DRAO Announcement
On November 29th, 2024, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing announced that the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians (DRAO) program has been activated for the Little Etobicoke Creek area in response to the July 16th and August 17th and 18th localized flooding events.
Councillor Dasko was instrumental in having the Provincial officials connect with local residents in Ward 1 for inspections, to ensure that a full understanding of the magnitude of the issues in the area were understood. The result of which is that the area has been recognized and included in the program.
Applications for the program will be accepted until the deadline of Monday, March 31, 2025. Homeowners and residential tenants, small owner-operated businesses, and not-for-profit organizations may apply for assistance if they reside in the activation area.
Program guidelines, activation area maps, information sheets, and application forms can be found on the DRAO website.
DRAO is a program that can help with the recovery of costs after a natural disaster. Financial help from the program is limited to $250,000 per application, is subject to a $500 deductible (which may be waived for low-income households), and reimburses up to 90% of your total eligible costs with limits for emergency expenses, household appliances, and furnishings.
The DRAO program does not cover all costs. Eligible applicants may receive assistance for emergency expenses and for repair or replacement of essential property if they do not have insurance—or if their insurance is insufficient—to cover their essential costs according to the DRAO program guidelines. Damage due to sewer-backup is not eligible under the program. An exception is made for low-income households as defined by the guidelines. See details online.
In addition, eligible basement repairs are only allowed to the extent they are returned to a basic and safe state (e.g., stud walls and repairs to essential appliances such as furnaces and hot water heaters). Repairs to furnished basements are ineligible unless there is damage to an essential living space. See details online.
DRAO is a provincial program, and is not related to the various programs and initiatives that the City of Mississauga has undertaken related to localized flooding and flood recovery. Residents who do not reside in the DRAO activation area are still eligible for the other City programs and initiatives.
If you have any questions about the DRAO program, you may contact the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing program staff at: DisasterAssistance@Ontario.ca.

Important facts about stormwater
There are more than 51,000 storm drains in Mississauga, 1,900 km of storm sewer pipes, 270 km of ditches, 150 km of creeks, and 80 stormwater management facilities.
Valued at more than $7 billion, Mississauga’s stormwater drainage system requires constant care. Staff continue to assess and prioritize the most effective improvements to this aging infrastructure. Installing stormwater infrastructure requires a large investment up front, and it is expensive, but important to maintain.
Rebate programs
In February 2025, the City will be launching two additional rebate programs:
- Basement Flooding Prevention Rebate Program will provide rebates up to $6,800 for eligible flood prevention improvements.
- Flood Resilience Rebate Program will provide rebates of 50 per cent of the invoiced cost up to a maximum of $3,000 to cover costs associated with eligible measures taken to make improvements to your home to minimize flooding impact.
Other subsidies
Region of Peel Sanitary Backwater Valve Rebate (Current): The Region provides a $1,500 rebate for eligible homeowners to cover the cost of installing a sanitary backwater valve to reduce basement flooding due to sanitary back-ups of wastewater from the sanitary sewer.

Councillor Dasko is happy to share another update, as promised. Resulting from the last report and Councillor Dasko’s advocacy for his residents councils direction was to staff to come back to Council. Yesterday, on September 25, 2024 with Corporate Report: 10.2. entitled “Council Update – July and August 2024 Extreme Rainfall Events” (attached). This report, which was passed by Councillor Dasko and his colleagues unanimously, is an action-oriented approach to accelerating flood mitigation initiatives, inspection enhancements and increased maintenance and operation activities. Councillor Dasko has also attached his motion for your perusal which was again unanimously passed by all of council.
The following items were passed and are to be actioned:
- A Residential Compassionate Flood Relief Grant Program to provide a one-time grant of $1,000 to Mississauga residential property owners who incurred damages as a result of basement flooding following the weather events on July 16, 2024, or August 17 and 18, 2024, as a result of Councillor Dasko’s motion on September 11, 2024.
- A basement flooding prevention rebate program to provide up to $6,800 to make basement flood prevention improvements more affordable.
- With the number of staff meetings with Councillor Dasko he was pleased to see that staff were convinced to step up the timeline of new and accelerated stormwater projects, as outlined in the Project-based action plan includes accelerating the Design and Construction of the Dixie-Dundas Flood Mitigation Project by 6 years, including infrastructure improvement projects in 2025, 2026, 2027, with a completion year of 2028.
- Enhancements to routine maintenance of stormwater infrastructure
- City staff will work further with local authorities like the TRCA, Alectra, and the Emergency Management Team to identify opportunities to enhance public alerting to residents during localized flooding.
- Staff have been directed to prepare and submit applications to the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program – Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund (second intake- November 1, 2024) and Housing-Enabling Core Services Stream programs to support the Dixie-Dundas Flood Mitigation Project.
Furthermore, at the Region of Peel, Regional Council passed a motion on September 12, 2024 to have an increase in the Sanitary Backwater Valve Rebate Program. The program is available to property owners in priority areas in Peel who had experienced sanitary flooding because of a storm event in the past 10 years. Residents living in neighborhoods outside the priority areas can also apply for a subsidy if they have reported flooding to Peel Region in the past or have an insurance claim. Subsidies are 60% of the invoiced cost, up to a maximum $1,500. Residents are asked to call Peel Region at 905-791-7800 to confirm eligibility for the backwater valve subsidy before proceeding with an installation. For more information please visit peelregion.ca.
Please note that there will be an upcoming City-wide Public Information Session for 2024 Flood Events. Councillor Dasko will share more details when they are announced.

conditions. This urban area consists of a variety of
commercial, industrial, residential, and park land
uses. - The study area of this Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class
Environmental Assessment (EA) has been broken up
into the “Dixie Area” and the “Dundas Area” for
identifying flood mitigation solutions.

