Upcoming GO Service Changes

By Announcement, Resources, Transit

Metrolinx regularly reviews and adjusts GO Transit schedules throughout the year to ensure that services meet the needs of customers and that resources are being used where they are most needed.

Starting on Saturday, January 4, we’re making some improvements to a bus routes due to increased demand:

  • On route 29, we’re adding two new weekday westbound trips. New trips will depart Square One at 7:35 a.m. and 8:20 a.m.
  • On route 47, we’re adding one new weekday eastbound trip. The new trip will depart McMaster University at 9:45 p.m.
  • On route 56, we’re extending one weekday eastbound trip. The weekday eastbound 4 p.m. trip from Oakville GO will now also serve Richmond Hill Centre and Unionville GO.

Also, starting January 4, seasonal post-secondary GO bus services will return for the season:

  • Trips return on routes 25, 29, 41, 47, 52, and 56.
  • Services reduced for the holiday season on routes 27, 31, and 36 also return starting January 4.

In addition, we’re making slight adjustments to schedules to better reflect travel times and improve connections to updated train trips. Some trips may depart up to 10 minutes earlier or later, including changes on Routes 25, 32, 36, 41, 56, and 94. Please be sure to check schedules before you travel.

We encourage everyone to plan ahead and check the schedules, and they can also visit Triplinx.ca to explore travel options with local transit agencies connecting to GO Transit.

Approval of Etobicoke Creek Watershed Plan 2024-2034

By Planning & Development, Resources

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
(TRCA) is pleased to announce that the Etobicoke Creek Watershed Plan (ECWP) 2024-2034 was approved by TRCA’s Board of Directors on November 22, 2024, and implementation of the watershed plan will now begin.

Prior to approval by TRCA’s Board of Directors, the ECWP was adopted / endorsed by partner municipalities within the watershed including the City of Toronto, Region of Peel, City of Mississauga,
City of Brampton, and Town of Caledon.

The development of the ECWP was a collaborative effort between these partner municipalities, TRCA, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. Additional First Nations and Indigenous communities as well as stakeholders and members of the public were engaged throughout the process.

The new watershed plan outlines current and potential future watershed conditions and identifies the
priority actions needed to protect, enhance, and restore the health of the Etobicoke Creek watershed
and improve community well-being over the long-term. The actions in the plan will also help to build
resiliency to land use and climate changes and inform decision making in the watershed.

The ECWP will be in effect for 10 years from 2024-2034. A comprehensive, coordinated, and collaborative approach to implementing, tracking, and reporting on all aspects of the watershed plan will be essential to fully realise the vision for the watershed. An Implementation Steering Committee consisting of the same partners noted above will be established in 2025 to guide and support implementation. We will work together to achieve the shared commitments outlined in the plan and to demonstrate accountability towards improving watershed health and building safer communities.

More information about the ECWP can be found on the project webpage including an ECWP Factsheet,
the online interactive ECWP, an ECWP highlights video, and the Engagement Summary documents (which outline engagement activities that took place throughout the watershed planning process). As ECWP implementation progresses, regular updates will be provided on the project webpage.
If you have any questions about the ECWP or its implementation, please email us at etobicoke@trca.ca

Water Interruption Notice – C-603946, 897 The Greenway, Mississauga, Friday December 20

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 Friday December 20th, 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)

City of Mississauga ready to assume key Region of Peel services

By Announcement, Resources

Government of Ontario announces changes about streamlining of regional services

December 12, 2024

Today, the Government of Ontario announced that key regional services in Peel Region will be transferred to the City of Mississauga. Starting July 1, 2026, the City will assume responsibility for the following services within Mississauga:

  • Solid waste collection, including responsibility for the two Community Recycling Centres located in Mississauga
  • Regional roads and associated stormwater infrastructure

This comes as the Ontario government seeks to empower to streamline municipal operations and improve service delivery, and build more housing.

Solid waste collection

Mississauga will now handle solid waste collection and two community recycling centres (Battleford Community Recycling Centre, 2255 Battleford Rd., Mississauga and Fewster Community Recycling Centre, 1126 Fewster Dr., Mississauga), which include disposal for recyclable and reusable items, household hazardous waste, and other waste products.

Roads

The City of Mississauga currently maintains 5,700 kilometres of roads. With the transition of Regional roads, the City will now maintain all roads within its boundaries. This change will create clarity for residents and streamline the maintenance of these roadways, saving taxpayers money.

Planning

With oversight of land-use planning, Mississauga will now make its own decisions about how land is used. This means Ontario’s third largest municipality can better plan for its growth and development to fit local needs. This change is already in effect as of July 1, 2024.

The City is committed to ensuring a seamless transfer of these critical services from Peel Region. Residents and businesses will receive detailed information in the coming months about how these changes will affect their daily lives, with regular updates provided throughout the transition period.

“Mississauga is ready. The transfer of these essential services to the municipal level is a significant step forward for Mississauga allowing us to oversee our own budgets and our own services. As a City, we can now manage these services alongside other areas of our business streamlining operations. While I welcome these new services, there is still a lot of discussions to take place, working through the operational and budgetary aspects that come with adding these new services.” – Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish

“These changes are significant for Mississauga, enabling us to better serve our growing population through increased control over essential services. Our commitment is to maintain high-quality services for both residents and businesses. Our objective is to limit any disruptions in these services as we transition responsibilities from the Region to the City.” – Geoff Wright, City Manager and Chief Administrative Officer
