Recycling Provider in Peel Region has changed

By Resources

Starting January 1, 2026, Ontario will complete its transition to extended producer responsibility (EPR) where producers—those that supply packaging and paper materials—will be fully responsible for funding and managing the program. This new system will be managed by Circular Materials, the administrator of the common collection system and a not-for profit organization that is committed to building efficient and effective recycling systems.

Any recycling collection and bin issues should be directed to GFL, the new collection contractor for recycling in Peel. Residents can reach out via email at peelrecycling@gflenv.com or call 1-877-268-4351.

For general questions about Ontario’s new recycling system, residents can contact Circular Materials at customerservice@circularmaterials.ca or call 1-877-667-2626.

More MiWay express service coming to Kipling Bus Terminal starting April 27

By Resources, Transit

MiWay will be extending Route 135 Eglinton Express to serve Kipling Bus Terminal, offering customers another frequent connection to both TTC and GO Transit services in Toronto.

City services | April 20, 2026

As Mississauga grows, MiWay is adjusting service to keep up with rider needs. These adjustments are based on ridership data and customer feedback that highlight areas for improvement. This ongoing review enables MiWay to make changes to improve connections and reduce crowding on busy routes. These changes also help make trips faster, more frequent and reliable for travel within and beyond Mississauga. As of April, MiWay’s transit network has grown to include 13 major corridor routes that operate at 15 minutes or better.

Route 135 Eglinton Express extended to Kipling Bus Terminal

To improve connections to Toronto, Route 135 Eglinton Express will be extended to serve Kipling Bus Terminal. This more frequent, extended service will give customers another reliable, express option to connect to TTC and GO Transit services at this key transit hub in Toronto. For trips back to Mississauga, customers can board Route 135 Eglinton Express at Platform 5 (stop #9059). This is on the north side of Kipling Bus Terminal.

Platform changes at Kipling Bus Terminal

Many MiWay routes that serve Kipling Bus Terminal will have new platform locations. The new platform layout supports the extended Route 135 Eglinton Express and helps reduce crowding. Some routes will now use a dedicated drop-off area.

Service improvements

Improved service will be seen on these routes:

  • On weekdays: 3 Bloor, 5 Dixie, 28 Confederation, 70 Keaton, 71 Sheridan and 108 Financial Express.
  • On Sundays: 101 Dundas Express.
  • Connections to GO service at Erindale and Cooksville GO stations: 9 Rathburn and 28 Confederation.

New bus stops on Route 107

In response to customer feedback, MiWay will add new bus stops to Route 107 Malton Express along Humberwood Boulevard at Pinecone Drive in Toronto. The southbound stop (#3459) will serve buses headed to City Centre Transit Terminal. The northbound bus stop (stop #3458) will allow for customers to be dropped off by buses heading towards Humber College Bus Terminal.

Routing adjustment on Route 108

To improve the efficiency of Route 108 Financial Express, the afternoon southbound routing will follow a simpler route along Financial Drive and Creditview Road. This will match the morning northbound routing. A new bus stop on Creditview Road at Derry Road (stop #6139) will replace two existing bus stops (stops #1575 and #1423) along Creditview Road and Derry Road.

Schedule adjustments

MiWay will adjust schedules on several routes to keep service reliable as traffic and ridership change across the city. More schedule adjustments may follow.

Seasonal post-secondary service reductions

Due to lower customer demand during the summer academic term, the following routes will have reduced service:

  • 44 Mississauga Road
  • 110A University Express
  • 126 Burnhamthorpe Express.

Regular post-secondary service will resume on Tuesday, September 8.

Give your feedback on MiWay service

Have your voice heard! MiWay has partnered with Experience Advisors to survey customers from April 7 to 24 about their satisfaction with transit. They will be at terminals, bus stops and on-board buses inviting customers to share feedback through a short survey. They will be wearing visitor passes with the MiWay logo as identification.

Visit miway.ca for full details and to plan your trip.

