Mississauga needs more housing options for families, older adults, students and the next generation who want to live in the city.
Currently, many homes in our neighbourhoods are located on large lots with two or fewer residents. The result is that some neighbourhoods are seeing their populations shrink despite a city-wide need for more housing.
The City’s Zoning By-law regulates the types of buildings that can be built in different parts of the city and how those buildings are used. Updating the City’s neighbourhood zoning to allow more housing choices like semi-detached and smaller detached homes is one way to add density in a gentle way.
You’re invited to join an upcoming virtual community meeting to learn more about the neighbourhood zoning review:
* Northern Mississauga (Wards 5, 9, 10, 11): Thursday, November 7 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
* Central Mississauga (Wards 3, 4, 6, 7): Thursday, November 14 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
* Southern Mississauga (Wards 1, 2, 8): Thursday, November 21 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
Residents are encouraged to attend the session for their ward, but are welcome to join any meeting that fits their schedule.
I have heard you!
Over the past several months, residents have shared their concerns and frustrations with the reduced speed limit in school zones well past school hours and extra-curricular activities.
Currently they are now 30km/h and you may recall prior to that it was always 40km/h. Automated Speed enforcement will still continue to operate under the new changes.
I brought forward a motion to General Committee on October 23, 2024, to have school zone speeds reconsidered. At Council on October 30, 2024, my motion was approved.
Resolution #0222-2024 Moved by Councillor Dasko, Seconded by Councillor Butt:
That Recommendations GC-0450-2024 – GC 0475-2024 as contained in the General Committee Report 17-2024 – dated October 23, 2024 be approved with the exception of GC-0457-2024 that is amended to:
GC-0457-2024: That the current speed limit designation of 30 km/h in school zones on local roadways as outlined in the report from the Commissioner of Transportation and Works, dated October 9, 2024, and entitled “School Zone Speed Limits on Local Roadways” be amended to reflect time of day enforcement, between the hours of 6:00 AM until 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday year-round.
Monday to Friday from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. will be 40km/h. Weekends will be 40km/h.
Currently City staff are working on implementing these changes and I and will keep you up to date.
Dear Customer:
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, November 7th, 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)
If you have any questions, please contact us.

Mississauga begins budget process with launch of proposed 2025-2028 Business Plan & 2025 Budget
By diving into the budget document, you’ll be able to discover how decisions are made on everything from infrastructure improvements to community programs and transit. The budget helps understand how the City improves quality of life, the services we rely on, and even the future of our neighbourhoods.
Mississauga plans and budgets for activities and programs through three planning phases: the current budget year, in this case 2025; the four-year plan, 2025–2028; and the 10-year capital program, 2025–2034. This multi-year approach allows the City to respond to political, economic, social and environmental circumstances.
Find the 2025-2028 Business Plan & 2025 Budget document here.
About the City’s 2025-2028 Business Plan & 2025 Budget
Mississauga delivers over 200 services to taxpayers including public transit, fire & emergency services, libraries, recreation programs, snow clearing, parks and many more. The corporate priorities which guide the development of the budget are:
