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/.
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).

A PA system and sound technician will be provided by the City of Mississauga. All instruments (including backline) must be provided by the performers(s).

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, March 21st, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 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:
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:
If you have any questions, please contact us.

(March 18, 2025) – Peel Public Health (PPH) is investigating a case of measles that was confirmed on March 14.
The public may have been exposed at the following locations:

Measles is a highly contagious disease that spreads easily to those who are not immunized or have not previously had measles. Infants under one year of age, unimmunized pregnant people, and people with weakened immune systems are at increased risk of complications.
Measles symptoms begin 7-21 days after infection and may include:

Since 2012, the Forestry section has regularly completed controlled burns at Jack Darling Memorial Park to help maintain rare tallgrass prairie habitat. These burns have proved successful in restoring the prairie. In 2022, the remnant prairie at Lorne Park was also added to the burn schedule. The burns are completed every 3-4 years with the last burns completed in 2021 and 2022. As a result, a burn is scheduled for spring 2025 at both locations.
Tallgrass prairies once covered over 40,000 ha of land in Ontario, including a large proportion of Mississauga, but less than three percent (3%) of this habitat remains in Southern Ontario. By protecting these remaining areas, we help preserve biodiversity and our natural heritage. The prairie is threatened by invasive species and controlled burns are an effective way to maintain the habitat and support rare grasses and wildflowers that grow there. The controlled burn will be scheduled to take place between mid-March to early-May 2025, with exact date(s) determined based on weather conditions (ie. wind speed and precipitation). The entire burn process will take approximately 4 to 6 hours over the course of 1 to 2 days.
The controlled burn will be completed by Wildfire Specialists Inc., a company with over 20 years of specialized experience in tallgrass prairie restoration and management through controlled burns. Forestry and Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services staff will be on site with the contractor throughout the burn process. Residential homes adjacent to the site will receive direct notification regarding the burn, and temporary signs will be erected in both parks prior to the burn to inform park users of temporary park closures.
Controlled burns will continue on a maintenance schedule of every three to four years, augmented by annual maintenance practices. This will ensure the ongoing preservation of prairie habitats in these parklands.
