Upcoming NAV CANADA Flight Checks: First semi-annual test

By Announcement

NAV Canada regularly conducts instrument landing system (ILS) check at Toronto Pearson. This is a routine operation that ensures the accuracy and safety of the country’s navigation aids and instrument approach procedures. The ILS is a precision approach system that provides navigational guidance signals and information on a cockpit display to guide pilots accurately to the point of landing in periods of poor visibility.

The first semi-annual test of 2024 will take place between January 15-16 from approx. 11:30PM to 4:00AM (weather contingencies on January 17-19) and will involve all runways at Toronto Pearson. It will take approximately 20 minutes per runway.

Pre-approved flights do operate in the overnight hours in accordance with the Night Flight Restriction program in effect between 12:30AM and 6:30AM. However, given that the flight checks will involve flight patterns of repeated approaches for the runways at varying combinations of height, speed, and direction, we wanted to inform you that there might be noise impacts in your riding.

We have already posted the information on our Noise Advisory Calendar, and will also be posting a message on WebTrak.

Affected residents can feel free to reach out to the Toronto Pearson Noise Management Office directly if they have any questions or wish to submit a noise complaint:

  • Online using WebTrak or the complaint form
  • By phone 416-247-7682

By Resources, Ward 1

INTERRUPTION DETAILS

Date and Time: Wednesday, January 10th, from 9:00 am to 5:00pm

Location: 1517 Leda Avenue                              

Addresses Affected: 1511-1556 Leda Ave, 479 Lynd Ave & 1540 Garnet Ave

The Region of Peel 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 Wednesday, January 10th, from approximately 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.

If this interruption may affect an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them.  During the time that the water supply is interrupted, the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function.  A fire watch should be performed as necessary during time period.

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). Flush the toilets as well. 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 your water meter (usually located in the basement).  If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:

  • (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
  • (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 4409 (After hours or Statutory Holidays)

Celebrate with fireworks at home on New Year’s Eve

By Announcement, Events

As the year comes to an end, it’s time to gear up for 2024 and all that it has in store! If you’re planning to celebrate the occasion at your home in Mississauga, you’ll be happy to know that you’re allowed to set off fireworks on your private property from dusk on Sunday, December 31, 2023 until 1 a.m. on New Year’s Day – Monday, January 1, 2024.

To use fireworks on a public street or a City park, residents must obtain a permit from the City.

To dispose of used or unused fireworks, completely submerge the fireworks in water and soak them overnight. Wrap the soaked fireworks in a plastic bag to keep them from drying out, and dispose of them in your garbage bin.

Additional important reminders

The winter holidays are an extremely busy time of year for most residents. Be kind to your neighbours and remember to put safety first, no matter where you celebrate. Make the most of your celebrations by being prepared and planning your events with safety in mind.

Mississauga residents can make a complaint for illegal use of fireworks on private property or City parks by calling 311 or submitting a complaint online at mississauga.ca/fireworks. To report fireworks on public roadways, residents should contact Peel Regional Police using the non-emergency number: 905-453-3311.

You can also celebrate the New Year by joining other Mississauga residents at Mississauga’s Celebration Square for entertainment and fireworks on December 31st!

Enjoy and be safe.

To learn more or apply for a permit, go to mississauga.ca/fireworks. For additional questions, call 311 or review the City’s fireworks by-law.

Background

The City of Mississauga has a Fireworks By-law to regulate the setting off of fireworks within Mississauga. The City’s Fireworks By-law was updated on December 1, 2023 to allow fireworks until 11 p.m. on designated holidays except for New Year’s Eve, when fireworks are allowed until 1 a.m. on New Year’s Day.

The designated holidays when fireworks are permitted until 11 p.m. include Victoria Day, Canada Day, Lunar New Year and Diwali. Mississauga residents can use fireworks on these five designated holidays at home on their private property without needing to obtain a permit from the City. As of December 1, 2023, the maximum fine for the illegal use of fireworks increased to $100,000.
