The City of Brampton is hoping to score a run with plans to develop a multi-purpose cricket facility surrounded by a 'new urban core with major transit-oriented opportunities for high-density residential, business, leisure and tourism.' | cbcnews
Cricket players take to Brampton fields in impressive numbers, so much so that leagues have long waitlists.
"The numbers don't lie," Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown told CBC Toronto. "You'll go by baseball diamonds and hockey rinks that are not used ... Yet, when it comes to cricket, there's literally 400 teams on the waitlist that can't get time." "Public spaces so the community will come together, celebrate joys and mingle with each other, and build a sense of community, celebrate multiculturalism ... we don't have those spaces."He said he feels confident this project will help Brampton transition to a healthier community by building social connections and opportunities to learn about each other. Dhillon does not play cricket himself, but lives near the site and plans to visit the new community often.
Childhood memories translate to cricket boom in Thunder Bay, Ont., that's attracting national interestA young Brampton cricket player, Gurshaan Dhot, 10, who lives near the site, told CBC Toronto he thinks a cricket stadium is "a very good idea." Brampton Cricket League president Faraz Saleem says he has long waitlists of teams who want to play in Brampton.
