COMMUNITY INFO

stormwater charges

As a growing City and with climate change, more intense and frequent rainfall is putting a strain on Mississauga’s critical and often unseen stormwater infrastructure. The City’s stormwater system provides important benefits to all who live and work in Mississauga. Managing this system lessens the risk of flooding, reduces creek erosion and protects water quality. This protects you, your property, aquatic habitats, wildlife and Lake Ontario.

The Stormwater Charge is a dedicated funding source to keep our stormwater system in good working order and to help plan for costly repairs in the future. If you are a property owner in Mississauga, the charge appears on your Region of Peel water bill.

The Stormwater Charge maintains and renews more than 185 kilometres of storm sewer pipes, 4 creeks/rivers and 10 stormwater management facilities located in Ward 8.

Taking place in your Ward this year is the Sawmill Creek Erosion Control - The Folkway to Erin Mills Parkway environmental assessment and design stormwater project. Learn more about stormwater projects in Ward 8.

LEARN ABOUT MISSISSAUGA'S TRANSIT & road inFRASTRUCTURE PLAN

How do you make your trip into, around or out of Mississauga? The City of Mississauga is doing a study to develop a long-term plan for its transit and road network – Transit and Road Infrastructure Plan (TRIP). The study will look at transit and road infrastructure priorities to meet the needs of Mississauga residents, businesses and visitors, now and into the future.

A virtual on-demand meeting is now live (until December 20) for the public to provide input 24/7 – on topics such as the modes of transportation they use to the issues they face on the road. Project information and materials are also available for the public to learn more about the study

VIRTUAL ON-DEMAND MEETING

updated parks by-law

Council approved an updated Parks By-law that will ensure more safety and greater clarity for park users and the City’s enforcement staff. The by-law is effective immediately.

“As Mississauga continues to grow and evolve, updates to the Parks By-law are necessary for the City to effectively continue administering and enforcing all park related activities and programs,” said Jodi Robillos, Director, Parks, Forestry and Environment. “This also ensures that all park users are clearly made aware and understand what is and isn’t allowed in our parks. More importantly, it brings more safety measures for the public so that our parks can continue to be used and enjoyed by everyone.”

Some of the key highlights with the updated Parks By-law are as follows:

Children under 12 years of age are not allowed to enter Leash-Free Zones.
Commercial dog walkers with an approved permit can use Leash-Free Zones Monday to Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. only.
Smoking regulations aligned with the Region of Peel’s No Smoking or Vaping By-law which prohibits smoking and vaping in public outdoor spaces.
Park opening hours to change to dawn from 7 a.m. (closure still remains at 11 p.m.) to better reflect user needs.
A Park Vendor section created for clarity around food/refreshment vehicles or carts, and portable display units that operate in parks – with reference to Mobile Licensing processes that are required.
Designated busking areas to be identified through the City’s SaugaBusks program.
A section that deals with kite flying to address requests and emerging trends.
Commercial activities section for goods and services provided by third parties in parks, including commercial photography, fitness/instructional classes and park vendors.
Clarity around fishing in parks.
Allowing for different modes of transportation that can be used in park and trail systems.
Providing clear prohibition of the use of profane/abusive language, including hate speech during gatherings and events within parks.

In reviewing and updating the by-law, staff from various business units were involved, including: Parks, Forestry and Environment; Enforcement; Corporate Security; Legal Services; Recreation; Animal Services; and Mobile Licensing. The City also consulted with residents, Leash-Free Mississauga and commercial dog walkers for regulations that relate to Leash-Free Zones.
