Council Approves Build Beautiful – the City’s New Stormwater Master Plan

By Announcement, Resources

Stormwater is the rain and melted snow that flows or runs off properties and roads that drains along streets, ditches, storm drains and watercourses into Lake Ontario. This week, Mississauga Council approved the City’s first Stormwater Master Plan, Build Beautiful. The long-term plan will be used to refine the City’s stormwater program, stormwater management systems and infrastructure.

“In Mississauga, we’re experiencing heavier rainfall and more severe storms related to climate change. Through the newly approved plan, the City can help address issues facing Mississauga today, including flooding, water quality and pollution while working to preserve our environment,” said Sam Rogers, Director, Infrastructure Planning and Engineering Services.

The Stormwater Master Plan builds on the City’s existing stormwater management program and outlines 22 actions with supporting activities and recommendations for managing rainwater in Mississauga.

Rogers added, “Freshwater is a scarce resource and Mississauga is fortunate to be located near the Great Lakes system, one of the largest freshwater resources in the world. Managing the City’s stormwater is very important. Rainwater and snowmelt end up in Lake Ontario, which is the City’s drinking water source. Stormwater management is crucial in protecting public safety and health, and works to reduce flood risks, control erosion and maintain water quality in local natural waterways.”

The City manages stormwater by planning, designing, constructing, operating and maintaining stormwater assets (i.e. sewers, catch basins, storm drains) within municipal roadways, public easements and other City lands. This includes:

  • Erosion and sediment control
  • Flood protection projects
  • Maintenance and repairs to existing infrastructure
  • Emergency response to flooding, spills and clean-up
  • Street sweeping
  • By-law enforcement to protect the environment and prevent interference with the operation of the stormwater management system

Climate Change and stormwater

The City’s Climate Change Action Plan identifies actions that the City plans to accomplish within the next five to ten years to mitigate and adapt to climate change. This includes several stormwater management actions to support resilient and sustainable infrastructure, including the recommendation to develop a Stormwater Master Plan.

Learn more about the City’s existing stormwater program and how the new Master Plan relates to climate change in Mississauga.

The City is working with its municipal partners, the Region of Peel, Credit Valley Conservation, Toronto Region Conservation Authority, Conservation Halton and Indigenous Peoples and Nations to ensure that the Build Beautiful plan continues to meet Mississauga’s changing needs now and in the future.

Telephone #               416-706-1114 Ext 3246/47

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, June 21, 2023, from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 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 MUSIC WALK OF FAME ANNOUNCES 2023 INDUCTEES

By Announcement, Events, Music, Ward 1

Maestro Denis Mastromonaco and the Mississauga Symphony Orchestra, and Juno Award winning singer and songwriter Suzie McNeil to be Inducted as part of this year’s Tim Horton’s Southside Shuffle Blues and Jazz Festival.

The Mississauga Music Walk of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place on September 10, 2023 at 11 am at Memorial Park’s Gazebo Stage in Port Credit, Ontario and the public is welcome to join the festivities.

The Mississauga Symphony Orchestra (MSO) is passionate about, and committed to, maintaining, and continuing the tradition of classical symphonic music in Mississauga. The MSO takes pride in their designation as the best hybrid orchestra in Canada, a term that describes an orchestra with a mixture of professional musicians and highly skilled amateurs. Under the direction of Maestro Denis Mastromonaco since 2013, the orchestra continues to offer entertaining and increasingly sophisticated programs performed to the highest artistic standards. With the inclusion of the Mississauga Symphony Youth Orchestra in 2014, the organization has become the centre of classical music in Mississauga, built around the pillars of music education, performance, and entertainment.

Suzie McNeil, born and raised in Mississauga, is a powerful vocalist, songwriter and talented performer who became a household name in 2005 when she was the last woman standing on the CBS reality show, Rockstar: INXS. She has since gone on to have eleven Top 20 hits in Canada including her hit song ‘Believe’ which she performed at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics Closing Ceremonies. In addition to having the exciting opportunity to sing back up for P!NK on her North American Tour, she has also performed with Alan Frew, Jeff Healey, Blue Rodeo, Dave Navarro, Scott Weiland, Gavin Rossdale, Clay Aitkin, and Foreigner. Recently, Suzie made history by joining Aerosmith on their Las Vegas residency, singing backup vocals with Steven Tyler, and has just announced that she will be joining Aerosmith on their “Peace Out” farewell tour. They will be coming to Toronto just 2 days after the Walk Of Fame ceremony on September 12 at the Scotiabank Centre, where she will perform with Aerosmith in front of a hometown crowd.

About the Mississauga Music Walk of Fame:

Established in 2012 by the late Mississauga City Councilor Jim Tovey, a former musician, the MMWF features Mississauga musicians and Industry leaders who have made a significant contribution to the world of music. Previous inductees include the great Oscar Peterson, Gil Moore and Rik Emmett of Triumph, Ronnie Hawkins, Tommy Hunter, Denny Doherty of the Mamas and Papas, Jeff Healey, Phil X of Bon Jovi, Liberty Silver, Alessia Cara, and many more.
