SAIB – Public Hours

By Events, Ward 1

The team at the Small Arms Inspection Building is committed to providing a quality customer service experience and has made some adjustments based on feedback from users.  A new schedule will be implemented in the fall when the facility re-opens.

The implementation of a consistent schedule for public hours to enhance and stimulate regular activity, fosters a more vibrant space that actively supports a reliable schedule for community arts with the proposed schedule below.

To accommodate requests by community groups, Friday through Sunday will be exclusively reserved for event rentals. For example, from October to January, the building will be booked on weekends for a diverse range of events.

After 6pm on weekday evenings, the space will be animated by a mix of City programs and smaller community group rentals.  We will be implementing new rental fees for smaller meeting requests where space is available at a significantly reduced cost when they are only using a small portion of the space (ie, a small community group meeting, consistent with our Heritage Hall rental rate).

Announcement: Peel Regional Police Receives Funding for Critical Air Support Unit

By Announcement, Resources

Peel Regional Police (PRP) has secured funding through the Ontario Government to procure a helicopter for our service. This will significantly enhance our police response and greatly assist our officers in combating crime and ensure the safety of our community.

Since December 2023, PRP has been working with the Ministry of Solicitor General to lead and develop a Joint Air Support Unit (JASU) that would secure new helicopters for the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS), Ottawa Police Service (OPS), and Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS).

Today (July 29), we were pleased to host Premier Ford and the Government of Ontario in Peel to make the funding announcement. The JASU funding will include over $10 million for PRP to acquire a helicopter and over $2 million annually for operational costs for the next five years.

The addition of a helicopter will significantly assist PRP’s operations through regular patrols, enhance suspect and vehicle pursuits and apprehensions, help with search efforts for missing persons, increase road safety enforcement especially as it pertains to street racing and stunt driving, and improve overall public safety.

In collaboration with the Region of Peel, we are spearheading the procurement process to secure the helicopters on behalf of our municipal partner agencies.

We would like to express our gratitude to the Provincial Government for this investment and their ongoing support of policing and community safety. The addition of a helicopter marks a significant step forward in modernizing policing in Peel Region, as we continue to aspire to be the most progressive, innovative, and inclusive police service.

SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION NOTICE – Thursday, August 1st, 9:00am to 5:00pm – 39 Onaway Rd

By Resources, Ward 1

INTERRUPTION DETAILS

Date and Time: Thursday, August 1st, 9:00am to 5:00pm

Location:  39 Onaway Rd                              

Addresses Affected: 34 – 51 Onaway Rd                               

Project #:  C-604041

Regional Inspector: Phemelo Mpoloka

Telephone #               437-220-8917

905-791-7800 ext. 3246/3247

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, August 1st, 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)

Wildlife Relocation & Wildlife Resources and Education

By Food for thought, Resources

Animal Services provides a range of animal related services, including animal care, education, enforcement services and pet licensing. Staff respond to concerns regarding animal-related safety and nuisance issues, while working with residents to promote responsible pet ownership. The Animal Care and Control By-law guides the work of Animal Services, outlining regulations aimed at safeguarding animal well-being.

Wildlife Relocation

Mississauga is home to diverse wildlife, which can be observed in both public and private spaces. It is important for residents to learn how to respond or interact with wildlife of various life stages during different seasons and how to protect themselves, their homes and their pets from unwanted encounters with nuisance wildlife.

Animal Services acts in accordance with the provincial government’s wildlife laws and regulations and refrains from the removal of healthy wildlife on private and public property. Provincial laws generally prohibit capturing and relocating live wildlife except in specific circumstances where the owner is protecting their property. For relocation to be viable, residents must proactively make their property less attractive to wildlife. This includes removing food attractants, eliminating sources of drinking water, and wildlife-proofing their residence.

Animal Services provides the following services to address nuisance wildlife:

  • Removal of animals that are accessible and deemed sick, injured, or distressed;
    • Animals are accessible if they are on the ground and in open spaces;
  • Removal of wildlife that are carriers of the rabies virus (e.g. racoons, skunks, bats) from accessible interior dwelling spaces where they pose an immediate threat to safety; and
  • Direct residents to qualified contractors to assist with the removal of nuisance wildlife from private property.

Wildlife Resource & Education

Animal Services provides extensive resources and educational materials to assist residents in addressing wildlife related concerns. By visiting www.mississauga.ca/wildlife, residents can access valuable information on how to responsibly interact with wildlife throughout the year and safeguard their homes and pets from unwanted encounters with nuisance animals. Additionally, attached to this email are pamphlets and brochures developed by Animal Services for wildlife resident education.

For inquiries regarding healthy nuisance wildlife, residents have multiple avenues for assistance. They can visit the City’s website, call 311, or email mypet.info@mississauga.ca to connect with a dedicated Public Education Officer. Through these channels, residents can obtain the necessary contacts if they encounter healthy wildlife on their property and report instances of ill or injured wildlife.
