Metrolinx, in collaboration with the City of Mississauga, is continuing to advance planning for the Dundas Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. The proposed Dundas BRT project would bring 48 kilometres of fast, frequent bus rapid transit along Dundas Street from Highway 6 in the City of Hamilton through to the Kipling Transit Hub in the City of Toronto, linking Etobicoke and Mississauga City Centres. More than 20 kilometres of the project would operate in bus lanes or in a dedicated right-of-way, separate from other traffic, allowing faster and more reliable transit connections.
The fourth round of public engagement will run from June 24 – July 24, 2024.
You can also participate in a virtual live session on July 10, 2024, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at metrolinx.com/DundasBRT.
The live session will feature updates from project experts and an opportunity to ask your questions.
The Dundas BRT project involves evaluating a proposed transit corridor along a 48-kilometre stretch of Dundas Street from Highway 6 in the City of Hamilton through to the Kipling Transit Hub in Toronto, linking Etobicoke and Mississauga City Centre.
Engagement on Toronto, Mississauga West, and Halton and Hamilton will continue through 2024.

About National Indigenous Peoples Day
This is a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The Canadian Constitution recognizes these three groups as Aboriginal peoples, also known as Indigenous peoples, that each have their own distinct heritage, language, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs.
In cooperation with Indigenous organizations, the Government of Canada chose June 21, the summer solstice, for National Aboriginal Day, now known as National Indigenous Peoples Day. For generations, many Indigenous peoples and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on or near this day due to the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year.
The Mississauga Library invites teens and young adults (12-24) to celebrate our city’s 50th anniversary by sharing photos that show their love for the city.
June 17, 2024
Submission Period
Applications for photo submissions are open from June 1, 2024, until August 31, 2024. This gives our young photographers ample time to capture and submit their most meaningful and artistic photographs.
Selection and Exhibition
All submitted images will be archived in the Historic Images Gallery, preserving the youth’s vision of Mississauga for future generations. The Teen Advisory Group will short-list ten submissions based on specific judging criteria. These finalists will be featured online for public voting and displayed digitally and in print at the Bradley Museum’s “Out of the Vault” 50th Anniversary Exhibition. The exhibition, running from September to December 2024, will offer attendees a unique glimpse into the city’s history and future through the lens of its younger residents.
Participation Benefits
This is a fantastic opportunity for young photographers to have their work recognized and preserved in the city’s historical archives. Additionally, it offers a platform for youth to engage with their community and meaningfully contribute to the 50th-anniversary celebrations.

Free Learn to Fish Program 2024
Last year, City of Mississauga Parks staff worked with the MNRF to deliver their Learn to Fish program in an urban centre. They had 10 pop-up sessions between Lake Aquitaine and Lakefront Promenade throughout Summer 2023. These sessions had 219 participants in total with an equal split between children and adults. The participation was higher than anticipated and MNRF was not expecting such a high percentage of adults.
As a result of the success of these 10 sessions, staff have been working with MNRF to bring the Learn to Fish program to Mississauga on a more regular basis. We are happy to announce that the program will be at Lakefront Promenade and Lake Aquitaine starting this weekend to the end of August all summer long.
The Learn to Fish program is a free program that teaches new anglers of all ages how to fish in Ontario. This fun and engaging 2–hour program combines a 1-hour practical teaching session with one hour of supervised hands-on fishing.
Sign up with your group by reaching out to Leah Silverman at parks.communitydevelopment@mississauga.ca. To sign up individually online: Learn to Fish | ontario.ca
Dates available from mid-June to the end of August at Lake Aquitaine or Lakefront Promenade.
