Dear Resident,

Re: Ward 1 – Community Engagement Virtual Meeting 

850-1083 Rangeview Road and 830-1076 Lakeshore Road East (south side)

 

The City of Mississauga has received the submission of a Development Master Plan from Rangeview Landowners Group Inc. for the redevelopment of the Rangeview employment area.  Rangeview is located south of Lakeshore Road between East Avenue and Hydro Road in the Lakeview Community.  Rangeview Landowners Group Inc. owns 21 properties with Rangeview, representing 65% of the private landholdings in the area.

The Development Master Plan represents an overarching guiding document on how the lands should be developed.  In order to implement their plans, the applicant will need to also amend the Official Plan and rezone the property at a future date.

The Community Engagement virtual meeting I am hosting is being held to provide residents with more information and to have a discussion on the proposed development.

I have arranged a virtual Community Engagement meeting on Thursday, April 27, 2023 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. If you wish to attend and participate in the discussions, please  find the webex call in details below:

Peel’s spring battery collection is back

By Events, Ward 1

Peel Region is collecting single-use and rechargeable batteries at the curb from April 10 to 21.

Curbside battery collection happens in Peel each spring and fall, providing residents with a convenient way to safely dispose of their batteries and keep them out of landfill.

Follow these guidelines for the spring battery collection period:

  • Check your waste collection calendar online at peelregion.ca/waste to find your battery collection day.
  • Gather your used single-use and rechargeable batteries in a transparent, sealed bag.
  • On your designated battery collection day, place your battery bag on top of your closed green bin. If you don’t have a green bin, place your battery bag beside your recycling bags.
  • Special instruction only for rechargeable and 9V batteries: Tape the ends of all rechargeable and 9V batteries before disposal. Alkaline batteries do not need to be taped.

Thanks to Peel residents, we’ve collected over 179,600 kgs of batteries since the start of the program to ensure safe and responsible recycling of used batteries. Due to their hazardous materials, batteries do not belong in garbage or recycling bins.

Other tips:

  • Car batteries and sealed lead acid batteries are not accepted. Take them, free of charge, to any Peel Community Recycling Centre.
  • If you live in an apartment or condominium, check with your building property manager on how to dispose of batteries safely.

 

You can also find a drop-off location near you to safely dispose of used and old batteries throughout the year by visiting https://www.call2recycle.ca/recycleyourbatteries/.

Bringing the Lakeview Innovation District to Life

By Events, Planning & Development, Uncategorized, Ward 1

The City of Mississauga is seeking input on an incentive program that will help transform a former industrial area along the waterfront into a 20-acre innovation campus. The Lakeview Innovation District, part of the 177-acre Lakeview Village development, will become an employment hub where people can research, test and develop solutions in state-of-the-art offices, flex-offices and lab spaces.

The City is currently working on developing a Community Improvement Plan (CIP) to help bring the Innovation District to life. It could include incentives to encourage uses such as:

  • clean technology, including low carbon technology
  • life sciences, and
  • information and communications technology

Public and industry input is required to help define the types of incentives – both financial and non-financial – to help attract these uses.

“Waterfront redevelopments like Lakeview provide a unique, generational opportunity to foster innovation and spur economic growth and leading-edge technology,” said Christina Kakaflikas, Director, Mississauga Economic Development Office. “Mississauga is the second-largest employment hub in the Greater Toronto Area and the second-largest economy in Ontario. The Lakeview Innovation District will solidify our position as a major economic hub by creating thousands of highly skilled jobs in the key sectors we’re invested in growing on our waterfront.”

The City has launched a survey to take input on possible incentives including:
