In 2025, Mississauga welcomed nearly 4,000 new jobs and $1.7 billion in corporate investment, according to Site Selection’s award details. The recognition reflects the strength of Mississauga’s diverse economy and its continued appeal to investors in sectors including advanced manufacturing, logistics, life sciences, technology and financial services. Key events and achievements contributed to the award.

Invest Mississauga

Invest Mississauga continued to attract new business opportunities through international outreach and business development initiatives, including a Global Affairs Canada-led mission to Zurich and London. The team also led sector-focused business engagement with life sciences, advanced manufacturing and technology industry leaders in Canada and key international markets.

Invest Mississauga welcomed the City’s film, television and music production office into its portfolio and helped advance the local creative economy. In addition, Council made the City’s live music grant program permanent, strengthening support for the cultural sector.

Examples of recent investments contributing to Mississauga’s growth include:

Mississauga to receive up to $401.4 million to support housing and community infrastructure

By Announcement, Planning & Development

The City’s efforts to make it easier to build new homes, including significant development charge reductions, helped secure the substantial new funding.

City building | September 3, 2026

Today, the governments of Ontario and Canada announced up to $401.4 million in funding to help Mississauga build housing-enabling infrastructure including important new transit projects.Mayor Carolyn Parrish and Members of Council joined Ontario Premier Doug Ford for today’s official announcement alongside Rob Flack, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Jennifer McKelvie, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Member of Parliament for Ajax, and Peter Fonseca, Member of Parliament for Mississauga-East Cooksville.The funding, part of the Development Charges Reduction Program, helps municipalities who have reduced development charges invest in the infrastructure they need to support growth. It is part of the broader Canada-Ontario Partnership to Build.

Mississauga was one of the first cities in Ontario to substantially reduce development charges – by up to 100 per cent – to help get more homes built and make them more affordable. The City has agreed to maintain these reductions until March 31, 2029.

New infrastructure funding

The new funding will help support housing-enabling infrastructure including two key transit projects: a new zero-emissions transit maintenance and storage facility and new downtown transit mobility hub. As Canada’s seventh largest city, significant investment in transit infrastructure is critical to support new housing development.

These investments, which the City has long advocated for, will help support Mississauga’s growing population and deliver lasting benefits for residents and businesses.

New transit maintenance and storage facility

The City is planning a new zero-emission transit facility on City-owned land at 7300 West Credit Avenue to support future growth and improve service.

The City is projecting a 50 per cent increase in transit ridership by 2035 requiring 250 additional buses. MiWay currently operates from its Edward J. Dowling Transit Facility and Malton Satellite Facility. Both facilities are operating at full capacity, which limits fleet expansion and service improvements.

The City’s Climate Change Action Plan calls for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, making the transition to a zero-emission transit fleet a key priority. The new zero emissions facility will help MiWay switch its bus fleet to cleaner technology, expand capacity and improve transit service.

New downtown transit mobility hub

Mississauga’s downtown is growing rapidly. It is currently home to 36,000 residents and over 1,100 businesses. It is an important retail and commercial centre and key transportation gateway. Mississauga’s downtown population is expected to more than double by 2051.

The City is planning a new Downtown Transit Mobility Hub that will expand the City Centre Transit Terminal and bring together local and regional transit services, including the Hazel McCallion LRT. The hub will provide a central gateway for seamless connections, improve transit reliability and support future ridership growth. It will also support transit-oriented development.

The hub will better integrate transit within the City’s walking, cycling and road networks. This will make it easier for people to travel between homes, jobs, businesses and downtown destinations.

The hub is currently moving through the Transit and Rail Project Assessment Process (TRPAP). A TRPAP is a provincial approval process that helps ensure transit projects are planned responsibly and with public input. The TRPAP is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. The project will then move into design, positioning it for construction to help drive the transformation of Mississauga’s downtown.

This important transit investment will help shape a more connected and vibrant downtown that supports new housing, economic development and improved access to key destinations.

Next steps

The funding is subject to the City signing a Canada-Ontario Build Communities Strong Fund bilateral agreement and Transfer Payment Agreement with the province. It is also subject to further due diligence and confirmation of approved projects from both levels of government.

Mississauga’s housing reforms

In addition to significantly reducing development charges, Mississauga has introduced a range of housing-focused measures to support new development and improve affordability. Visit Mississauga.ca/housing to learn more.

