Published February 14, 2017 at 5:49 am

With more people working remotely, local businesses have adapted the mindset of being an “office friendly” environment.

If you’re in Brampton, lucky for you, we’ve found the top 5 places you can work from (in no particular order), without compromising your Wi-Fi connection.


5) A Restaurant or Cafe

While these places might be a little busier, they’re great for workers who don’t mind–or even like–a little white noise. if you want to work while enjoying a really tasty meal, you can break out your laptop and connect to complimentary Wi-Fi at J. Red & Co, August 8 and Jake’s Boathouse. If you prefer to work in a cafe, chain coffee shops Coffee Culture and William’s Fresh Cafe offer food, comfy seating and Wi-Fi. If you prefer to support more independent gems, you can toil away at Sweet Breeze Cafe and the popular downtown hotspot T by Daniel

Remember, if you’re using a restaurant or cafe’s Wi-Fi, it is poor form to occupy a table for hours if you’re only going to order one small coffee or tea–and it’s even worse if you’re going to stick to tap water. Be courteous to the establishment and order a meal (if you’re at a restaurant) and coffee and snacks (pastries, sandwiches, etc) if you’re at a cafe. 


4) Brampton Library – Four Corners Branch (65 Queen Street E.)

Four Corners library is a part of Brampton’s heritage and is located in the heart of the city. This library has two floors, offers free Wi-Fi and has a stellar graphic novel collection. This library in particular is quieter compared to other libraries in Brampton. Meeting and study rooms are also available if you’d like to have some private space with a group of people- however in order to rent the room exclusively, you have to pay a small fee. You are also welcome to share the study room with other individuals at no cost if the room is not exclusively booked.


3) Donald M. Gordon Chinguacousy Park (9050 Bramalea Road)
