About Cynthia
Rooted in Brampton. Ready to lead.
Founder of BramptonMatters and candidate for Regional Councillor, Wards 7 & 8 with a documented record of standing up for residents in Brampton's planning and development processes.
A documented record of community advocacy
Cynthia Sri Pragash is the founder of BramptonMatters, a community advocacy organization she established to give Brampton residents a stronger voice in municipal planning and development decisions. Her civic record spans years of direct participation in the processes that shape Wards 7 and 8.
One of her most documented efforts involved the proposed development at 1965–1975 Cottrelle Boulevard, where she organized a petition of approximately 1,250 signatures, appeared before Brampton's Planning and Development Committee and City Council, and obtained party status at the Ontario Land Tribunal, raising concerns about the loss of commercial land, development density, and traffic impacts on the surrounding community.
Her advocacy has not been limited to a single file. City records show Cynthia representing BramptonMatters on multiple planning matters affecting Wards 7 & 8, including written submissions, public delegations, and participation in tribunal proceedings. Her approach has consistently centred on bringing residents' concerns directly into the processes that affect their neighbourhoods.

BramptonMatters
Bringing residents' voices into the room
BramptonMatters was founded on a simple principle: residents affected by development and planning decisions deserve a seat at the table. Through petitions, written submissions, public delegations, and tribunal proceedings, Cynthia has worked to ensure that the concerns of Wards 7 & 8 residents are heard and documented in the official record.
As Regional Councillor, Cynthia would bring that same approach to the council chamber: listening to residents, raising their concerns through proper channels, and holding the process accountable to the people it is meant to serve.