Quote

“Mississauga acted early to help get more homes built and make them more affordable for our residents. Today’s announcement demonstrates the value of that leadership. This significant investment from our government partners will help us deliver the infrastructure needed to support new homes in every neighbourhood. It will also help better connect residents and visitors to our downtown. Together with our government partners, we are building the homes, transit connections and community assets needed for a growing city.” – Mayor Carolyn Parrish

First human case of West Nile virus in 2026 confirmed in Peel region

By Announcement, Resources

First human case of West Nile virus in 2026 confirmed in Peel region

BRAMPTON, ON (September 2, 2026) – Peel Public Health has confirmed the first human case of West Nile virus in Peel region this year. It is a reminder for residents to take precautions against mosquito bites, even into the fall months.

West Nile virus is passed to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Most people infected with the virus do not develop symptoms. In some cases, symptoms may include fever, headache, body aches, fatigue, nausea, vomiting or skin rash. Rarely, the virus can cause serious illness, such as swelling of the brain or spinal cord.

Older adults, people with weakened immune systems, and those with certain chronic conditions are at higher risk for serious complications.

Peel Public Health identified the first mosquitoes positive for West Nile virus this season on July 27, 2026. Since then, the health unit has continued to monitor mosquito activity across Brampton, Mississauga and Caledon through its annual surveillance program.

Residents are encouraged to protect themselves from mosquito bites by:

  • Applying an approved insect repellent containing an ingredient effective against mosquitoes, such as DEET or icaridin, to exposed skin and clothing. Read and follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe use.

 

  • Avoiding areas with large mosquito populations and taking extra precautions between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active, and at any time in or near shady, wooded areas.

 

  • Wearing light-coloured, tightly woven, loose-fitting clothing such as long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, shoes, and socks to protect exposed skin.

 

  • Making sure all window and door screens fit securely and are free of tears and holes.

 

  • Keeping rain barrels tightly covered with screen mesh.

 

  • Removing or draining items on your property that collect standing water. Water that is stagnant for more than seven days is an ideal breeding site for mosquitoes. You can report stagnant water sites to Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700 or online.

 

NOTE: Infants younger than 6 months old, should not use an insect repellent containing DEET or icaridin. Instead, use a mosquito net when babies are outdoors in a crib or stroller.

Residents can register online to receive email notifications and information about where mosquitos have tested positive for West Nile virus were found in Peel.

For more information about West Nile virus, visit our website or call Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, or toll-free at 1-888-919-7800.

Quotations

“The first human case of West Nile virus this year is an important reminder that infected mosquitoes remain active in our community. While the overall risk of getting a West Nile virus infection is lower during the fall months, this case reinforces the importance of residents protecting themselves against mosquito bites.”

Mississauga stands ready to defend local jobs and small and medium-sized businesses at risk from unfair tariffs

By Announcement, Resources

Staff are examining ways to support jobs while awaiting federal or provincial tariff relief.

Local government | August 25, 2026

Today, in light of unfair trade tariffs, Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish met with the President and CEO of the Mississauga Board of Trade David Wojcik, the City’s Acting Chief Administrative Officer, and the Director of Economic Development to map out ways the City can advocate for and support small and medium-sized businesses and jobs disrupted by uncertainty.The suspension of trade negotiations and escalation of US tariff policies against Canada present a significant and ongoing threat to Mississauga’s businesses and workers.

Mississauga’s economy is particularly vulnerable to US tariffs: 18 per cent of total employment – roughly 89,000 jobs – is tied directly to US exports. Key areas affected include automotive parts, machinery and electronics, plastics and rubber, furniture, and steel and aluminum products.

As a City, we are determined to stand up and defend these jobs and sectors. We are encouraged that the federal government today is rolling out rapid assistance to workers and businesses hit by this latest trade and economic turbulence.

These troubling trade developments imperil jobs and risk a spike in inflation. That is why we are exploring ways in which to help our local businesses.

Additionally, before today’s federal announcement, staff have already applied for $1.5 million in funding under the federal Regional Tariff Response Initiative (RTRI). Securing this funding would help us deliver a trade mission acceleration program designed to help Mississauga’s small and medium-sized businesses diversify into non-US markets through export readiness training and trade missions.

It is clear that we must diversify our international trade partnerships. Mississauga has always been open to the world. That openness will facilitate an expansion of productive and solid international partnerships.

The City’s Partners in Trade roundtable will be consulted for further input from members on this critical, developing issue.
