January 1 - Sunday 1 to 3pm Mayor's Annual New Year's Day Levee Mayor Susan Fennell and Members of Council invite all residents to join them in welcoming 2006 at the Mayor's Annual New Year's Day Levee on Jan.1, 2006 in the Atrium of City Hall from 1 to 3 p.m.
Every year, the Mayor and Council open the doors of City Hall on New Year's Day to meet residents and ring in the new year. The tradition of the Mayor's Levee began in the 18th century during the reign of King Louis XIV. It was designed to reinforce the idea that the sovereign was responsible to the people.
The governor of New France, who would sit on the doorstep of his home on New Year's Day to greet residents, brought the tradition to Canada. While the custom of the levee has changed over the years, the intent is the same as it was in the beginning - to show the government's role of public service and extend best wishes for the new year
The Brampton Concert Band and Lorne Scots Pipe Band will entertain at this year's New Year's Day Levee and refreshments will be provided. Residents are encouraged to bring their skates and take advantage of Gage Park's beautiful outdoor ice rink after the Levee. Brampton City Hall is located at 2 Wellington St. W. Gage Park is across the street from City Hall. Free parking will be available in the City Hall parking garage. Atrium of City Hall 905-874-2628 More info... |

His fame endures as evidenced by the tens of thousands of fans that visit his web page (www.jordanknight.com) every week. As a solo artist, Knight enlisted the help of veteran producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

In 1999/2000, Knight enjoyed Top 10 status in Asia, England and Germany as well as the rest of Europe with his debut single "Give It To You."
