SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION NOTICE – 1160 Mona Road – Thursday, March 27th, from 9:00am to 5:00pm

By Resources, Ward 1

The Peel Region 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 Thursday, March 27th, from 9:00am to 5:00pm. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.

Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption

As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:

  • Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may affect internal systems that rely on water such as boilers, fire suppression, and alarms.
  • Notify the fire alarm company if the interruption could affect an alarm system.
  • Have a fire watch completed during the water interruption, as the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function when the water supply is shut off.

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). 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.

Important note

After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking the water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:

  • 905-791-7800 extension 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
  • 905-791-7800 extension 4409 (after hours or statutory holidays)

Peel Regional Police Update: Launch of Youth Engagement Strategy

By Announcement, Resources, Youth

On Friday March 21st, 2025, Peel Regional Police launched a progressive and forward-thinking strategy that is aimed at shaping the service’s future engagement with youth, parents/guardians and community partners who serve youth.

Their new Youth Engagement Strategy will be carried out in consultation with community partners and youth over the coming years. This will include the creation of specific initiatives, such as establishing a youth mentorship program, providing training opportunities for PRP members to better engage with youth, and strengthening support to youth affected by hate and bias.

In 2024, a survey and focus groups were conducted to provide an independent, unbiased lens on youth safety, policing and police interaction with youth within Mississauga and Brampton. This research will help to shape the development of new programs and the refinement of existing ones.

PRP has several existing programs that bring young people and officers together in the spirit of cooperation, education and mentorship, including the Youth In Policing Initiative, the Young Women’s Mentorship Program which is aimed at empowering at-risk girls by fostering leadership skills, building confidence and providing mentorship opportunities, and the Boys to Men Program – an initiative designed to provide at-risk boys with guidance, support and positive role models.

The new strategy builds on the foundation of these and other existing programs and is designed to encourage a positive relationship between youth and police and to ensure youth feel comfortable engaging with police officers, something that ultimately supports the safety and well-being of youth and the broader community.

Please take a moment to view the Youth Engagement Strategy here.

Peel Region strengthens youth violence prevention efforts with $270,000 in grant funding

By Announcement, Resources

BRAMPTON, ON (March 20, 2025) – Peel Region is reinforcing its commitment to preventing youth violence by providing additional support to community partners through a new grant funding opportunity. An expression of interest (EOI) has been made available to community partners to fund racialized trauma, trauma-informed and violence-informed training for providers serving youth in Peel.

This initiative, totaling $270,000 in funding, will run from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, and is designed to enhance the capacity of service providers to address the complex needs of youth in our region, particularly those from vulnerable and racialized communities.

Youth violence remains a growing concern in Peel, and tackling it requires a comprehensive approach that includes investing in early intervention, to improve the well-being of young people.

This funding is part of the $7.3 million time-limited investment from Public Safety Canada’s Building Safer Communities Fund (BSCF), which has been instrumental in expanding youth violence prevention programs.  Funding in Peel has been allocated to community-based service providers to deliver critical programs and services to support youth well-being. Some examples include:

  • Deliver holistic support for racialized and at-risk youth, including mental health counseling, housing assistance, and employment services.
  • Provide 1:1 support for young men on parole, helping them access education, employment, and psychological care.
  • Connect young women at risk of gang involvement with positive role models and life-skills support.
  • Expand access to arts, sports, and recreational programs to help youth develop positive peer relationships.
  • Offer life skills training and mentorship opportunities in schools and the community.

This ongoing collaboration with community partners has led to meaningful improvements to critical services for at-risk youth, including strengthened engagement with more young people and providing service providers with the necessary tools to support them effectively.

This latest training initiative is informed by needs and opportunities identified through Peel Region’s partnership with community organizations and through the ongoing collaborative development of the Youth Violence Prevention (YVP) strategy.

“This funding opportunity shows the power of collaboration between Peel Region and our dedicated community partners. By listening to and learning from the needs of local youth, we are co-creating a more inclusive, responsive, and effective approach to youth violence prevention. Together, we are building stronger, safer communities for and with young people in Peel.

Reminder: Tax Season and Housing Benefits

By Announcement, Resources

 Mississauga Community Legal Services (MCLS) is reminding residents who are receiving housing benefits from the Region of Peel, such as the Rent Geared to Income (RGI) program, that tax season is upon us.

As you may know, the Region of Peel offers free tax clinics to help residents file their taxes. These clinics are staffed by trained volunteers who can provide assistance with a variety of tax-related issues, including claiming the Ontario Trillium Benefit and the GST/HST credit.

This hopefully will help ensure that residents who are receiving housing benefits are aware of this valuable resource and help to avoid preventable issues that can snowball from minor errors to cumbersome, lengthy legal matters.

Annual reviews for housing benefits are mailed out at the end of the year. These reviews are important to ensure that residents are receiving the correct amount of assistance and having a copy of the CRA Notice of Assessment is necessary, see for example: https://peelregion.ca/sites/default/files/2024-04/tenant-annual-review-for-rent.pdf.

If residents have any questions about their taxes or their annual reviews, they can contact MCLS at 905-896-2052 or online at: https://www.mississaugalegalclinic.ca/contact-us/.

Project # 24-2458 – Lakeshore Rd East Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation – Project Update

By Construction, Resources, Ward 1

Works at the south-side of the Lakeshore Rd. E. and Haig intersection, which include the excavation and rehabilitation of the maintenance hole structure, are set to commence beginning Monday March 31, 2025.

As this maintenance hole is located off the roadway, nearby to the multi-use pathway, to ensure the safety of all workers as well as the general public, the M.U.P. is to be temporarily detoured, and protected, onto the roadway as per the attached traffic control plan drawing.

This detour is to be established beginning March 24, 2025 and is anticipated to be in-place for approximately 3 weeks.

Following completion of our works at this location, the M.U.P. along with the curb-lane will be reinstated to allow the undisturbed flow of traffic (both vehicular and pedestrian).
