About
Enjoy PAMA’s newest exhibition, All Aboard! The Railways of Peel, on it's opening day.
Few things have transformed Peel so completely as the construction of railways. Join in the adventure as we travel through time to explore Peel’s first railways in the 1850s, and their rise to importance in the life of local communities well into the 20th Century. Then witness their slow decline following World War II, as they competed with highways and motor traffic. And today, we recognize how railways have are once again central elements in the life and commerce of Peel.

PAMA is an accessible, safe space for the diverse communities of the Region of Peel (Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga) to come together and celebrate arts and culture. We strive to be a place where you can see yourself reflected and actively contribute to building a “Community for Life”.
It’s a place to explore and learn about Peel's culture and heritage, as well as use conversation, questions and stories to help make new and fascinating connections to the surrounding community. PAMA offers a variety of workshops and programs for all ages, families, and adults. There is something for everyone.
Our buildings are our largest artifacts. The site is made of historic buildings: the Peel County Courthouse and Jail, the former Registry Office, and the Modernist Building.
