Make a seed donation
The Seed Library also encourages seed donations to promote its self-sustaining model. At the end of the growing season, residents are invited to harvest their seeds and return a portion to the library.
Donations can be made at any library location, ensuring that our community continues to thrive sustainably. Please note that only open-pollinated heirloom seeds (non-hybrid, non-GMO) that are pesticide-free and less than four years old will be accepted. Open-pollinated heirloom seeds are seeds that come from plants that have been grown and saved over many generations. They are called “open-pollinated” because they are pollinated naturally by wind, insects, or other natural means, rather than by controlled methods.
Donated seeds should be clean and labelled with the seed type, year grown, and the location where they were cultivated. We urge donors not to save seeds from hybrid plants, as these will not produce true-to-type offspring.
More information
To learn more about the Seed Library launch event, the application form, or donation guidelines, please contact seed.library@mississauga.ca or visit our website at mississaugalibrary.ca/seeds. An event listing is also available on Eventbrite for those wishing to reserve a spot and receive event updates. Join us in celebrating the joy of gardening and community at the Seed Library launch event!
Councillor Dasko is happy to share another update, as promised.
Both rebates provide financial support to Mississauga residents who install water-resistant materials or other flood prevention measures within their home or on their property.
February 12, 2025
Today, the City launched two flood prevention rebates to help residents offset the cost of installing measures to limit flooding in and around their homes. These two programs offer up to a total of $10,500 in financial support for eligible Mississauga homeowners.
City rebate programs
The City has launched two rebate programs to help offset the cost of upgrades for Mississauga homeowners.
- Flood Resilience Rebate: is a City rebate program created to help those who had flood damage and installed eligible water resilient materials and other measures to make their homes more resistant to future flooding. The rebate pays for up to 50 per cent of the cost of these materials, labour and tax, up to a maximum of $3,000.
- Basement Flooding Prevention Rebate: is a City rebate program created to replace the Foundation Drain Collector Sump Pump Subsidy. This new city-wide rebate program offers up to $7,500 to pay for eligible basement flood prevention measures, such as a sump pump or downspout disconnection.
Apply for the Flood Resilience Rebate
To be eligible, you must be a registered owner of a detached home, semi-detached home, duplex or townhouse within Mississauga. To provide proof of ownership, you must provide a copy of your City tax bill. The name on the application must match the registered owner listed on the tax bill. You must have experienced flood damage on or after the July 8, 2013, storm event. Only one registered owner per residential address is eligible to receive a rebate.
Residents must complete a rebate application and submit it with a copy of their City tax bill and proof of eligibility, including:
- Proof of flooding: such as an insurance claim or photos of flooding in the residential dwelling.
- Proof of eligible work: such as receipts for purchased materials.
- Proof of payment: such as paid invoices from a contractor for completed work.
You can submit your application and supporting documentation online or by mail.
Applications will be accepted until December 31, 2025.
