SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION NOTICE – Lakeview Village – Tuesday, December 10th, at 8:00am until Wednesday, December 11th, at 6:00pm

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 Tuesday, December 10th, at 8:00am until Wednesday, December 11th, at 6:00pm. 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)

Peel Regional Police Update: 2024 Seasonal R.I.D.E. Campaign Launch

By Events, Food for thought

Peel Regional Police officially launched the Seasonal Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) Campaign in partnership with Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD). This initiative is part of our ongoing and collaborative efforts to reduce impaired driving and enhance road safety across Peel Region.

From November 16 to December 31, 2024, additional officers from Road Safety Services and divisions will be deployed to conduct increased roadside checks to ensure the community is driving safely and responsibly.

Officers will be reminding the public to not drive if they have consumed alcohol or any type of drugs, as well as ensuring they have a plan to get home by having a designated driver, an alternate place to stay, or using public transportation. Road safety is a shared responsibility.

While the Seasonal R.I.D.E. Campaign marks an increase in strategic enforcement, PRP remains committed to year-round education about the dangers of impaired driving.

We encourage you to keep an eye out on our social media to share road safety tips with your communities throughout the holiday season.

Article InSauga – New 64-acre conservation area will be an environmental ‘gem’ in Mississauga

By Announcement, Parks, Stephen’s Initiatives, Ward 1

Mississauga Ward 1 Coun. Stephen Dasko, in a post to social media, described the Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area as “an incredible collaborative initiative that will be 64 acres along Mississauga’s shoreline.”

Construction of the new trails and other park infrastructure began in fall 2023.

Project leaders have said their more recent focus has been on “creating a unique space for the public to enjoy” once the conservation area opens.

“Through consultation with our Indigenous partners, community advisory members and partner organizations, we‘re planning to build an accessible network of trails, boardwalks, lookouts and gathering spaces,” CVC said in an earlier project update. “These new amenities will provide scenic connections to the lake, wetlands, grasslands and forest environments at the conservation area, showcasing the diverse cultural and ecological history of the site.”

Ready for growth and development: City preparing to finalize Official Plan

By Announcement, Planning & Development

Proposed updates will help bring more housing to Mississauga

Mississauga is preparing to finalize its new Official Plan – an important planning document that helps shape the future of our city. From housing and transportation to the environment and economy, the Official Plan guides how Mississauga will grow and develop over the next 25 years.

Recent updates to the Official Plan include policies to help encourage more housing and new mixed-use communities. The updated plan also addresses new planning-related legislation from the province.

As the City prepares to finalize the Official Plan, there will be several opportunities for members of the public to learn more and share final comments on the draft.

Opportunities for feedback

The City welcomes input on the draft Official Plan:

  • On December 9, City staff will provide an update to Planning and Development Committee – and interested members of the public – on proposed changes to the Official Plan. Many of the changes stem from public feedback received earlier this year.
  • In January, City staff will hold a virtual public meeting to provide an overview of the draft Official Plan, highlight key changes and take input. The draft Official Plan will be posted online in advance of the meeting – and comments are welcome anytime.

Following these meetings, staff will incorporate any additional feedback and bring a final draft of the new Official Plan to Council for adoption in Spring 2025.

Meeting details

What: Planning and Development Committee meeting

When: Monday, December 9, 2024 at 6 p.m.

Where: Council Chambers, City Hall

Participate: Watch the live stream on the City’s website (without registering) or join in person at City Hall. Instructions on how to register for the meeting are included in the meeting agenda.

Information about the January 2025 virtual community meeting will be posted in the new year. If you want to be notified directly, please visit the Official Plan Review engagement website and subscribe for project updates. The virtual meeting presentation will also be recorded and posted on the website after the session.

If you have questions or comments, you can also reach out to official.plan@mississauga.ca.

Background

Every 10 years, the City reviews and updates the Official Plan to ensure it reflects Mississauga’s changing needs and provincial direction. Public input has played an important part in shaping the policies that make up the new Official Plan, including:

  • Where housing, industry, offices and shops should go
  • Which services and amenities such as parks, schools, roads, trails and transit are needed
  • How we protect the city’s culture, heritage and environment
  • How the city should grow and what growth will look like

The new Official Plan will come into effect once it is adopted by City Council and approved by the Province of Ontario.

ALUS Peel Pilot receives grant from Coca-Cola to support watershed health across Canada

By Resources

Peel Region and its partners have received a grant from The Coca-Cola Company in Canada to support initiatives that protect key watersheds, including the Credit and Humber Rivers.

