Today, Mayor Bonnie Crombie announced that the City of Mississauga is joining Canada United, a national movement that brings fellow Canadians together to show their support for local businesses.
Canada United is a national movement to support local businesses in communities across the country. Canadians and Mississauga residents alike are encouraged to participate in the social movement with their views, likes, shares and follows in support of small and local businesses. Every social action will result in a donation of five cents by Royal Bank of Canada toward small business recovery grant funding.
“During these challenging times, our local businesses have shown compassion, empathy, concern and charity and now it is our opportunity to give back and stand together as a country and a community,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “This is also why we launched Mississauga Made, our very own buy and shop local campaign back in June. Small businesses are essential to our economy and need our help now more than ever. I encourage everyone to stand behind our vibrant small business community and help them recover by shopping and dining locally, especially during Canada United Weekend from August 28 until August 30, 2020.”
Mississauga Made is a free online marketplace where local businesses, artists and vendors can promote their products and services. The initiative inspires residents to support and promote local products, businesses, local artists and experiences within our community.
The Mississauga Made marketplace features over 100 local listings from a variety of business categories with new listings being added daily. The easy-to-use website means residents can search to find new and local businesses in their neighbourhood. From local restaurants to nearby salons, or freelance photographers and one-of-a-kind shops – Mississauga Made is committed to bringing business and community members together to support everything local.
You can support Mississauga Made by:
- Joining the movement and +Add Your Listing to MississaugaMade.ca
- Joining the conversation online with #MississaugaMade
- Buying from local restaurants, shops and businesses
- Sharing your favourite local businesses on social media
In addition to supporting Mississauga Made, residents are encouraged to Show Up for Canada United by giving local businesses your business from August 28 until August 30, 2020.
“The Mississauga Board of Trade is a strong supporter of Canada United and Mississauga Made. These programs highlight the great businesses we have in our City and encourage all of us to shop local. We hope the people of Mississauga will do so on Canada United Weekend,” said David Wojcik, President and CEO of Mississauga Board of Trade.
Residents can also watch the Canada United videos online at GoCanadaUnited.ca, like posts from @GoCanadaUnited on social media and use #CanadaUnited to help raise funds to provide grants to local businesses.

Dear Residents:
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 they must turn off your water supply while we do the work. In the next few days, they 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 Thursday, August 27, 2020 from approximately 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 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 they 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)

Mississauga Allocated $46 million from Province of Ontario Economic Response – COVID-19
COVID-19 | August 12, 2020
Today, the Province of Ontario announced Phase 1 of funding as part of the Safe Restart Agreement between the Federal government and the Provinces and Territories.
Mississauga Allocations for Phase 1 $46.083M
- Mississauga – Phase 1 Funding – $14.997M to help municipalities respond to local priorities
- Mississauga – Phase 1 Transit Funding – $31.086M to keep the transit system running
“This is great news for our City, and I want to thank Premier Ford for being a champion for cities and for coming to the table to advocate for our needs,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “I also want to thank Prime Minister Trudeau and the Federal government for their unprecedented financial commitment. This funding will help Mississauga address the approximately $60 million deficit we face in 2020 and recognizes that a strong economic recovery requires healthy cities. COVID-19 will bring additional financial pressures to future years, and we look forward to working with the province to determine how Phase 2 funding can best support large, urban cities like Mississauga.”
The City of Mississauga is receiving a total $46.083 million in Fall 2020 as part of the Ontario Economic Response in the first round of funding through the Safe Restart Agreement.
“As a large Ontario municipality we have been advocating for funding to do the work that is needed to carry out our recovery plans and be able to deliver the key services our residents rely on,” said Paul Mitcham, City Manager and Chief Administrative Officer. “We will still face challenges as we implement our recovery, but this funding will help us continue to provide the essential services our residents and businesses need.”
The government is providing the City of Mississauga over $14 million to help respond to local priorities and $31 million in the first phase of transit funding. The transit funding will be provided through a base amount and an additional allocation based on transit ridership. The funding can be used to provide immediate relief from transit pressures, such as lower ridership, as well as for new costs due to COVID-19, such as enhanced cleaning and masks for staff. In the second phase, additional allocations will be provided based on expenses incurred to ensure the funding meets the needs of municipalities.
“This is welcome news as we continue to work on our 2021 Budget to manage the deficit from the pandemic while providing services and programs,” said Gary Kent, Commissioner of Corporate Services and Chief Financial Officer. “Staff will continue to innovate with Council and with the public being fully engaged. We look forward to reaching out to the public on our budget in the Fall to give Council the input and information they need.”
Background
The Premier will be consulting with municipal partners at Association of Municipalities of Ontario AMO conference next week. In Fall 2020, Ontario’s 444 municipalities will receive $695 million in Phase 1 funding to help address municipal operating pressures related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This funding will be allocated on a per household basis and would be shared 50/50 between upper- and lower-tier municipalities. Up to $695 million in additional funding will be available through Phase 2 to eligible municipalities after municipalities have provided the province with information on their estimated COVID-19 related financial pressures.

Next week, MiWay will offer free transit for Canadian Armed Forces veterans and their companions on Saturday, August 22 in honour of their service.
Although the Warriors’ Day Parade, held annually since 1921, was cancelled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, MiWay will continue the annual tradition of providing free transit service on the event day to recognize those who have served in the Canadian military.
“We are proud to honour our country’s veterans with complimentary transit service on August 22 to thank them for the sacrifices they have made for our country – COVID-19 doesn’t diminish everything they have done for us,” said Geoff Marinoff, Director, Transit. “Veterans are able to travel on MiWay anywhere in Mississauga to their destination for free with one companion.”
Veterans are asked to identify themselves to the transit operator by wearing their uniform, showing a medal or their Veteran’s Service Card. A companion accompanying a veteran may also ride for free.
Wearing a non-medical mask or face covering is now mandatory on MiWay under the City’s face covering by-law. Children under the age of two and people with disabilities or other medical conditions that prevent them from wearing any mask will not be required to wear one.
