By Events, Ward 1

The eagerly awaited return of the Lakeview Farmers and Artisan Market is set to return for its fifth season at Mississauga’s Small Arms Inspection Building on May 26th, 2024, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. Held weekly on Sundays from May 26th to October 27th, the Market features local, sustainable, organic, and artisanal products, which provide an important source of income for local farmers, growers, producers, and artisans.

Throughout its 26-week run, the Market will feature more than 30 local farmers and food vendors, as well as a bi-weekly artisan market with an additional 60 rotating vendors. Whether visitors are seeking farm-fresh produce, artisanal crafts, gourmet treats, or unique handmade goods, there will be something for everyone at the Market.

The Market operates hybridly indoors and outdoors, with local buskers, entertainment, a cafe, and much more. Throughout the season, the Market will also be home to exciting activities such as a Garlic Festival, Vintage Clothing Market, Multicultural Festival, and many more, where additional vendors, games, and workshops will be available for attendees to enjoy.

“We’re thrilled to welcome back the Lakeview Farmers and Artisan Market, a cherished gathering place for our community,” said Meredith Wood, Executive Director. “This season, we’re excited to introduce new vendors alongside our returning favorites, highlighting the diverse talents and flavors of Mississauga.”

The Market’s success is made possible by the unwavering support of various partners.

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the City of Mississauga, McKenna Logistics, InSauga, Modern Mississauga Media, Curbex Media, and all our partners for their invaluable support,” added Meredith Wood. “Together, we’re creating a platform that celebrates the rich tapestry of our community while providing a supportive environment for local farmers and artisans to thrive.”

The Lakeview Farmers’ and Artisan Market is operated by CreativeHub 1352, a non-profit, charitable, community-driven organization which exists for the advancement of community cultural development through the arts, heritage, and environmental sciences. One of the many groups vital to the reuse of the Small Arms Inspection Building, all proceeds from the market will be reinvested into the market to support local farmers, producers, artisans and education.

Hydro One Vegetation Maintenance

By Resources

Hydro One is responsible for maintaining a safe distance between vegetation and power lines to keep the corridor safe for public use, keep the lights on, and to allow easy and safe access for our crews. This important work ensures that Hydro One can continue to provide a supply of safe and reliable electricity.

What to Expect

As part of our work, our Forestry Technicians will selectively identify for removal or trimming (if possible) trees and other vegetation that could pose a risk to the electrical system. In advance of work starting, our team will deliver notices (please see attached notice) to adjacent property owners and engage residents that have work required on their property. Our Forestry Technician will make every effort to contact property owners in advance. Access to the hydro corridor may be limited during this time to ensure the safety of our crews and the public. Signs will be posted in parks and community trails and our staff will re-direct community members around the closures.

Work Methods

Our Forestry crews will use the following methods to complete this work:

  • Manual trimming and removals of trees and other vegetation will be completed with hand tools such as chainsaws and pruners. Bucket trucks and wood chippers will also be onsite, as required.
  • Mechanical equipment (grinders) will be used to remove incompatible vegetation, and clean-up cut and trmmed vegetation.

Mississauga stands in solidarity with Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit individuals

By Announcement, Events

This day aims to recognize and raise awareness about the alarming rate of violence and abuse that Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people face in Canada.

On Sunday, May 5, the City of Mississauga will recognize the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S), also known as Red Dress Day. This day aims to recognize and raise awareness about the alarming rate of violence and abuse that Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people face in Canada.

“We stand solid in our commitment to the families who are still impacted by these horrific crimes and to bring awareness and education to the public,” said Ogimma-kwe Claire Sault, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. “We can’t change the past, but we can certainly change the future for Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ individuals who have been devasted by violence or are still missing. We need to be a voice for those we’ve lost and a strength to those who are left behind. For survivors, we need to continue to create safe spaces that allows them to tell their story.”

The 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action report identified 94 steps to address the damaging impact of residential schools in Canada. One of these steps, Call to Action #41, focuses on the issue of disproportionate violence against Indigenous women and girls and proposes the creation of a public inquiry into this crisis, which remains an urgent matter of concern.

“Today, Mississauga stands in solidarity with the Indigenous community and 2SLGBTQI+ individuals who have been impacted by violence or have gone missing,” said Acting Mayor, Matt Mahoney. “We pause to reflect and acknowledge the pain and suffering they have experienced and to show our support for them and their families. We honour the strength and courage of the survivors who have shared their stories with us.”

On May 5, the City will recognize these tragic moments in Canada’s Indigenous history, by:

  • Dimming the Clock Tower at Mississauga City Hall
  • Lowering the Every Child Matters flag at City Hall to half-mast

The community is encouraged to show their support and raise awareness of MMIWG2S by wearing red, joining the conversation online, viewing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s report and other related material. Additional information and resources can be found on the City’s webpage.
