The City of Mississauga’s Budget Committee has approved the 2024 schedule for fees and charges, including the City’s Stormwater charge, which was recently revised. The City charges user fees for various services like transit, room and ice rentals, as well as recreation and culture programs. Fees and charges help to recover costs for services or activities that the City provides.
“User fees and charges play an important role in helping the City generate revenue to offset costs in other areas,” said Marisa Chiu, Director, Finance and Treasurer. “While most services are covered through the collection of property taxes, user fees and charges are charged to those who benefit directly from a program or service. Price recommendations are based on cost recovery, participation rates, the availability of affordable offerings, service sustainability, customer feedback and market conditions.”
All fees and charges are reviewed by staff during the annual budget process. The City completed an internal review and evaluated its fees and charges for 2024. Several corporate reports on the proposed changes were received and approved by the Budget Committee yesterday. Some of the proposed fees and changes include:
Chiu added, “The recommendations to change fees and charges are based on factors like market conditions, demand for service, cost of delivery, and inflation. Price increases are recommended for programs and lines of business that can absorb the increase without negatively affecting participation or revenue.”
The Fees and Charges By-law, approved by Council, identifies the rates and fees proposed for specific City services, programs and activities. The 2024 Fees and Charges schedule is set to be implemented as of January 1, 2024 (with some exceptions to align with business areas).
Final approval for all fees and charges will be made at Council on Wednesday, October 11, 2023.
The next Budget Committee meeting is scheduled for Monday, November 27, 2023, at 9:30 a.m., and is open for the public to attend. The full schedule of meetings is available online at Council and Committees Calendar Listings.

Did you know that almost 50 per cent of garbage sent to landfill can be reused, repurposed or upcycled? October is Circular Economy Month. In a circular economy model, nothing is wasted. Products and materials are reused, repaired, refurbished, repurposed or recycled. This can include items like clothing with rips, electronics that can be repaired or glass jars that can be recycled or reused for storing items or are great as flower vases.
Residential waste is diverted from landfills through recycling, green bin, yard waste and other diversion initiatives. However, we all need to work together to reduce, upcycle and repurpose items to further help divert waste from landfill, help conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions in Mississauga.
In addition to Circular Economy Month, the City is also celebrating Waste Reduction Week. From October 10 to 22, join us at various events to practise waste reduction by donating clothing or by learning to sew at a Makerspace.
The City is again participating in the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s Partners in Project Green’s collection drive for clothing, textiles and electronics. From October 10 to 22, you can drop off unwanted clothing, textiles and electronics in bins located at various City facilities.
You can donate things like hats, bags, belts, ties, footwear, bedding, pillows, linens, curtains and sleeping bags. Electronics will be collected in a separate bin and accepted items include laptops, computers, printers, keyboards, mice, and handheld devices. All clothing items will be donated to Diabetes Canada and all electronics will be recycled by Electronic Recycling Association.
Drop-off locations include:
Looking to learn how to repair your clothes? Using one of the Library’s handicraft programs at Burnhamthorpe Library, Courtneypark Library, Meadowvale Library and Woodlands Library, you can learn how to sew by hand or with a sewing machine to avoid purchasing new products.
All Mississauga residents interested in learning more about repurposing, upcycling and waste reduction.
Events take place throughout October.
All events are in-person at various locations in Mississauga.
Have experience in repairing bikes, household items, appliances, jewellery, electronics or clothing?

The Region of Peel Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.
Your water will be turned off on Tuesday, October 10th from approximately 1:00am to 4:00 am. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.
If this interruption may affect an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them. During the time that the water supply is interrupted, the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function. A fire watch should be performed as necessary during time period.
After the water interruption:
When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor and finishing on the top floor). Flush the toilets as well. You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds. Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.

Peel Region will be temporary closing South Sheridan Way from Southdown Road to Indian Road starting the week of October 2, 2023, to replace a watermain.
As a major east-west arterial road in Mississauga, the road closure will increase travel times. Motorists should consider alternate routes.
The replacement is expected to be completed into the winter 2024. Average construction noise is expected. There will be no impact to drinking water for the community.
Follow @peelpublicworks for information and updates.
Starting Monday, Oct. 23, there will be MiWay service changes that include service improvements and reductions based on customer demand, and updated schedules on several routes to improve service reliability based on increased traffic volumes.
MiWay ridership is at an all-time high and this growth continues to put pressure on the transit network capacity. MiWay continues to adjust routes and service frequencies to ensure that services remain responsive to evolving customer demand based on the resources available.
Saturday service resumes on Route 101 Dundas Express
To provide additional service capacity along the Dundas corridor, the Route 101 Dundas Express will resume Saturday service and operate every 21 minutes throughout the day. This increase in service is due to consistently high customer demand on Route 1 Dundas on weekends.
Service improvements due to increasing customer demand
The routes below will provide more frequent service based on ridership growth:
Service reductions due to low customer demand
MiWay is reducing service on the routes below due to low ridership and reinvesting the savings back into busier routes to address overcrowding and reliability issues for customers.
Schedule adjustments
Schedules will be updated on various routes to improve service reliability (a complete list of routes will be available on miway.ca).
Learn more about these service changes and the MiWay 5 service plan benefits at miway.ca.
