellite community developed by one of the country's largest real estate developers, Bramalea Consolidated Developments (later Bramalea Limited).The name "Bramalea" was created by the farmer William Sheard, who integrated the BRAM from Brampton, MAL from Malton (then a neighbouring town which is now a part of Mississauga), and the LEA, an old British word meaning meadow or grassland. He sold the land to Brampton Leasing developers and built one of Bramalea's first houses on the intersection of Bramalea Road and Avondale Boulevard. Mr. Sheard owned a large parcel of cattle grazing land that was purchased by the new venture.The community had an extensive Master Plan, which included provisions for a parkland trail system of "green belts" that followed small rivulets that feed the Etobicoke Creek and a "downtown", which would include essential services and a shopping centre. The downtown area's centrepiece was the Civic Centre, which included the township's council chamber, a library, live stage theatre, fire dispatch control centre, post office, and the fledgling Rogers Cable community production centre. This building was funded and built by Bramalea's agreement to maintain a particular balance of residential/industrial taxation base. In default, and in lieu of cash payment, Bramalea offered the Civic Centre as recompense. The township accepted. Shortly thereafter, the Township of Chinguacousy was merged along with the township of Toronto Gore with the Town of Brampton, to become the City of Brampton. Directly across Team Canada Drive from the Civic Centre, Bramalea Limited had built a shopping centre starting in the late 1960s named Bramalea City Centre. The two centrepieces were connected by a short underground passageway under Team Canada Drive, which has long since been sealed due to "hooligan" activities. Other features included a police station, which was built before the other structures, (closed in 2008 in order to move into the new Peel Region offices), a bus terminal which was built as a "dial-a-bus" hub, a Holiday Inn (closed and being converted into a senior's residence), and a collection of seniors' retirement homes. Chinguacousy Park was created nearby, to the northeast of Bramalea Road and Queen Street. A ski hill was built up using fill excavated from residential basements. Each phase of the new city was built with progressing first letters of street names. Development started with the "A" section, with street names like Alderbury, Argyle, Avondale, and Aloma. Then a "B" section was created, "C" section, and so forth. Eventually development reached the M-, N- and P-sections south of Bovaird Drive. Most incorporated local schools, greenspace and pathways. The Zero Lot Line housing concept was pioneered in the G- and H-sections ("The Villages of Central Park"), in an affordable housing joint venture between developers and the Ontario Government called the Home Ownership Made Easy ("HOME") project. Bramalea is the location of the Brampton Assembly automobile factory, which is now owned by Chrysler but was developed by American Motors for the manufacture of its large Eagle Premier sedan (a joint venture with Renault). The district is served by the Bramalea GO Station on GO Transit that was located at on Steeles Avenue west of Bramalea Road.

Professor's Lake
Professor's Lake

Professor's Lake is a 65-acre (26 ha) spring-fed artificial lake located in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. In 1918, the area where the lake currently exists was a sand and gravel mining site supplying aggregates for construction projects in the northwest area of the Greater Toronto Area. During its lifetime, the site produced approximately 20 million tonnes (40 million tons) of aggregate. An aggregate (sand & gravel) production facility was established in 1954 and continued to operate until 1973 after aggregate deposits were exhausted. The aggregate processing and storage facility remained active for raw materials from shipped other sites for several years afterwards. Upon the site's closure, the land was remediated for future use as a residential area. Land remediation was carried out by Standard Aggregates Ltd. by removing pumps formerly used to prevent flooding from the natural water table. Rehabilitation was completed and approved by the Ontario government in compliance with the Ontario Aggregate Resources Act. After the site's conversion to a lake, the property was sold several times before being purchased by the German based developer Lehndorff Corp. and its residential development arm AMEX. Several development proposals were considered and amended before the Brampton City Council agreed to a final proposal from AMEX. The final proposal covered the area currently bounded by Bramalea Rd., Bovaird Dr., Torbram Rd. and North Park Drive. The site is named after Dr. Hans Abromeit (PhD), a former economics professor and the President of Lehndorff at the time. He was referred to as the "Professor" by staff at Lehndorff and AMEX.Several Ontario developers (Greenpark Homes, Lakeview Homes & Bramalea Limited.) purchased the area surrounding the lake from AMEX for residential construction during the 1980s and 90s. The lake is now used extensively for recreational activity such as paddle boarding, kayaking, windsurfing, fishing and canoeing. Professor's Lake Recreation Centre is located on the northeastern side of the lake on North Park Drive. The Recreation Centre has a beach, waterslide, and boathouse that offers watercraft rentals. There are also three volleyball courts at the beach. A plaque issued by the Ontario Stone, Sand & Gravel Association commemorating the remediation efforts by Standard Aggregates Ltd. is mounted on a boulder outside the current Recreation center next to the parking lot. The residential neighbourhood surrounding the lake is also widely referred to as Professor's Lake. The western border of the lake is bordered by homes and a small park, and a paved 2 kilometre promenade borders the northern and eastern borders of the lake. One can easily walk the 3 km around the lake by walking on the paved walkway and the connecting streets. The lake continues to be spring fed and drains into the Brampton underground water control system at the northeast end of the lake. The city stocks the lake with a variety of fish species. In August 1998, the lake was temporarily closed after a local angler caught a rogue piranha in the lake. After a full survey of the lake, it was concluded that an aquarium piranha had been released into the lake. Piranhas are tropical fish and it could not have survived a Canadian winter when the water temperature plummeted.
