NOTICE OF BRIEF WATER INTERRUPTION Watermain Replacement and Improvement on Lakeshore Road West from Jack Darling Memorial Park to Shawnmarr Road Richard’s Memorial Park at 804 Lakeshore Road West Jack Darling Memorial Park at 1180 Lakeshore Road West Peel Paramedic Station at 1188 Lakeshore Road West 1050 to 1055 Shawnmarr Road

By Stephen DaskoResources, Ward 1

On Thursday March 27, 2025, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., please expect a loss of water pressure and a brief water outage (roughly 30 minutes) while we work in your area. 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.

Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption
If you are a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:
 Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may
affect internal systems that rely on water such as boilers, fire suppression, and alarms.
 Notify the fire alarm company if the interruption could affect an alarm system.
 Have a fire watch completed during the water interruption, as the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function when the water supply is shut off.

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). 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 the water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:
 905-791-7800, extension 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
 905-791-7800 extension 4409 (after hours or statutory holidays)

Peel Regional Police Update: Launch of Youth Engagement Strategy

By Stephen DaskoAnnouncement, Resources, Youth

On Friday March 21st, 2025, Peel Regional Police launched a progressive and forward-thinking strategy that is aimed at shaping the service’s future engagement with youth, parents/guardians and community partners who serve youth.

Their new Youth Engagement Strategy will be carried out in consultation with community partners and youth over the coming years. This will include the creation of specific initiatives, such as establishing a youth mentorship program, providing training opportunities for PRP members to better engage with youth, and strengthening support to youth affected by hate and bias.

In 2024, a survey and focus groups were conducted to provide an independent, unbiased lens on youth safety, policing and police interaction with youth within Mississauga and Brampton. This research will help to shape the development of new programs and the refinement of existing ones.

PRP has several existing programs that bring young people and officers together in the spirit of cooperation, education and mentorship, including the Youth In Policing Initiative, the Young Women’s Mentorship Program which is aimed at empowering at-risk girls by fostering leadership skills, building confidence and providing mentorship opportunities, and the Boys to Men Program – an initiative designed to provide at-risk boys with guidance, support and positive role models.

The new strategy builds on the foundation of these and other existing programs and is designed to encourage a positive relationship between youth and police and to ensure youth feel comfortable engaging with police officers, something that ultimately supports the safety and well-being of youth and the broader community.

Please take a moment to view the Youth Engagement Strategy here.

City awards funding for affordable rental units in eight new Mississauga developments

By Stephen DaskoAnnouncement, Planning & Development

The funding will help get more than 1,400 new rental units under construction including 25 per cent with more affordable or below-market rents.

March 24, 2025

Today at Planning and Development Committee, Mississauga will formally announce the recipients of the City’s $44 million Affordable Rental Housing incentive program. The program, funded in part, by the federal Housing Accelerator Fund, will kick-off a new wave of purpose-built rental construction citywide.Since 2005, only 2,200 rental units have been constructed in Mississauga. This funding will immediately unlock more than 1,400 shovel-ready rental units including almost 400 with more affordable rents.

As the City works to address the housing crisis, this represents another bold step to expand the supply of affordable rental housing for Mississauga residents.

Approved in July 2024, the incentive program is designed to help quickly increase Mississauga’s supply of affordable and below-market rental units. It offers financial incentives for private and non-profit rental developers including capital grants per affordable unit and waivers/grants for certain municipal fees and charges.

Successful applicants

The City received 12 applications from a variety of non-profit and private sector developers during an open call for applications. Located in six of the City’s 11 wards, the eight successful developments will bring:

1,450 new purpose-built rental units including 384 units with more affordable rents
- 261 units with affordable rents – which means rent is at or below 100 per cent of average market rent ($1,625 per month maximum for a 1-bedroom unit)
- 123 units with below market rents – which means rents are below 125 per cent of average market rent ($2,031 maximum for a 1-bedroom unit)
A variety of unit sizes including 200 family-sized units (two or more bedrooms)

Average market rent is published annually by Canada Home and Mortgage Corporation (CHMC) and refers to the value of all units in the primary rental market (including older units, rent controlled etc.). Average market rent is typically lower than the rents landlords advertise for new tenants.

Financial incentives

The funding is designed for shovel-ready projects that have demonstrated they are ready to start construction within the next two years.

Successful applicants will receive a set capital grant per affordable unit ($130,000 per unit for affordable units or $60,000 per unit per below-market unit). They will also receive waivers/grants for certain municipal fees and charges. The funding will be issued approximately one month after building permit issuance provided all eligibility requirements are met.

Units that are funded through the program must meet minimum unit sizes and remain affordable for a minimum of 25 years.

Mississauga needs more purpose-built rentals

Purpose-built rentals are built specifically for the rental market – unlike private condominiums which are often used as rentals but offer fewer protections for tenants.

In recent years, Mississauga’s development has been almost entirely comprised of market condominiums. In the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area, which includes Mississauga, approximately 60 per cent of apartment condominium units built between 2016-2021 were occupied by renters.

Getting more purpose-built rental housing under construction in Mississauga is important and is a key action under the City’s housing plan and the Mayor’s Housing Task Force. These types of homes are more attainable for people who are new to the housing market or who have moderate incomes. They also provide more security for tenants over the long-term.

Next steps

City staff will work with successful applicants as their projects move towards Building Permit issuance to ensure they continue to meet all necessary eligibility requirements.

Fact Sheet
