Check out some of these outdoor activities and amenities that you can enjoy safely in Mississauga.
Go for a wintery walk along one of Mississauga’s trails
The majority of the City’s trails receive regular winter maintenance and can be safely used and explored by outdoor enthusiasts. However, trails that do not receive winter maintenance are still used in the snowy months by residents who enjoy activities including snowshoeing and deep-snow hiking. This year, the City will be adding additional woodchips to the woodlot trails to help with traction. The trails will also be marked for winter use.
Take advantage of the City’s available park amenities
The below park amenities will be open this year for use by the community. Visit the City’s interactive map to search for a park by location or filter parks for specific features, including those listed below:
Park washrooms designed for year-round use will remain open this season with enhanced cleaning practices. Portable washrooms will also be placed later this month in high-demand locations and key trail areas. The washrooms will be winterized and accessible and will be located in areas that receive winter maintenance. See the list of public washrooms and portable washrooms here.
As close contact increases the highest risk of COVID-19 transmission, it is crucial that residents
observe outdoor etiquette to help keep everyone safe. This includes keeping their distance from others and passing safely while using the same trails and pathways. Also, even when outdoors, wear a face covering if physical distancing cannot be maintained.

Mississauga City Council held a Special Council Meeting this morning and voted unanimously in support of changing the composition of the Region of Peel Council. The Council of the Regional Municipality of Peel is composed of 25 members, including a chair. The changes would see City of Brampton’s representation increase to nine members (from seven), Town of Caledon’s representation decrease to three members (from five) and City of Mississauga to remain the same with 12 members.
“This is a step in the right direction to achieve a more balanced approach based on population,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “We have reviewed many scenarios and reallocating seats was the only way to achieve greater fairness.” Read More
