Looking for a summer job that builds real-world skills, and looks great on your résumé?
The City of Mississauga is hiring students for summer camp positions across the city in areas including sports, theatre, visual arts, museums and more.
Whether you’re saving for school, gaining experience in your field, or just want a meaningful job close to home, we’ve got opportunities that help you grow while making a positive impact in your community.
Whether you’ve been driving for years or are just getting behind the wheel for the first time, following road rules and being alert while out and about ensures the safety of everyone on Mississauga roadways.
One challenge that we often see on the roads is blocking intersections. Blocking an intersection might seem like a small mistake, but it has significant consequences for traffic flow and road safety. When drivers enter an intersection without enough space to clear it, they can unintentionally create ripple effects that can impact all road users.
Blocking intersections is disruptive and hazardous for many reasons, including:
* Disrupting traffic flow. When a vehicle stops in the middle of an intersection, it prevents cross-traffic from moving even when they have the right of way. This can cause congestion and delays beyond the intersection itself.
* Interfering with emergency vehicles and public transit needing to cross the intersection in a timely manner. When an intersection is blocked, emergency vehicles like fire trucks, ambulances and police cars may be delayed, which can have serious consequences. Similarly, bus schedules can be impacted causing major delays on their routes.
* Blocking pedestrians and cyclists’ crosswalks and crossrides. Blocking an intersection might force a pedestrian or a cyclist to go around the car to cross the street which puts them in danger of getting hit by oncoming traffic.
* Increasing the risk of collision if drivers try to maneuver around the blocked area.
Avoiding blocked intersections is simple. Be alert when driving, look ahead and wait until there’s enough space to clear the intersection before entering it. If you follow these few steps, you ensure a smoother commute and safer roads for everyone.

Hydro One is scheduled to complete vegetation maintenance in the high-voltage transmission corridor that runs along Nine Creeks Trail. Please see the notice below with map for the full work area as it extends into Ward 1.
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 to adjacent property owners and engage residents that have work required on their property. 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 along impacted parks and community trails and our staff will re-direct community members around the closures. This work is expected to begin the week of February 16, 2026.

Mississauga prioritizes investments in transit, enforcement, safety and well-being, and infrastructure, while keeping tax increase under inflation.
January 28, 2026
The City of Mississauga’s 2026 Budget has been adopted. This budget addresses community priorities to keep property taxes affordable while continuing to deliver more than 200 City programs and services, maintaining and building important infrastructure. The 2026 Budget was a collaborative process, including recommendations from City staff and leadership to align with taxpayer priorities. Members of the public provided feedback at more than a dozen ward townhalls, Budget Committee meetings and through other City channels.
When creating the 2026 Budget, the City listened to taxpayers’ requests to keep taxes as low as possible. The City took specific actions to reduce the tax burden:
As Mississauga is part of the Region of Peel, taxpayers will see City and Regional tax increases on their tax bill. For 2026, the City’s budget increase is 4.39 per cent, and its share of the property tax increase is 1.61 per cent, which is lower than the current rate of inflation. When the City’s portion is added to the Region of Peel’s 3.60 per cent increase, the total property tax increase for 2026 is 5.21 per cent. This is four per cent less than the increase in 2025. In actual amounts, this is $53.91 more in taxes for every $100,000 assessed value of your home. For example, if a home is $700,000, the overall property tax increase is $377.37 for 2026.
From every property tax dollar collected, the City gets to keep only 37 cents, while 48 cents goes to the Region of Peel for police and other essential services, and 15 cents goes to the Government of Ontario for education. As part of the 2026 Budget, the City’s 37 cents will be used to deliver high-quality programs, services and amenities, including:
