Applications for two City of Mississauga flood prevention rebates now open

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

Councillor Dasko is happy to share another update, as promised.

Both rebates provide financial support to Mississauga residents who install water-resistant materials or other flood prevention measures within their home or on their property.

February 12, 2025

Today, the City launched two flood prevention rebates to help residents offset the cost of installing measures to limit flooding in and around their homes. These two programs offer up to a total of $10,500 in financial support for eligible Mississauga homeowners.

City rebate programs

The City has launched two rebate programs to help offset the cost of upgrades for Mississauga homeowners.

  • Flood Resilience Rebate: is a City rebate program created to help those who had flood damage and installed eligible water resilient materials and other measures to make their homes more resistant to future flooding. The rebate pays for up to 50 per cent of the cost of these materials, labour and tax, up to a maximum of $3,000.
  • Basement Flooding Prevention Rebate: is a City rebate program created to replace the Foundation Drain Collector Sump Pump Subsidy. This new city-wide rebate program offers up to $7,500 to pay for eligible basement flood prevention measures, such as a sump pump or downspout disconnection.

Apply for the Flood Resilience Rebate

To be eligible, you must be a registered owner of a detached home, semi-detached home, duplex or townhouse within Mississauga. To provide proof of ownership, you must provide a copy of your City tax bill. The name on the application must match the registered owner listed on the tax bill. You must have experienced flood damage on or after the July 8, 2013, storm event. Only one registered owner per residential address is eligible to receive a rebate.

Residents must complete a rebate application and submit it with a copy of their City tax bill and proof of eligibility, including:

  • Proof of flooding: such as an insurance claim or photos of flooding in the residential dwelling.

WATER INTERRUPTION NOTICE Watermain Replacement and Improvement 1672, 1684 and 1694 Dundas Street East – Tuesday July 15, 2025 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.

By Resources

WATER INTERRUPTION NOTICE
Watermain Replacement and Improvement
1672, 1684 and 1694 Dundas Street East
Project 18-1310 C2

Peel Region regularly maintains and repairs the watermains in your area. Sometimes, we need to turn off your water supply while we do this work.
Your water will be turned off on Tuesday July 15, 2025 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other unexpected events, we’ll 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 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 (starting in the basement/first floor and finishing on the top floor). You’ll 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 Region presents progress on Seniors Services in 2024

By Announcement

Strengthens commitment to person-centred, emotion-based care 

BRAMPTON, ON (July 10, 2025) – Seniors Services, comprised of the Long Term Care (LTC) and Seniors Services Development (SSD) Divisions, presented its 2024 annual performance report for Adult Day Services and Long Term Care Centres to Regional Council. 

With seniors representing the fastest-growing population in Peel – projected to make up 20% of the population by 2041 — and 65% of LTC residents already living with dementia, Peel Region continues to take bold, innovative steps to deliver person-centred, emotion-based care in line with the Seniors Services Strategic Plan. 

Key achievements in 2024 include: 
 

  • Reaching More Seniors: Services were delivered to 861 residents across Peel Region’s LTC Centres, while 405 community members were supported through in-person Adult Day Services (ADS), and another 101 participated in Virtual ADS. 
     
  • Exceeding Provincial Standards: Peel Region LTC outperformed the provincial average on all six quality indicators for LTC home performance: antipsychotic use without a psychosis diagnosis, worsened skin and wounds, use of physical restraints, falls, worsened pain, and worsened mood from symptoms of depression. 
     
  • Excellent Client and Resident Satisfaction: 100% of ADS clients reported satisfaction with overall programs and services; 98% felt services helped maintain or improve their well-being; and 93% agreed that ADS participation helped them live at home longer. 88% of people living in one of our five Peel LTC homes were satisfied with the quality of care received, and 83% would recommend their centre to others as a place to live. 
     
  • Recognition for Clinical Excellence: For the 10th consecutive year, Peel Region LTC was re-designated as a Best Practice Spotlight Organization by the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario. 

  • Expanding Emotion-Based Care: All seven LTC Butterfly home areas were re-certified by Meaningful Care Matters, with accreditation underway at two additional Butterfly home areas at the Seniors Health and Wellness Village (SHWV) at Peel Manor. Emotion-based care is also being implemented in all five ADS programs with Malton Village becoming the first Butterfly certified ADS program in Peel Region and in Canada. 
     
  • Innovation at the Seniors Health and Wellness Village at Peel Manor: The SHWV at Peel Manor continues to serve as a leading model of care, offering support and services through an integrated care centre, an eight-bed overnight respite care unit, expanded ADS capacity, and the Thrive program for seniors and their informal caregivers. 
     
  • Behavioral Supports: In its first year, the Transitional Behavioural Support Unit admitted 36 individuals with advanced dementia-related symptoms. As the Lead Agency for Behavioural Supports Ontario, Peel Region is expanding mobile behavioural support teams across Central West to assist residents with dementia, support transitions, stabilize new admissions, and address resource challenges in collaboration with 23 LTC homes and partners. 
     
  • Reducing Hospitalizations: LTC Nurse practitioners are leveraging point-of-care testing and advanced clinical skills to reduce unnecessary hospital transfers through early intervention and on-site treatment within their long-term care home. 
     
  • Improving End-of-Life Care in LTC: Palliative care tools piloted at Vera M. Davis Centre in Caledon with provincial funding are enhancing comfort and family-led approaches at end-of-life, reducing unnecessary hospital transfers and supporting culturally sensitive care, with plans to roll out across Peel Region LTC. 
     
  • Investing in Staff Well-being: The Culture and Wellness program supports staffs’ resilience with mental health resources, Health specific leadership development, and burnout prevention experienced in the health sector, helping to address sector-wide staffing challenges.

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, July 10th, 2025, from 12:00pm- 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)

There’s nothing like the excitement of action sports to get your adrenaline pumping. Head down to Celebration Square for the JACKALOPE Action Sports Festival from July 11 -13 to enjoy skateboarding (vert and street), base jumping, bouldering breaking battles, BMX and motocross, and roller skating.

Visit Mississauga has partnered with TRIBU to transform downtown Mississauga’s Celebration Square and Square One Shopping Centre parking lot into an action sports hot spot for one thrill-filled weekend with the JACKALOPE Action Sports Festival.

For the 19+ crowd, the celebrations continue with a beer garden and after parties.

Attendees can watch talented athletes compete and will also have the opportunity to try out some of the sports for themselves.

Visit Mississauga is excited to welcome the Golden Ticket winners, who will have the opportunity to participate in JACKALOPE Mississauga and represent their country, culture, and unique style. After a month-long digital search for the world’s best undiscovered, up-and-coming skaters, winners were selected by a panel of judges from hundreds of submissions.

Other exciting attendees

In collaboration with Ontario Skakeboarding and GO Skate Day Toronto, JACKALOPE is also excited to offer Wild Cards to local skateboarders Ricky Skates,  Sadie DeMill Chippedshins and Hailey Mae Rudolph.

As legendary in skateboarding as Tony Hawk and famously featured in the iconic Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater video game series, Brazilian Bob Burnquist will be in attendance this weekend. Ontario’s own Aunty Skates will also be joining the action with her Learn to Skate with Aunty adult beginner clinics, an unmissable opportunity for fans and first-timers alike.
