Canada HomeShare has launched a pilot program in Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon. Run by the National Initiative for the Care of the Elderly (NICE) with support from the Region of Peel, Peel HomeShare matches older adults who have a spare room with post-secondary students who need housing. Students pay $400-$600 a month for rent and contribute 5-7 hours/week of companionship and/or assistance around the home.
Applications for home providers and students are now being accepted for the January 2022 school term. The entire process, from application to finding an appropriate home share match, is carefully overseen by NICE social workers in accordance with all COVID-19 protocols.

-
- An aquatic centre (6 lane, 25 meter lap pool and therapeutic tank) with spectacular views of the woodlot
- An equipment based fitness centre on the 2ndfloor
- New multi-purpose space on the ground level
- Enhancements to existing multi-purpose spaces to improve social and recreation opportunities for the community
- Renovations to areas of the indoor arena
- Facility design modernization and improved accessibility within the building
- The removal of the internal bus loop and introduction of the new bus shelter and stop on Cawthra Road will ensure increased pedestrian safety on the site, which will have covered walkways
- Collaboration between City departments continues to take place to ensure the City’s Green Building Standards are integrated into the development.
- Note:
- The Seniors’ Centre will remain open throughout construction
- The Cawthra Secondary School Pool will remain open during construction and close once the community centre re-opens
Schedule
- The design portion of the project is on schedule, with preliminary construction to start mid 2022 and re-opening targeted for mid 2024.
- The Site Plan application has been circulated to the City’s Planning and Building department and external agencies for review;
- The project team is preparing to present to the City’s FADS and CPTED subcommittees to ensure the design is optimized to achieve these important City targets;
Public Engagement
