City of Mississauga Notice of Completion Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study: Cooksville Creek Erosion Control Project – South of Lakeshore Road

By Parks, Resources, Ward 1

Project Background
The City of Mississauga (the City) has completed a Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study for erosion control and restoration of Cooksville Creek south of Lakeshore Road.

The City recognizes that this section of Cooksville Creek has been impacted by recent storm events and high lake levels and is in need of rehabilitation. Plans also considered the deteriorated condition of the adjacent city trail through Helen Molasy Memorial Park that sits above the east bank of the creek, as well as the neighbouring properties which experience ongoing drainage issues.

Study Completion
The Study has examined this section of Cooksville Creek and Helen Molasy Trail along with the associated natural resources to identify existing problems, potential risks, and opportunities for watercourse restoration and drainage improvements.

Through the Class EA process, various alternative solutions were developed and evaluated by the Study Team with input through public and agency consultation. The preferred watercourse erosion control strategy includes extended channel restoration works through the use of vegetated buttress bank protection treatment with embedded armourstone retaining walls. The preferred drainage restoration strategy includes the hybrid drainage solution involving the replacement and enhancement of the drainage infrastructure associated with the Helen Molasy Trail.

A Project File Report (PFR) documenting the planning process has been prepared and will be available for a comment period between February 24th 2025 and March 28th 2025 on the City’s project webpage:
https://www.mississauga.ca/projects-and-strategies/environmental-assessments/cooksville-creek-erosion-control-south-of-lakeshore-road/

SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION NOTICE – 104 Eaglewood Blvd. – Monday, February 24th, 9:00am to 5:00pm

By Resources, Ward 1

The Peel Region Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.

Your water will be turned off on Monday, February 24th, 9:00am to 5:00pm. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.

Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption

As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:

  • Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may affect internal systems that rely on water such as boilers, fire suppression, and alarms.
  • Notify the fire alarm company if the interruption could affect an alarm system.
  • Have a fire watch completed during the water interruption, as the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function when the water supply is shut off.

After the water interruption

When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor, and finishing on the top floor). You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds. Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.

Important note

After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking the water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:

  • 905-791-7800 extension 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
  • 905-791-7800 extension 4409 (after hours or statutory holidays)

CONSTRUCTION WORK STARTING IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD Sanitary Sewer Relining Project 23-2300E1 Mississauga: Byngmount Ave, Campobello Rd, Curzon Ave, Michaud Ave, Montbeck Cres, Omeath Crt and Wharton Glen Ave

By Resources, Ward 1

Peel Region will be working in your neighbourhood to rehabilitate the existing sanitary sewer system on Byngmount Ave, Campobello Rd, Curzon Ave, Michaud Ave, Montbeck Cres, Omeath Crt and Wharton Glen Ave. Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a water resource recovery facility. Wastewater is created when water is flushed down the toilet, or goes down the drain in your sink, tub, or shower.

To extend the service life of the sewer under your street, Peel Region’s contractors will clean the existing sewer pipe and place a new resin (plastic) lining within it. This work will be completed underground with specialized equipment and will not require digging trenches in your community.

Construction schedule
We expect to conduct this work in your neighborhood between February 20 – March 31, 2025.

Contractor and working hours
The work will be completed by Capital Sewers Services Inc., supported by Andrews Engineer under contract to Peel Region. This contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but shorter working days would require this work to affect your community over a longer period of time.

Wastewater service interruptions
To complete this work, your wastewater service pipe will be out of service (plugged) for approximately 8- 10 hours. (Wastewater service pipes carry wastewater from your home or business to the underground sanitary sewer system.) This temporary service interruption allows for the pipe to be repaired without digging up the street. To advise you of the exact date and time of this service interruption, Capital Sewers Services Inc will provide you with a second notice at least 24 hours before the lining process begins.

It is important to minimize your water use while the sewer work is underway:
• You may continue to wash your hands but minimize your water use.
• Do not use showers, bathtubs, dishwashers, or your washing machine.
• Keep toilet flushing to a bare minimum.

These actions will reduce the possibility of wastewater (also known as sewage) backing up into your basement or into your plumbing. If you have a sump pump, please notify us at construction@peelregion.ca or tell the contractor when they arrive at your property.

Odours
You may smell some odours while the synthetic resin inside the sewer cures. These odours are temporary and will dissipate within a few hours. You can prevent or minimize these odours by making sure you have water in all of your drains, including your basement floor drain. We recommend pouring a bucket of water down the floor drain and running the water in all sinks, showers, and tubs for a minute, either the evening before or day of the relining work. If you are not able to put water down your floor drain (for example, if it is currently covered by flooring), we strongly recommend making it accessible before relining work begins to reduce the level of odours in your home or business.

