The existing trail is in poor condition and is due for lifecycle replacement and will also be upgraded to 3.0m wide where possible to meet our current trail standard. We anticipate completion of this work within three (3) weeks pending weather. Staff will be posting “Notice of Service Disruption” at all the access locations for resident awareness. Should you have any questions or concerns please contact me.

In an effort to remove and prevent barriers for persons with disabilities, the City is making Mississauga’s waterfront more inclusive and accessible for all with the Accessible Beach Routes pilot project. Accessible Beach Routes will roll out at Lakefront Promenade and Jack Darling Memorial Park on July 1, 2019, weather permitting.
Accessible beach mats provide a nonslip, accessible surface and allows individuals with mobility aids, such as wheelchairs and walkers, older adults and parents with strollers, easier to access to the beach.
Parks Operations staff will install the mats and directional signage at both park locations. The mats are secured in place with pins, allowing for easy maintenance without requiring the mats to be removed or the facility closed for an extended period of time. The beach access route will remain in place for the season and the mats will be removed annually in the fall and over winter.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Information regarding the City of Mississauga Goose program: Along the Waterfront, the City of Mississauga has a program called Goose Roundup. It’s an annual collection of geese in Mississauga and Oakville. Working alongside Canadian Wildlife Services, the geese are collected and released at Jack Miner’s Foundation Sanctuary, where the geese enjoy their lives in a protected environment.
The City frequently sweeps the turf areas and pathways, primarily in Port Credit Memorial Park, JJ Plaus and Credit Village Marina. We also bring a contractor in to power wash the railings along Credit Village Marina when droppings get excessive.
Parks staff also utilize backpack blowers and pressure washers in many of our waterfront parks to deal with goose droppings- especially along pathways and in picnic shelters.

Sign up for your opportunity during your lunch break to try out a Bosch eBike during this pilot project. The eBikes can run on electric power as well as by pedaling, and will be available from June 10 to June 14 from noon to 2 p.m. The motor can shore up your pedaling as needed and can make it easier to go uphill or ride for long distances.
This eBike trial is open only to City of Mississauga employees and not for members of the public. The eBikes will be located at the northwest corner of Princess Royal Drive and Living Arts Drive.
Take advantage of this opportunity by registering online and signing a waiver prior to your session. Spaces are limited! You will also need to bring your own helmet in order to participate.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Walter Edward Ward on Thursday May 30, 2019 in his 96th year. Beloved husband of Marjorie for 74 wonderful years. Loving father of Susan Denyer (John), Stephen Ward and Julie Sinclair (Thane). Cherished Grandfather of Graham, Laura, Adam, Emma, Blakely and Alice. Loved uncle of Janice and Frank Ward. Wally will be remembered for his WW2 service as a typhoon fighter pilot receiving the Legion of Honour for completing 100 missions. His career with the Peel Board of Education as the principal of Gordon Graydon Secondary School, founder of INDEC Alternative School and the director of Continuing Education has enriched the lives of young people and has given him immense pleasure over the years. In his community, Wally has received awards for citizenship in Mississauga, and has headed committees that provide services and language learning for adults and new Canadians. Friends and family will remember Wally as living his life with enthusiasm and showing great interest in all those around him. For this reason he has been blessed with the richness of many friendships throughout his life.
