By Covid-19, Events, Issues

The Government of Ontario announced a Provincewide shutdown to take effect on December 26, 2020 and remain in effect in Southern Ontario, including the Region of Peel until January 23, 2021. Prior to December 26, Mississauga remains in the Grey-Lockdown Level of the current COVID-19 Response Framework which will be paused when the Provincewide shutdown comes into effect.

In consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health and other health experts, the Provincewide shutdown comes as COVID-19 cases continue to rise at an alarming rate. Additional restrictions will be put into place and reinforce that Ontarians should stay at home as much as possible to minimize transmission of the virus and prevent hospitals from becoming overwhelmed.

Mississauga Library is one of 75 public library systems worldwide on track to surpass one million checkouts by the end of this year.

Be Safe When On the Road This Holiday Season

By Events, Issues

December 17, 2020

The City of Mississauga is reminding all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, micro-mobility users and drivers, to be safe this holiday season. As many gear up for the holidays, streets, sidewalks, trails, cycling paths and intersections will be busier as many people are distracted with to-do lists, errands and outdoor activities.

“While the hustle and bustle is going to look different this holiday season, with many of us staying home and following COVID-19 guidelines, road users are still travelling throughout Mississauga to get to work, run errands and volunteer their time,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “Over the course of the holidays, we need to work together to prevent collisions on our roads, as no loss of life is acceptable. No matter what time of the year, our goal is to achieve safety for all road users.” Read More

Update on Proposed Dixie Plan Project

By Events, Issues, Planning & Development

I would like to clarify the status of this proposed development.

I was approached by the two owners of Dixie Mall, Slate Group and Choice REIT as they indicated they had recently purchased the property and were looking into the future with regards to redevelopment.

At the time I indicated to them that they would be best served to have an introduction and collaborative approach with the community.  They initiated this by hosting an introduction and a visioning session at Dixie Mall just over a year ago and since then, a survey website has been hosted by them to take in community comments and thoughts.

I asked that they reach out to the Ward’s Ratepayer Presidents as they wanted to initiate a series of dialogues, introduce themselves, and show what they wanted to submit to the City.  Each Ratepayer President agreed to be contacted by the Slate/Choice Group, and they set up virtual calls with each association which I attend as a guest.

Typically public meetings, for the community to provide input, usually occur once the application has been submitted.  At this point, there has been NO application received by the City.

Once an application is received, it will be reviewed by a number of City Departments; public meetings will take place where the entire community will have the opportunity to be engaged.

I have been recording all comments the community has provided my office and also the messages from the Ratepayer engagement virtual calls.  I will ensure that all of these comments will be delivered to the Planning Department at the City.

I expect complete transparency on this and all developments in the Ward.

Thank you,

Stephen
