Large Event Application for Celebration Square

By Events

We’re excited to share that we have launched the 2024 Large Event Application for Celebration Square. As you know, our events on Celebration Square play an important part in adding vibrancy to our city and provide unforgettable experiences for all attendees. For next year, we’ll see a combination of cultural community-led events, Tourism events and City-produced events, such as Canada Day & National Indigenous Peoples Day Celebrations.

Groups interested in hosting a large event at Celebration Square can participate in this competitive process, with applications due by October 20th.  Once submitted, all applications will be evaluated by the independent Mississauga Celebration Square Community Reference Group later this year.  As is our typical process, we will share an update to Council with the full event calendar for 2024 once finalized.

To improve the visitor’s experience and safety onsite, this year we will be we will be implementing a new standard site map for event organizers.  This site map applies best practices and consistency, including a maximum of 70 vendors onsite and pre-defined locations for beer gardens, portolets, barricades and emergency services.

We’re looking forward to another exciting event season at the square!

Project #: C-602954

Telephone #: 416- 706- 1114 ext. 3246/3247          

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 September 27 from approximately 8:30am to 5:00pm. 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:

Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services joins Ontario for first-ever Test Your Smoke Alarm Day

By Events

Mississauga is joining communities across Ontario by creating awareness about the importance of testing smoke alarms. Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services (MFES) is encouraging all residents to test smoke alarms in their homes on Thursday, September 28 as part of the Province’s first-ever Test Your Smoke Alarm Day.

A colourful graphic asking people to test their smoke alarm

“Smoke alarms save lives. Test Your Smoke Alarm Day is a reminder for us all to double-check our smoke alarms. This small action could save someone’s life during a fire,” said Deryn Rizzi, Mississauga Fire Chief and Director of Emergency Management. “I ask all Mississauga residents to push the test button on their smoke alarms to see if they are working. You might need to install a new alarm or need to put in new batteries.”

Last year, Ontario lost more than 130 people to deadly fires – the highest number in more than 20 years. The high fatality rate is cause for concern as many of these deaths could have been prevented if there was a working smoke alarm.

Rizzi added, “I encourage you to help those in the community and in your neighbourhood like seniors and those with mobility issues to test out their smoke alarms.”

Learn more about Test Your Smoke Alarm Day at savedbythebeep.ca. There are many resources available for families.

With smoke alarms, remember that:

  • You need to follow the law. Smoke alarms must be installed on every storey of a residence in Ontario, including vacation homes, cabins, trailers, RVs and cottages.
  • Property owners must test alarms every year, after the battery is replaced, and after every change in tenancy. Renters are also responsible for notifying their property owners as soon as they become aware that a smoke alarm is not operating.
  • Smoke alarms should be tested at least once a month. In addition, replace smoke alarms every 10 years, according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  • There are many types of smoke alarms. Smoke alarms can be hard-wired, battery operated or both. If you need to replace a single malfunctioning alarm, make sure the new alarm is compatible with the existing units. For example, you cannot replace a hard-wired smoke alarm with a battery-operated smoke alarm.
  • Do not remove the battery if a smoke alarm starts beeping frequently due to cooking, baking, or using the shower.

Another First for Ward 1 and Our Community!

By Announcement, Parks, Stephen’s Initiatives, Ward 1

I am very excited to announce that construction has begun for the refrigerated ice rink in Port Credit’s Memorial Park!

While preserving the existing topography of the park, the design of the loop will be 3.5 metres wide (11 feet wide) and 200 metres long (over 700 feet long). It will be a walking track in the summer season and will add to the functionality during festival seasons.
Coming this Winter 2023 !!
