The United Way Pledge Drive launches September 23, 2021 and will run until October 28, 2021.
- Despite the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic last year, City of Mississauga staff managed to raise over $100,000 for United Way Greater Toronto.
- Those donations will allow United Way to continue to invest $7.5 million in the community each month, and bring together 575 agencies to deliver 1,400 programs and initiatives, in a COVID-safe way, for people across Peel, Toronto and York Region.
- While some of us may feel that the worst of the pandemic is over, many of our friends and neighbours are still feeling its impacts deeply and face job losses, food insecurity, homelessness and more. We reached out to Mississauga’s own Vee Clarke and Avery Cartwright from the City’s Central Library’s Open Window Hub to let you know more – please watch Part 1 of our 4 part video series here or go to our United Way homepage to see all the videos.
- Every donation, no matter how small, will help us achieve this year’s campaign target of $150,000!

Invitation to Community Engagement Webinar #2 about the GTA West Highway and
Transit Corridor Environmental Assessment Study
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is in Stage 2 of the GTA West Transportation
Corridor Route Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) Study. After confirming the
Preferred Route and 2020 Focused Analysis Area on August 7, 2020 (please refer to the
enclosed key plan or view mapping at www.gta-west.com), the GTA West Project Team
commenced developing the Preferred Route to a preliminary design level of detail.
The GTA West Study is being undertaken as an Individual EA in accordance with the Ontario
EA Act and the GTA West Corridor EA Terms of Reference, which was approved by the Ontario
Minister of the Environment on March 4, 2008. On May 3, 2021, the Federal Minister of
Environment and Climate Change designated the GTA West Study under the Federal Impact
Assessment Act.
To further meet the public’s needs and address community questions, the GTA West Project
Team hosted a Community Engagement Webinar in July 2021. We are hosting a second
Community Engagement Webinar on September 29, 2021 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The
GTA West Project Team will provide the same overview of the project as was presented
in July, followed by a question & answer period. Expert panelists from a variety of
disciplines (e.g. noise, air quality, fisheries, archaeology, etc.) will be in attendance to answer
your questions.
Public and Project Team member health and safety is of utmost importance. Given the current
COVID-19 pandemic, this Webinar will be conducted as an online session hosted through the
Zoom platform. For the best experience, we encourage you to join the Webinar on Zoom
through an electronic device. If you don’t have access to an electronic device, you can listen to
the Webinar through your telephone. If you join by telephone, please submit your questions in
