Council approves Healthy City Strategy to help create a healthier community

By Announcement, Planning & Development

The strategy includes 25 actions across 10 themes including those identified by the community through co-designed and collaborative engagement.

On December 11, Mississauga City Council unanimously approved the Healthy City Strategy, aimed at reducing risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes. The strategy empowers City staff and decision makers to apply a health equity lens in the planning and development of City programs, policies, initiatives and infrastructure.

With the vision of fostering a city where all residents thrive and are healthy, active, connected and supported within their community, the strategy embeds a “health equity” perspective into decision making to recognize the health, environmental and social differences across Mississauga and work towards decreasing the prevalence of diabetes and other chronic diseases in Mississauga.

Healthy City Strategy

The Healthy City Strategy was made possible through collaboration with Peel Public Health, the University of Toronto Mississauga’s Novo Nordisk Network for Healthy Populations, Trillium Health Partners and Cities for Better Health (CBH – formerly Cities Changing Diabetes).

The strategy focuses on compact, complete and connected neighbourhoods; community services and programming in support of active living and education; and collaborations with researchers, community, organizations, business, agency and government. It also outlines how the City can influence positive change without taking on responsibilities that belong to other organizations or levels of government.

The strategy incorporates input from research and data experts, health research findings and the experiences of other municipalities to pursue an evidence-informed approach. More than 1,000 participants provided feedback to help inform the strategy, which captured their lived experience and identified needs and priorities for healthy living.

Mississauga’s commitment to building a healthier city

In November 2021, the City joined the Cities for Better Health program and Council unanimously signed the Urban Diabetes Declaration. This partnership connects Mississauga with more than 50 international cities, facilitating shared resources and knowledge to better understand and combat the rise of type 2 diabetes. Since then, the City has benefited from the CBH shared resources and learnings from around the world to inform our strategy.

The City continues to promote active transportation and healthy lifestyles through its focus on complete and connected communities. Mississauga also offers a variety of public fitness and wellness programs.

Prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Mississauga

Diabetes is a serious medical condition that affects the way the body regulates and uses sugar as a fuel. This long-term (chronic) condition results in too much sugar circulating in the bloodstream.

The prevalence rates of type 2 diabetes in most neighbourhoods in Mississauga ranges from 13 to 16.9 per cent . These rates are significantly higher than the Ontario average of 9.8 per cent. Areas of high prevalence of diabetes in Mississauga appear to generally align with areas that are considered more at risk to climate change impacts, social vulnerability, lower walkability, access to green space, transit, higher proportion of fast food restaurants, core housing needs and poor air quality. This means that specific areas of Mississauga carry a higher burden of diabetes along with other risk factors that contribute to the challenge of healthy living. This is not health equity.

Moving forward, the City will begin to integrate the Healthy City Strategy and its health equity lens into planning and program implementation, working to advance the 25 actions outlined in the strategy and work towards health equity.

Quotes

“Diabetes is a growing concern in Mississauga. I’m pleased we have a strategy that empowers staff and decision makers to consider health impacts in City planning and policy development. Thank you to our collaborators and the community for working with us to develop this important strategy. The City can’t address all health issues alone, and this plan allows us to seek integrated solutions with support from businesses, organizations and other government levels. Together, we can make our city a healthier place to live, work and play.”

Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish

“Mississauga’s Healthy City Strategy is an important step for our community. Cities play a key role in promoting public health, helping residents stay healthy and reducing risks of chronic diseases, like diabetes. As a collaborator in developing the strategy, Peel Public Health looks forward to working closely with the City of Mississauga to put the strategy into action.”

Paul Sharma, Director, Chronic Disease and Injury Prevention, Peel Public Health

“The Novo Nordisk Network for Healthy Populations applauds the City of Mississauga for approving the Healthy City Strategy, and looks forward to continued collaboration as we work to lessen the inequities in risk and burden of diabetes and related cardiometabolic conditions. As rates of type 2 diabetes continue to rise, this strategy looks at tangible ways to reduce and remove the barriers to achieving good health faced by many in the Peel Region, and our network is pleased to be able to provide evidence-based research programs centred in the community to support this work.”

Water Interruption Notice – C-603946, 897 The Greenway, Mississauga, Friday December 20

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 Friday December 20th, 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)

Ontario proposes legislation regarding Peel’s Provincial Efficiencies Review

By Announcement

Yesterday, the Province introduced the Peel Transition Implementation Act, 2024 which, if passed, would transfer the delivery of certain public works services from Peel Region to Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon. This legislation will be considered further when the House resumes in March according to the Minister. This announcement is related to Bill 185, the Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act and the Provincial Efficiencies Review.

Key Points from the announcement:

  • The proposed changes include transferring jurisdiction and responsibility for the following services, effective July 1, 2026, or as determined by the Minister:
    • Regional roads and associated stormwater infrastructure, including ownership and maintenance responsibilities, from the Region of Peel to Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon.
    • Waste collection services and two community recycling centres located in Mississauga from Peel Region to the City of Mississauga.
  • The government is continuing to explore potential options for the transfer of water/wastewater services from Peel Region noting that any future outcome would maintain public ownership.
  • To support Peel Region and the municipalities through this transition, Ontario’s Provincial Land and Development Facilitator (PLDF) advisory agency will work with the municipalities to facilitate the process for service transfers.

While Peel Region recognizes the importance of this announcement in shaping the future of the region, we are still in the process of reviewing the full implications.

Peel Region is dedicated to keeping its partners informed throughout this process. Updates will be shared as more information becomes available, ensuring transparency and engagement with all those affected.
