BRAMPTON, ON (November 4, 2024) – Regional Council has approved the proposed strategic priorities for Peel’s early years and child care system for 2025-2030. As the Service System Manager, Peel must develop a plan with system priorities for Peel’s early years and child care every five years.
Peel consulted with 1,800 parents and caregivers, 430 children, and service providers who identified key issues impacting families as: Access, Affordability, Quality, Accountability, and Diversity and Inclusion.
In presenting the strategic priorities to Council, staff reported on the key achievements made by Early Years and Child Care Services over the past five years. Since 2019 when the current system plan was launched, Peel’s investments and achievements have included:
The current system plan ends on December 31, 2024. The new one will be released in 2025 and will address both gaps and opportunities to move Peel’s early years and child care system forward over the next five years.
“Peel’s families are always at the centre of what we do in Early Years and Child Care. Our system is on the cusp of a major transformation with the implementation of the Canada Wide Early Learning and Child Care plan.
To successfully implement this transformation and achieve these positive outcomes for children and families, we require a shared commitment from all partners to build on existing strengths and move the recommended priorities forward.”
Nakiema Palmer, Director Early Years and Child Care, Peel Region

The Peel Region 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 Tuesday, November 5th, 9:00am 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.
Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption
As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:
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:
If you have any questions, please contact us.

The City is reviewing ways to give residents more flexibility to build semi-detached and smaller detached homes in residential neighbourhoods.
The City’s Zoning By-law regulates the types of buildings that can be built in different parts of the city and how those buildings are used. Updating the city’s neighbourhood zoning to allow more semi-detached and smaller detached homes is one way to add density in a gentle way. It’s also a creative way to bring more housing to areas of the city which lack open parcels of developable land.
The City is holding three community meetings to get feedback on its neighbourhood zoning review. This includes:
The aim is to give residents more flexibility and low-rise housing options on their properties by removing barriers for detached and semi-detached homes on smaller lots.
The neighbourhood zoning review is the next phase in the City’s Increasing Housing Choices in Neighbourhoods (IHCN) work. Since 2021, IHCN has established new rules for additional residential units such as garden suites, garage conversions and laneway suites as well as fourplexes.
What: Neighbourhood zoning review virtual community engagement meetings
When: There are three virtual sessions available for different areas of the city:
Residents are encouraged to attend the session tailored for their area, but are welcome to join any meeting that fits their schedule. The City’s Find My Ward map is available for those who want to determine the most appropriate meeting date based on their area.
For those unable to attend, a recorded presentation will be posted on the project website once the meetings are complete. Comments and questions are welcome anytime.
Where: Register online by visiting the YourSay – Increasing Housing Choices in Neighbourhoods website.

As part of our planning process, we’d like to engage with the community to inform the programming offerings within the facility to ensure we’re meeting needs. As part of our efforts to get feedback from residents, we will be conducting the following:
Mississauga needs more housing options for families, older adults, students and the next generation who want to live in the city.
Currently, many homes in our neighbourhoods are located on large lots with two or fewer residents. The result is that some neighbourhoods are seeing their populations shrink despite a city-wide need for more housing.
The City’s Zoning By-law regulates the types of buildings that can be built in different parts of the city and how those buildings are used. Updating the City’s neighbourhood zoning to allow more housing choices like semi-detached and smaller detached homes is one way to add density in a gentle way.
You’re invited to join an upcoming virtual community meeting to learn more about the neighbourhood zoning review:
* Northern Mississauga (Wards 5, 9, 10, 11): Thursday, November 7 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
* Central Mississauga (Wards 3, 4, 6, 7): Thursday, November 14 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
* Southern Mississauga (Wards 1, 2, 8): Thursday, November 21 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
Residents are encouraged to attend the session for their ward, but are welcome to join any meeting that fits their schedule.
