Hundreds of people flocked to Brampton's city hall last week for a unexpectedly popular meeting of the city's planning and development committee. Normally, fewer than 12 people attend. This meeting attracted 649.
Residents fill Brampton City Hall for a debate about a new mosque. Unable to fit in the chambers, staff designated multiple areas of the building to have people wait until their turn to speak drew nearer.
A couple of hundred people registered to speak in advance and hundreds more registered on the day, seeing participants fill the rotunda and various spillover rooms throughout city hall. Azeem Sheikh attended with his wife and spoke in favour of the mosque at around 12:30 a.m. He says the community has longed for a real mosque for many years, as many have been praying in a tiny make-do facility in a nearby strip mall with issues such as nearby sounds interrupting prayers.
The meeting heard from some who lived near the proposed mosque site on Clarkway Drive , who were worried they'd lose privacy as the area became busier. Traffic concerns also came up.
