This morning at Regional Council I seconded a motion on waste collection. In order to deter dumping, residents will now have the opportunity to leave out up to 2 extra bags of garbage on their regular garbage week with no tags required. This does not mean you can use tags as well on extra bags. It is removal of the use of tags. You still have a maximum of 2 bags being put out.
This starts on the week of April 20. In addition we will be accepting waste drop off at the Community Recycling Centres with no fee. This will reduce any interaction with staff. Procedures to maintain distance will be in place. This is not a complete unlimited collection as was previously discussed and recommended against by staff. It is restricted to a maximum of 2 bags and no bulky items

COVID-19 | April 8, 2020
The City of Mississauga is taking additional precautionary measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic by cancelling all events and spring programs (registered and drop-in) up to July 3. This includes City-led events and events organized by external groups that require a City permit – whether at Mississauga Celebration Square, parks or other City facilities, which remain closed. At this time, no new permits will be issued.
“While our festivals and events showcase the best of Mississauga and are usually the highlight of my summer, tackling the spread of COVID-19 and keeping our City healthy is our primary focus right now,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “I look forward to showcasing Mississauga’s vibrant and diverse cultural heritage with the world once it’s safe again for large crowds to gather. In the meantime, we will continue to find ways to celebrate everything that makes Mississauga shine.”
Additionally, community and cultural groups receiving approved grant funding will continue to receive them, as this will assist with business continuity and to move forward post COVID-19. However, organizations will be required to confirm the impact that COVID-19 is having on their organization and actions that will be taken. The City will also work with event organizers to mitigate the impact of event and program cancellations and determine future event dates, if possible.
Approximately 368 events and gatherings taking place in City facilities and parks are impacted including six Canada Day events, sports tournaments, Mississauga Marathon, Carassauga, Mississauga Waterfront Festival and more.
The City will continue to reassess the situation and determine if cancellations will go beyond the July 3 date, based on consultations with Peel Public Health and the Province’s ban of social gatherings.

COVID-19 | April 8, 2020
“As this crisis continues to unfold, we have been clear that we will continue to engage and listen to the needs of our community and cultural partners, residents and businesses, to best support them during these challenging times,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “These additional actions reflect our commitment to keeping Mississauga healthy while providing much-needed relief and certainty for our community partners. We will continue to act and respond while planning responsibly for our City’s future.”
Today, City of Mississauga Council considered a report from City staff that describes the impacts of COVID-19 on the City’s financial position. The City’s financial position is significantly different from the budget approved on January 22, 2020. The biggest impact on City finances comes from lost revenues due primarily to a reduction in recreation fees and transit fares. This loss is offset by some cost savings due to reduced levels of service and temporary layoffs. The preliminary forecast of the impact of COVID-19 is an operating deficit of $43.4 million (April) to $59.1 million (June).
The report recommends requesting provincial and federal government support to offer municipalities. Staff is continuing to monitor the situation and identify options to offset the deficit. The size of the 2020 deficit, the state of the economy and the financial position of the City’s residents and businesses will inform strategies and actions to be considered. 2021 Budget discussions will be launched at Budget Committee on June 24, 2020.

COVID-19 | April 8, 2020
Today, City of Mississauga Council considered a report from City staff that describes the impacts of COVID-19 on the City’s financial position.
“COVID-19 is taking an unprecedented toll on our economy and on our City’s finances,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “The closure of our facilities, cancellation of recreation programming and reduction in transit ridership, has resulted in significant revenue losses. Our immediate priority is the health of our residents but we must also start looking to the future and planning for recovery. Cities are not in the position to run deficits and our primary source of revenue is the property tax. That’s why we are asking for support from our provincial and federal partners to weather this storm in the months ahead. We will continue to act in the best interests of our taxpayers while ensuring Mississauga remains one of the best-run cities in the world.”
City’s Current Financial Position
City’s Projected Financial Position
“The COVID-19 pandemic is the greatest health and financial challenge that we have seen in generations. The economic impact on Mississauga families and businesses will be devastating for many. Our City budget is not immune to the effects of this crisis,” said Janice Baker, City Manager and Chief Administrative Officer. “Lost revenues combined with ongoing costs will lead to a deficit in 2020. We continue to work with every area of the Corporation to identify areas where costs can be avoided. We can’t predict the end of this crisis, which makes it very difficult to accurately forecast the full financial impact. Needless to say, financial assistance will be required from the provincial and federal governments.”
The report recommends requesting provincial and federal government support to offer municipalities:
Staff are continuing to monitor the situation and identify options to offset the deficit. The size of the 2020 deficit, the state of the economy and the financial position of the City’s residents and businesses will inform strategies and actions to be considered. 2021 Budget discussions will be launched at Budget Committee on June 24, 2020.
