Ontario-Based 55H Data Centre Hosts Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown to Showcase Expansion, Digital Innovation, and Economic Impact
BRAMPTON, ON, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 55H, a rapidly growing data infrastructure platform backed by Grain Management, welcomed Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown to its flagship data centre on May 6 to highlight its ongoing expansion and the region's critical role in powering Canada's digital future. The visit, held in collaboration with operating partner CORE Data Centres, showcased 55H's purpose-built, high-performance facility and its alignment with Canada's broader technology and sustainability goals.
The day began with a conversation between the Mayor's office, the CORE team, and 55H leadership, including Ted Manvitz, Chairman of 55H, and Bill Henneberry, owner of CORE Data Centres. The discussion explored 55H's differentiated approach to digital infrastructure, including Grain's investment philosophy, the facility's AI-optimized architecture, and the long-term economic and social value data centres bring to local communities—enhancing connectivity, catalyzing job creation, and supporting educational and civic infrastructure.
"Data infrastructure is the foundation of our digital economy, and it's exciting to see companies like 55H making long-term investments right here in Brampton," said Mayor Patrick Brown. "Their focus on clean energy, cutting-edge technology, and alignment with Canada's AI vision reinforces Brampton's role as a key driver of technology innovation."
The Brampton facility tour highlighted 55H's innovative design, with 5MW of clean, hydro-sourced power coming online this summer and a significant expansion underway to deliver up to 20MW of total IT capacity. The Mayor and his team engaged actively throughout the visit, asking insightful questions about infrastructure resilience, renewable energy strategy, and regional growth potential.
"We're seeing accelerating demand from AI-centric organizations that require scalable, energy-efficient infrastructure," said Ted Manvitz. "Beyond technical capabilities, data centres like 55H create broader ecosystems that support economic development, enhance public services, and lay the groundwork for long-term digital innovation."
