Each year, MiWay offers free transit to those who have served in the Canadian military on the day of the Warriors’ Day Parade. Although this year’s parade was cancelled again in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, MiWay will continue to honour this annual tradition. The parade has been held annually since 1921. Read More

The City of Mississauga is seeking public feedback on proposed changes to its Public and Private Tree By-laws. Changes are required as the existing tree by-laws no longer meet urban forestry standards. Over the last decade, the City has been making an effort to preserve, enhance and protect trees. Updates will help enhance the protection and safety of all trees in Mississauga on both public and private property. The public can provide feedback through an online survey or by attending a virtual public meeting on Wednesday, September 15 (6-7:30 p.m.). Feedback collected will help City staff make necessary updates to both of the tree by-laws. Read More

City contracted crews (Colonial Tree Service) will be working in the ward to remove Ash trees infested with Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Crews will be practicing social distancing and appropriate signage will be posted.
Crews will be working Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. After the initial tree removal, crews will remove the tree stumps, repair the ground with topsoil and reseed. All works will be weather dependant.
All City-owned park trees removed due to EAB will be replanted over several years. This is due to the high number of trees removed from parks, the short planting season and weather conditions.
Forestry is currently working on plans to replant woodlots. Each woodlot is unique and will require additional work to create individual plans for each site. For some, that may mean letting them regenerate naturally while others will have trees replanted.
