While Brampton is already on the map for several reasons, it’s always exciting to hear that films and television shows have been filmed in our city.

According to the City of Brampton, one new series did indeed have scenes filmed right here in Brampton.

A popular CBC series — Save Me — which was nominated for multiple awards at the Canadian Screen Awards, was filmed here in Brampton!

Save Me is a 10-part original anthology series that takes a comedic yet poignant look at lives on the brink of a 911 emergency.

“Everybody has experienced trauma, and finding the humour in universal experiences is what comedy is all about,” said Fab Filippo, Save Me creator and star. “This is an amazing time for telling exciting stories in unconventional ways, and we are lucky to have some of Canada’s most talented and most iconic actors to find the light in some of life’s darkest moments.”

The show focuses on first responder Goldie (Fab Filippo) and his revolving cast of paramedic partners as they respond to 911 calls in downtown Toronto.

According to Experience Brampton, some scenes were filmed at Brampton’s Gore Meadows Community Centre, which is located in the area of The Gore Road and Castlemore Road. In fact, the community centre serves as the fictional paramedic headquarters in the show.

The second season of Save Me is now on CBC Gem.

Looks like we’re famous.
