“OUR COMMUNITY IS OUR HOME”
Statement from Stephen Dasko, Councillor for Ward 1 Regarding Change in Time to Planning and Development Meetings
On Wednesday February 27, 2019 at General Committee Stephen Dasko, Councillor for Ward 1 stated that, “I am NOT in favour of the new format change to hold Planning and Development Committee meetings at 1:30 p.m. instead of the 7:00 p.m”.
Dasko moved a motion that this be referred back to staff and the Chair of Planning and Development and to bring a report forward for discussion to the next General Committee. This motion was passed.

For many years Stephen has attended various public meetings in the community regarding building proposals. They provide the community, developers, staff and the respective Councillor of that Ward to have a comprehensive discussion regarding the proposal. Having residents, ratepayers associations and other stakeholders attend Planning and Development Committee meetings provides another dynamic which Stephen believes is an important component of the process that has brought and continues to bring so much change to so many communities.
“I am of the belief that written comments will carry the same amount of weight as a verbal, I strongly disagree”, said Stephen Dasko, Councillor of Ward 1 at General Committee regarding the change in time from Planning and Development Committee.
I am looking forward to the report back from staff and the Chair of Planning and Development, and I will continue to advocate for sessions to take place in the evenings development proposals as part of the process.

Dear Councillor Dasko:
Thank you for your interest in the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) Improvement Project from east of Cawthra Road to The East Mall. As a follow-up to our January 28, 2019 meeting, I am updating you on your request for a Fall Public Meeting.
We agree that public consultation is important. As you are aware, Contract 1 that extends along the QEW from west of Etobicoke Creek to The East Mall started in Summer 2018 with construction anticipated to be complete by Winter 2021, subject to weather and construction progress. Prior to and during Contract 1, we have conducted extensive public consultation and will continue to do so throughout the life of this project.
Contract 2 that covers the works along QEW from east of Cawthra Road to west of Etobicoke Creek is currently in the early stages of detail design and will continue into 2020.
We anticipate public consultation for Contract 2 to begin in 2021 with construction start anticipated to begin in Spring 2022. Public consultation may include a public information centre, brochure delivery and updates to our website, among other methods.
At this time, we have no further information beyond what was presented at the Public Information Centre in December 2017.
Should you or your constituents have any questions or concerns in the meanwhile, we have set up this website and email for the public to contact us at:

All of the City’s bridges are inspected every two years following OSIM (Ontario’s Structural Inspection Manual) to ensure they are kept in good condition. The structure at Lakeshore Road over the Credit River was constructed in 1960, rehabilitated in 2007 and has undergone periodic maintenance. The next scheduled OSIM inspection is to take place this spring.
This structure is currently scheduled for rehabilitation in 2022. Leading up to the rehabilitation we will be initiating detailed condition survey and design work in 2020. This will include conducting a detailed analysis of the structure’s load capacity and fatigue investigation.
Play your role in keeping your community safe by keeping your sidewalk clear of snow and ice after a snowfall ends.
Offer a helping hand to older adults and persons with physical disabilities in your neighbourhood by clearing their sidewalks. Treat slippery surfaces in front of your home to ensure that older adults, students walking to schools and bus stops, and other pedestrians have a safe path to travel in front of your home. You can make this a fun winter activity by involving kids and young family members.
Always remember when you dig out your car or shovel your driveway, place the snow on your lawn and not on the street. Placing snow from your driveway or parking lot on the road is illegal under the Obstructing Highways By-law.
The City of Mississauga clears sidewalks along major roads and other priority areas where there is access to hospitals, schools and transit. To see a map of these sidewalks visit mississauga.ca/snow.

The well-being of animals is always top of mind in our neighbourhoods. It’s important that residents understand the City’s Animal Care and Control By-Law. It sets standards of care to help protect animals and ensure they are cared for by their owners.
Extreme Weather
When the snow falls and frigid temperatures set in, don’t forget about your furry animal friends. Pets cannot be left outdoors during extreme weather, except for brief walks or washroom breaks. The exception is for animals that have access to adequate shelter. Some breeds can live outside during winter as long as they have proper shelter. Do your research – an Alaskan Malamute may be outside in a doghouse while a Whippet can’t handle the cold.
Adequate Shelter – Doghouses
If your dog or a neighbour’s dog lives outside, it must have access to a doghouse that is large enough for the dog to stand up, turn around, lie down and stretch out. The walls, floor and ceiling of the shelter must be insulated and interior walls must be covered to prevent the dog from coming into contact with the insulation. The doghouse must be clean with dry bedding such as straw and there must be a door flap during winter months to keep cold winds and snow at bay. And finally, the doghouse must comply with the City’s Zoning By-law.
Veterinary Care
It’s up to owners to ensure their pet has regular veterinary care including vaccinations to support good health and to attend to any signs of injury or disease.
Pens and Enclosures
Dogs must be kept in an enclosure that is a minimum of 9.3 m2 or 100 ft2. If there is more than one dog, the pen must be increased by 2.8 m2 or 30 ft2. Pets must be taken out of the pen and not tethered for at least four hours at a time within a 24 hour period. Put some thought into your pet’s living conditions as the pens must be clean, sanitary, safe and secure.
Tethering
Did you know that pets can only be tethered for a total of four hours in a 24 hour period? Tethered pets must be in their owner’s view and have at least 3 m or 9.84 ft. to ensure the dog can travel safely and access shelter and water.