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, February 7th, 6:00pm to 9:00pm. 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)

The Mississauga Matters campaign focuses on getting housing built and keeping Mississauga affordable for all.
February 4, 2025
About Mississauga Matters
The City’s Mississauga Matters campaign ensures that all provincial candidates and major political parties recognize the significant role Mississauga plays in the province. The Mississauga Matters campaign will focus on two priority pillars; getting housing built and keeping Mississauga affordable for all. The priorities outlined within the campaign aim to strengthen the city and ensure stable funding for ongoing challenges like the housing crisis, the development of local and regionally connected transit and funding shortfalls for major projects rebuilding the Mississauga Hospital (The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital). Most of all, the priorities aim to keep Mississauga an affordable place to live.
While the City and the provincial government have tackled several important issues together, Mississauga is dedicated to advocating for the needs of its residents. The 2025 Mississauga Matters campaign focuses on the following priorities:
-
Getting housing built: Leveraging housing-enabling infrastructure
- Extending of the Dundas Bus Rapid Transit line, to reduce travel times for approximately 30,000 new daily riders and improve east-to-west connections across the GTHA.
- Expanding transit for all-day, two-way GO Service for the Milton GO Rail corridor, which serves approximately 8,000 businesses, supports more than 143,000 jobs, and is projected to serve up to 94,000 passengers by 2041.
- Advance funding and alignment confirmation for the Hazel McCallion Line Extension (Downtown Loop) Mississauga.
- A new transit facility to support the expansion of sustainable public transit in Mississauga, which is critical to increase housing availability in our community and achieve the Government of Ontario’s target of 120,000 new homes over the next 10 years.
- Expediting the approval of Mississauga’s applications to the Housing Enabling Water Systems Fund and the Housing Enabling Core Services Stream to support housing development initiatives and meet urgent community needs while providing flood protection for communities.
-
Keeping Mississauga affordable for all
- Addressing the housing crisis demands with feedback from our partnership with more than 30 experts from Ontario’s leading private and not-for-profit housing developers, who have developed actionable solutions. In July 2024, Mississauga launched a Mayor’s Housing Task Force with private and non-profit representatives to address housing supply challenges, building on the 2023 Housing Action Plan with strategic recommendations in development charges, building standards, zoning, and affordable housing funding.
- Supporting predictable funding for Mississauga by signing a new deal to provide equitable transit funding, recognizing Mississauga’s status as a major economic hub and one of the largest economic centres in both Ontario and Canada.
- Advocating a fair share deal for the Region of Peel and Mississauga, given the Region currently faces a deficit of $868 million annually, translating to a $578 per-person financial gap across Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon.
- Reconsider the amount expected from the Mississauga community for the local share needed for a new regional healthcare facility in Mississauga – the Mississauga Hospital rebuild.
- Removing the 5% payment in lieu of taxes (PILT) cap for the Greater Toronto Airports (GTAA). This ensures a more equitable formula that prevents tax increases on residents and businesses.
- Investing in solutions to Mississauga’s food insecurity crisis by prioritizing funding to support local food banks in Mississauga and support the Groceries and Essentials Benefit brought forward by Food Banks Canada, aimed to help struggling households afford vital costs like food and shelter.
The Mississauga Matters campaign will run throughout the provincial election as a way for residents to engage with the priorities that affect their lives ahead of voting day. The City is encouraging residents to join the conversation on social media and reach out to local candidates using the #MississaugaMatters hashtag.

The proposed LAC transformation will help Mississauga further solidify its position as a top destination for business, tourism and culture. This development will help fill a gap in Mississauga’s downtown, offering a much-needed venue for world-class conferences and business opportunities, while providing a space for international, national, and local events, as well as cultural showcases.
Located in the heart of Mississauga’s downtown core and near Toronto Pearson International Airport, the LAC is a hub for visitors from all over the world with a rapidly growing population and a strong business community. The City requires modern, versatile spaces to accommodate the demand for local, national and international events. The LAC has long been recognized as a cultural landmark housing performance theatres, an exhibition gallery, eight professional art studios and sophisticated meeting facilities.
The request for expressions of interest is now open to organizations interested in partnering with the City to reimagine the LAC lands. This process will help the City identify the best potential uses for the site.
For more information on how to submit an expression of interest, please visit our website.

Peel Regional Police is pleased to share that we have enhanced the online Crime Occurrence Mapping Application by extending the available date range from 12 months to 36 months (3 years). This improvement allows for a more comprehensive analysis to better identify crime trends, understand community safety needs and support data-driven decision-making. By improving accessibility and transparency to crime data, we aim to empower residents, businesses, and elected officials with critical information to enhance public safety in Peel Region.
The mapping tool provides valuable insights by allowing users to view crime occurrences within their neighborhoods and across Brampton and Mississauga. Users can search by crime type, date, municipality, street name, and municipal ward. The application also includes a hotspot map layer, highlighting areas with higher concentrations of specific crime types, such as break & enters, vehicle thefts, drug trafficking, and much more.
