The City of Brampton has selected a design concept led by Canadian architecture firm gh3* for the redevelopment of Ken Whillans and Garden Squares.

The successful concept, called The Flower Squares, aims to reimagine the two civic spaces as “unified yet distinct” destinations inspired by Brampton’s floral heritage. It deploys landscaping, sculptural architecture and motifs that support everyday use, public gatherings and cultural programming.

Located in front of Brampton City Hall, Ken Whillans Square will become a ceremonial and event space adjacent to Gage Park. It features Shimmer Stage, an integrated digital screen and lush berms designed to preserve mature trees and define an informal amphitheatre.