This funding will be implemented through the ALUS Peel Pilot, which assists farmers in Peel in voluntarily addressing environmental opportunities to protect habitat, soil, and water quality through community-led, nature-based solutions.  Through projects such as tree planting, wetland restoration, soil erosion control, and livestock fencing, the ALUS Peel Pilot program strengthens farm sustainability while providing critical ecosystem services, including flood mitigation and carbon capture.

The grant will help provide annual payments to Peel farmers who undertake an ALUS Peel Pilot project, recognizing their voluntary stewardship efforts and the retirement of sensitive agricultural lands.

Since 2004, farmers in Peel have implemented over $4.7 million worth of environmental farm projects in collaboration with Peel Region, Credit Valley Conservation (CVC), and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) through the Peel Rural Water Quality Program. The ALUS Peel Pilot expands this legacy by introducing the ALUS model to further increase resources available for long-term environmental stewardship projects.

ALUS Canada, a charitable organization that helps farmers and ranchers develop nature-based solutions on their land, has been selected by The Coca Cola Company in Canada to receive a $162,500 grant to strengthen watershed health initiatives in communities where the company operates. In addition to Peel, the funding will support ALUS programs in Rocky View, Alberta, and Laurentides, Quebec, helping implement long-term environmental projects that improve water quality, build climate resilience, and enhance biodiversity.

Quotations

“Addressing climate change requires collective effort. Working in partnership with organizations that share our vision helps us advance initiatives that support environmental stewardship and promote long-term sustainability. Together, we aim to make a significant contribution to the future of our planet.”   

Kealy Dedman, Commissioner of Public Works, Peel Region

Celebrating the contributions of persons with disabilities: December 3 is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities

By Announcement

A day to celebrate the leadership, resilience and contributions of persons with disabilities in our community.

Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities – a day to celebrate the leadership, resilience and contributions of persons with disabilities in our community.

Following a press conference focused on Disability Without Poverty’s 2024 Report Card, the City of Mississauga passed a resolution on November 27 to send a letter to Prime Minster Justin Trudeau and all party leaders highlighting that the current Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) is inadequate and that eligibility criteria is too narrow and restrictive. As a result, poverty rates for this group are twice as high as those without disabilities.

Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA), the City is required to develop a multi-year accessibility plan that outlines how Mississauga will meet its obligations under the legislation and remove barriers for people with disabilities. The City is currently on its third plan, which builds upon what has been accomplished since introducing its first multi-year plan in 2012.

The City is pleased to share its commitment to removing barriers, along with its continued progress on the Multi-Year Accessibility Plan: 2023-2028.

Recent initiatives include:

  • Property Tax Rebate Program: offered to low-income seniors (ages 65 and older) and low-income persons with disabilities who own and occupy their own home, the $400 rebate is applied to the tax account to offset property taxes.
  • Eliminating barriers at City facilities and public spaces such as the recent renovation and new addition to Burnhamthorpe Community Centre, which focused on improvements to the quality of recreational services provided to people with disabilities, while implementing higher accessibility standards.
  • Improving the accessibility of MiWay’s transit system. In 2023, 25 enhanced bus shelters were installed. These were equipped with enclosed heated areas, digital schedule information, wave sensors and digital screens. Additionally, accessibility was improved with the installation/restoration of passenger landing pads at 61 bus stop locations.
  • Reducing the unemployment rate for people with disabilities by implementing a targeted outreach strategy for recruiting people with disabilities by partnering with Discover Ability and Ready, Willing and Able to support the employment of persons with disabilities.
  • Offering a variety of recreational and sports activities in an accessible format. These adapted programs are tailored to meet the unique needs of people with disabilities – specifically designed for individuals with physical, cognitive or sensory disabilities.

To learn more about the City’s commitments to advancing accessibility and to read the 2023 annual status update, visit the webpage.

Quotes

“Approximately 201,000 Mississauga residents live with a disability. People with disabilities often face multiple barriers to accessing services, facilities and employment – and the need for accessible services will continue to rise as the population ages. As a City, we are committed to creating an inclusive community where everyone has equal access to these items, including offering property tax rebate programs for low-income persons with disabilities and seniors.”
– Mayor Carolyn Parrish

“The City’s Multi-Year Accessibility Plan showcases our unwavering dedication to removing barriers and promoting inclusion. With guidance from our community partners and Accessibility Advisory Committee, we continue to enhance Mississauga’s programs and services, promote awareness that go beyond AODA standards. We know these are just the stepping stones towards a more inclusive future, but we remain dedicated towards inclusive growth.”
– Raj Sheth, Commissioner of Corporate Services