Traffic and parking
This work will be phased to minimize disruption to traffic. At least one lane will be open in each direction during this work. On-street parking will be reduced when we are actively working on your street. Residents will have access to their homes. Access to businesses will be maintained.

Sign up for email notices
Receive timely project updates right to your inbox by signing up for e-notices. Visit peelregion.ca/construction/signup to start signing up.

Safety during construction
Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible. To learn more about how to stay safe in construction zones, visit peelregion.ca/workzonesafety

Information on this project can also be found at peelregion.ca/construction/project-23-2300E1

Thank you for your patience as we complete this necessary work. This work will allow us to continue providing you with high quality wastewater services.

Unlocking Mississauga’s past this Heritage Week

By Events, Resources

Showcasing heritage across Ontario from February 17 to 23, 2025

February 19, 2025

This week marks Heritage Week – a time to celebrate and showcase heritage in all its forms, including its influence on diverse traditions and cultural expressions across our city and province.

Throughout the week and beyond, the City of Mississauga invites the community to learn and reflect on how heritage is conserved, promoted and commemorated within our City, and how current programming helps to preserve our past and shape the future.

Heritage in Mississauga

Mississauga is dedicated to conserving the history of our city and takes pride in the past. Home to more than 500 designated heritage properties city-wide, these unique places are located in three Heritage Conservation Districts: Port Credit, Meadowvale and Streetsville – nestled between houses and buildings across various neighbourhoods, each telling the stories of our city’s past.

Additionally, Mississauga has more than 600 registered archaeological sites, some of which date back 10,000 years ago and our Museums are home to 25,000 unique artifacts.

Heritage properties

Built resources, such as historic houses, bridges, conservation districts, cultural heritage landscapes and archaeological resources, are considered to be heritage properties. The Ontario Heritage Act defines how a heritage property is identified, designated, protected and conserved. When heritage approval is required for any property alterations within Mississauga, important steps are required in order to preserve the property’s historical landscape. Learn how to apply and what funding is available.

Designated Heritage Property Grant

Own or recently purchased a heritage property? Owners can apply for funding to support the conservation, repair or restoration of a designated heritage property. Projects must show how they are using best practices to protect and conserve the heritage property. Learn more 

Take part in Heritage Week programming

SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY TEST SHUTDOWN – 172 Angelene St – Tuesday, February 18th, from 12:00pm to 02:00pm

By Resources, Ward 1

The Region of Peel Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we work on the system or conduct tests.

On Tuesday, February 18th, from 12:00pm to 02:00pm, please expect a brief water outage and loss of water pressure while we work in your area.  If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.

Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption

As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:

  • Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may affect internal systems that rely on water such as boilers, fire suppression, and alarms.
  • Notify the fire alarm company if the interruption could affect an alarm system.
  • Have a fire watch completed during the water interruption, as the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function when the water supply is shut off.

After the test shutdown

When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor, and finishing on the top floor). You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds. Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.

Important note

After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking the water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:

Choose Canada When you buy Canadian, you support your family, your community, and your country. Keep us strong, one product at a time.

By Announcement, Food for thought, Issues
In recent weeks, Canada has faced threats from the United States about placing tariffs on Canadian goods, with the United States announcing plans to implement a 25% tariff on all Canadian aluminium and steel products starting March 12, 2025. There are also ongoing discussions about the potential for additional tariffs to be implemented soon after.In response, Canadian governments at all levels, including the City of Mississauga, are encouraging everyone to come together and put Canada first. Buying Canadian where posssible and supporting local businesses keeps our country strong and united against these external threats.

Statement from Mayor Carolyn Parrish on U.S. Tariffs

How you can help

When you direct the money you already spend on food and supplies to Canadian products and businesses, you help build resilience in our community for adapting to an uncertain future.  

Wherever possible, choosing products made or produced in Canada, and sold by Canadians, supports your local and country-wide economy during these turbulent times and harmful tariffs.

  • Buy products with a Made in Canada or Product of Canada label 
  • Shop at local Canadian-owned businesses 
  • Get your supplies from Canadian suppliers 
  • Choose to vacation in Canada 

What the labels mean

According to Competition Bureau Canada:

  • Product of Canada: At least 98% of the product contains Canadian ingredients and materials 
  • Made in Canada: At least 51% of the product is made in Canada in our factories and businesses  

Invest in Mississauga, Ontario and Canada
