Mississauga Ward 1 Coun. Stephen Dasko, in a post to social media, described the Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area as “an incredible collaborative initiative that will be 64 acres along Mississauga’s shoreline.”
Construction of the new trails and other park infrastructure began in fall 2023.
Project leaders have said their more recent focus has been on “creating a unique space for the public to enjoy” once the conservation area opens.
“Through consultation with our Indigenous partners, community advisory members and partner organizations, we‘re planning to build an accessible network of trails, boardwalks, lookouts and gathering spaces,” CVC said in an earlier project update. “These new amenities will provide scenic connections to the lake, wetlands, grasslands and forest environments at the conservation area, showcasing the diverse cultural and ecological history of the site.”