Join a Canada-wide digital book club at the Mississauga Library

By Events

The Mississauga Library and One eRead Canada are offering unlimited eBook and audiobook access for a Canadian bestseller in April.

City services | April 20, 2026

Book lovers can join a nationwide reading experience this month at the Mississauga Library. The library has partnered with One eRead Canada, a digital book club that brings readers and libraries together across Canada.

During April, the library is offering unlimited eBook and audiobook checkouts of the award-winning novel “What I Know About You (Ce que je sais de toi) by Éric Chacour, translated from French by Pablo Strauss. This is a heartbreaking story of family and an impossible love, torn apart by secrets and tradition in late twentieth-century Cairo. Readers can borrow the book instantly through the library’s online catalogue to read or listen on a tablet, phone or audio device.

The program invites readers to journey behind the text with a free online talk with the author. The talk will be streamed live across Canada in English on the Mississauga Library’s YouTube channel.

Details

What

Borrow “What I Know About You” in both eBook and audiobook formats during the month of April. Readers can then join an online talk with author Éric Chacour and translator Pablo Strauss, hosted by Antonio M. Downing of CBC’s “The Next Chapter.”

Who

Mississauga Library cardholders can instantly borrow unlimited eBook and audiobook copies during the month of April. Sign up for a virtual library card on the Mississauga Library website.

Where

When

Why it matters

Libraries often pay excessively high prices to provide eBooks and audiobooks for borrowing. One eRead Canada is a project of the Canadian Urban Libraries Council. During April, it provides free and unlimited access to a chosen eBook and audiobook. It helps show how libraries play a critical role in supporting Canadian publishers by helping readers find new stories and authors.

One eRead Canada’s annual campaign brings attention to high digital book prices and supports change. This work supports the Mississauga Library’s goal to encourage reading and make books more accessible, as outlined in the Library Future Directions Plan.

Mississauga refreshes its Strategic Plan

By Food for thought

Imagine Mississauga (2026-2031) will help guide growth, services and decision-making now and into the future.

Local government | April 17, 2026

The City of Mississauga has refreshed its Strategic Plan, setting a clear direction for how the City will plan and make decisions now and into the future.

Imagine Mississauga (2026–2031) builds on the City’s original Strategic Plan adopted in 2009, while modernizing to meet today’s needs, including affordability pressures, climate change, transportation options, economic competitiveness and community expectations for transparent and accountable government.

The refreshed Plan was shaped through extensive engagement efforts, informed by research, benchmarking and more than 19,000 points of public input, along with feedback from City staff, Council, Indigenous communities and equity‑deserving groups.

The Strategic Plan is structured around five pillars: Belong, Connect, Prosper and Green and the introduction of a new pillar, Trust. This new pillar represents the City’s commitment to fiscal responsibility, transparency and delivering value for money.

In addition to refreshing the City’s long‑term vision and values, the Plan places a strong focus on implementation. To guide service delivery and long-term decision-making across the organization, a new Corporate Accountability Framework was developed. This framework links strategic priorities to planning, budgeting and performance measurement.

The refreshed Strategic Plan – Imagine Mississauga (2026-2031), will serve as a living document, guiding City programs, investments and policies as Mississauga continues to grow.

For Your Information: Painted Traffic Calming Edge-lines

By Food for thought

In Ontario, pavement markings are considered a guidance or advisory system that works in conjunction with regulations identified by signs and traffic signals. They are not an enforceable traffic device on their own.

Painted edge-lines have proven to be successful in reducing operating speeds on residential roadways by visually reducing the travelled width of the roadway making it less comfortable for motorists to increase their operating speeds. It is important to note that these edge-lines are not designated bicycle lanes, do not delineate a pedestrian pathway or on-street parking, nor do they impact the existing parking regulations on the roadway.  Motorists are free to track over the lines while navigating the roadway, especially when passing an oncoming vehicle, provided it is safe to do so.

Painting of edge-lines are considered a “soft” traffic calming measure and a relatively inexpensive and effective first step in addressing local residential traffic safety concerns.
