I am so  excited to announce that The Passion for Parkinson’s Foundation has aligned with the City of Mississauga to offer our community a specifically designed Painting with Parkinson’s program commencing this April.
Facilitated by a credentialed art instructor, the program will explore watercolour and acrylic paint techniques, colour theory and line space. The class will focus on stimulating creativity , exploring feelings, and developing social skills. It’s not about artistic excellence. It’s about fun, freedom of expression with  the stroke of a brush.
Classes will be held on Wednesday mornings from 10:30 am to 12:00pm . The first class in April 20^th , 2022. All materials are included and classes  will be held at the Small Arms Inspection Building. (Dixie and Lakeshore Rd) Classes will be 8 weeks in duration.
The Small Arms Inspection Building is a historic,18,000 square foot multi-purpose building. It serves as a cultural hub for a wide range of arts and cultural programs, exhibitions and events. Surrounded by windows, natural light, and scenic park views combined with industrial interior design the venue is ideally suited for painting classes.

 

About the Project

The Dundas Street Corridor is a vibrant street and is a vital part of the City’s transportation network. Over the next 35 to 40 years, the City estimates that the number of people using Dundas Street will grow. This growth is guided by:

• The Dundas Connects Master Plan (DCMP) which developed a vision for the future of land use and transportation along Dundas Street. Learn more about Dundas Connects(External link)
• The future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line which will help people live, work, play, and go to school along Dundas Street and beyond. Learn more about the BRT(External link)

The City has been taking steps through different studies to advance the vision of the Dundas Connect Master Plan. Many of the studies are underway, and will include their own community engagement.

• Transit Project Assessment Process(External link)
• Major Transit Station Area Study
• Downtown Cooksville, Fairview, and Hospital Review
• The Little Etobicoke Creek Flood Evaluation Study(External link)
• The Dixie-Dundas Flood Mitigation Study and Environmental Assessment(External link)
• The Etobicoke Creek Preliminary Flood Evaluation Study(External link)

The City is advancing the vision of the DCMP through these projects. It is also drafting an Official Plan Amendment that implements the DCMP endorsed recommendations. The Official Plan Amendment will proceed once the Region has implemented the Major Transit Station Area policies, followed by the City’s own Major Transit Station Area policies. The approval of the Major Transit station Area policies will need to happen first before the Dundas Connects Master Plan policy implementation.

On May 10th, 2021, staff provided an update to Council’s Planning and Development Committee, summarizing the projects underway and sharing the next steps in implementing the endorsed DCMP. View the report
