Rats are a common pest in large urban centres that can cause damage by gnawing and burrowing.
To support Region of Peel residents, the Region has extended the Residential Rat Control Subsidy Pilot Program to assist homeowners with the costs of controlling rats on the exterior of their residential properties.
The pilot program will now be available until November 30, 2022, and will reimburse eligible homeowners for 50 per cent of the cost in hiring a Region of Peel approved pest control vendor, up to a maximum of $200 per calendar year, per residential Peel address. Read More

Now that spring is here, it’s time to get active outside. The City of Mississauga’s Road Safety Committee and Traffic Safety Council are launching the Let’s Move, Mississauga online event during the month of April.
Whether you live, work or study in Mississauga, get outside and move using an active form of transportation, while staying safe and following the rules of the road. Active transportation includes walking, rollerblading or travelling by bike, scooter, skateboard, wheelchair or other mobility devices. Consider swapping the car with a mode of active transportation for getting to every day destinations like work, school, the grocery store or the bus stop. Not only will it help you stay healthy, it also creates safer streets, reduces traffic congestion and reduces carbon emissions.
Until April 30, you’re encouraged to keep track of the number of trips (the number of times you get outside and are active) you take and download the digital certificate to share your accomplishment on social media using the hashtag #LetsMoveSauga. Read More

The City’s Forestry Section is looking for resident volunteers for its Garlic Mustard Task Force to help steward local natural areas by removing the invasive Garlic Mustard plant is an invasive species that was brought to North America as a food source and for herbal medicine.
In natural areas, Garlic Mustard outperforms native species by crowding out and displacing native plants such as Trillium flowers.
The City is currently taking measures to reduce the Garlic Mustard population in Mississauga, but since it can double in size in four years time, the recruitment of interested volunteers is needed to help fight against the growth of Garlic Mustard.
Task Force volunteers will receive training, supplies and be assigned a designated park or natural area near their homes to complete a series of Garlic Mustard removal pulls during the spring each year.
If you’re interested in joining the Garlic Mustard Task Force, please register on the City s Better Impact Volunteer Portal. If you have any questions about the program, please contact 311 or 905 615 4311 from outside Mississauga city limits.
