I am very pleased to introduce and cut the ribbon for a water bottle filling station and a fillable water bowl for dogs in Westacres Park. This project was possible as the result of Federal Gas Tax funds to the City.
Thanks to the students at Westacres Public School in their leadership to reduce single use plastic water bottles, the Applewood Acres Homeowners Association’s help and collaboration, and a special thanks to City Staff and Ashley who was on hand today.
The water will be turned on in the early Spring.

SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION
Dear Customer:
The Region of Peel Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a reliable supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do the work. In the next few days, we will be working in your area and will have to turn off your water for a few hours.
Your water will be turned off on Monday, January 11, 2021 from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. However, if the weather is bad or if a problem arises, we will reschedule the work and will let you know the new date and time.
When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. If this happens, you can remove the air by briefly 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 should only have to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds, but keep running it until the water is clear and any vibration or noise has stopped.
If your water meter starts to leak, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:
- (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
- (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 4409 (After hours or Statutory Holidays)

Mayor Bonnie Crombie will share a special video address to Mississauga residents as part of the Mayor’s annual New Year’s Levee tradition. The Mayor’s Levee is typically a time when residents have the opportunity to meet the Mayor and Members of Council for a family-friendly event at the Civic Centre; however, this year’s Levee is being delivered virtually.
Mayor Crombie’s New Year’s greetings to residents and Council’s best wishes for the upcoming year will be available online on Sunday, January 10, 2021 at noon on the City’s YouTube channel.
What:
2021 Mayor’s New Year’s Levee – Video Ceremony
Video Ceremony:
Sunday, January 10, 2021 at noon
Where:
City of Mississauga’s YouTube channel
Background
The Mayor’s Levee is a tradition that dates back to the 17th century, during the reign of King Louis XIV. To show the monarch belonged to the people, the King would invite gentlemen to his bedroom on New Year’s Day to watch him wake up and begin serving the public. The Royal Governor of New France later brought this custom to Canada where it continues to be a new year’s tradition.
