UPDATE Notice from AMICO – South Service Road Full Closure – Haig Blvd to Ogden Avenue August 4th to August 21st, 2026

By Construction, Ward 1

Please be advised that the full closure of South Service Road between Ogden Ave and Haig Blvd, previously scheduled to end on August 21, 2026, has been extended until September 4, 2026, weather permitting.

The extension is required due to multiple unforeseen utility and infrastructure conflicts encountered at the Ogden Avenue and South Service Road intersection, which have impacted the installation and activation of the permanent traffic signals. Additional time is necessary to resolve these conflicts and complete the remaining electrical work safely and efficiently.

The Contractor has coordinated the closure extension with MiWay, and MiWay has confirmed that there are no concerns with the extended closure period.

The detour route will continue to be implemented to safely guide motorists around the closure area.

We kindly request that the City and Region circulate a closure extension update to emergency and first-response services, including Fire, Paramedic, Police, and any other relevant agencies, to facilitate emergency response planning during the closure period.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as these works are completed. For further information, please contact 905-247-8730 or qewdixie@ghd.com.

Mississauga unveils transformational action plan for its cultural and creative sector

By Announcement, Music, Stephen’s Initiatives

A task force of leaders representing arts, heritage and creative industries was formed to develop a co-ordinated sector strategy, titled The Creative Advantage: A Transformational Action Plan.

Local government | June 24, 2026

Today, the City of Mississauga announced The Creative Advantage: A Transformational Action Plan for Mississauga’s Cultural and Creative Sector, a co-ordinated roadmap to strengthen, sustain and grow the City’s arts, heritage and creative industries. The plan was adopted by City Council following five months of engagement with the Mayor’s Arts and Museums Task Force.Developed by Mayor Carolyn Parrish in December 2025 and led by Ward 1 Councillor and Chair of the Task Force Stephen Dasko, with support from Deputy Mayor and Ward 4 Councillor John Kovac and Ward 3 Councillor Chris Fonseca, the Mayor’s Arts and Museums Task Force brought together 11 sector leaders across the arts, heritage and creative industries alongside City staff. Members identified the key barriers, opportunities and priorities facing the sector.

What the City heard

Through the engagement process, the Task Force identified six areas of need:

  • Greater access to cultural spaces.
  • Better opportunities for local artists and groups.
  • More cultural, creative events and programs.
  • Simpler processes for creative activations.
  • Collaborative marketing partnerships with the City.
  • Enhanced engagement, networking and information sharing.

A shared way of working

The sector strategy combines Task Force recommendations with a decade of City cultural strategy and policy work into 30 actions under five priorities:

  1. Share the stories of the lands and people of Mississauga.
  2. Optimize City systems and processes.
  3. Build a sustainable creative economy.
  4. Protect and create cultural spaces.
  5. Elevate Mississauga as a significant cultural and tourism destination.

A corporate report highlights how implementation will require cross-departmental alignment, external partnerships and sustained investment, alongside provincial and federal support.

Next steps include supporting local arts and culture organizations, unlocking new spaces for creative activity and aligning funding for future sector growth.

The City is currently advancing related initiatives, such as the creation of a state-of-the-art music hub in the downtown and process improvements for supporting community-led creative projects.

For more information, view the corporate report.

Parents: Don’t risk the ride! Keep kids off e-scooters.

By Food for thought

Reminder to parents and guardians that it is illegal and unsafe for kids under the age of 16 to ride e-scooters.

City services | August 13, 2026

If used properly and in the right places, e-scooters can be a convenient way for residents and visitors aged 16 or older to move around the city. These devices can make it easier to connect to transit, travel to school or work, or complete everyday errands without a car. However, these motorized devices can be dangerous for kids under the age of 16 and can result in serious and life-altering injuries.E-scooter injuries among Mississauga residents are increasing, including among underage riders according to the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System, 2022-2024, Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). IntelliHEALTH Ontario, Ministry of Health.

  • Emergency department visits involving children aged 15 and under on e-scooters more than doubled, from 34 visits in 2023 to 72 visits in 2024.
  • In 2024, underage riders accounted for approximately three out of every 10 emergency department visits involving an e-scooter.

Why e-scooters are dangerous for kids under 16

E-scooters may look easy and fun, but they are motorized vehicles that require a higher level of physical control, awareness and decision-making. Private e-scooters can travel at speeds greater than the legal limit of 24 km/h, increasing the risk of serious injury if a rider loses control or encounters unexpected hazards.

Safe operation also requires good judgement and quick decision-making skills just like driving a car; skills that are still developing in younger children.

For children under 16, non-electric scooters and bicycles are a safer choice. These activities help build balance, coordination and confidence while allowing younger riders to develop important road safety and cycling skills.

E-scooters do’s and don’ts for riders 16 years and older

If you’re riding an e-scooter, you must:

  • Be 16 years or older.
  • Wear a helmet (mandatory for riders aged 16 to 18).
  • Obey traffic signs and signals.
  • Share the road, bike lanes and trails with others.
  • Check for traffic before entering intersections.
  • Use a horn or bell before passing others.
  • Park responsibly to keep pathways clear for others.
  • Turn on your lights from sunset to sunrise and use reflectors.

Do not ride an e-scooter:

  • On sidewalks.
  • While racing with others.
  • While carrying passengers or heavy items.
  • While texting.
  • Above 24 km/h.
  • Where it’s restricted by signage.

If you’re 16 or older, brush up on riding safety, rules and etiquette in Mississauga.
