As part of the update of the Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP), the Environment team has launched a new platform: Mississauga’s Climate Lab. The Climate Lab provides information on climate change, actions the City is currently taking, and the update of the plan. It also describes some climate actions that other cities are taking and asks participants if they would support similar actions in Mississauga.

BRAMPTON, ON (November 7, 2024) – We are pleased to announce that Ontario Health Central has named Peel Region as the Behavioural Supports Ontario Lead Agency for the Central West geography. Behavioural Supports Ontario (BSO) provides services for older adults in Ontario with, or at risk of, responsive behaviours associated with dementia or complex cognitive impairments.
This move aligns perfectly with Peel Region’s 2024-2029 Seniors Services Strategic Plan, which includes a strategic goal of facilitating integrated care through purposeful internal and external collaborations, and with Health Services’ vision of “building a healthier community, together”. Peel Region has developed specialized dementia expertise and is eager to share with the broader health care system, including the acute care and community care sectors.
Peel Region was chosen as the successful agency based on its knowledge and expertise in system leadership, integration and coordination, as well as their experience as a provider of long term care and services in the community support sector, including BSO initiatives. As the BSO Lead Agency, Peel Region will provide clinical leadership, planning, and operational oversight for integrated behavioural support services for seniors and looks forward to working with the community, acute and long term care sectors in close collaboration with Ontario Health.
Being selected as the BSO Lead Agency for Central West recognizes Peel as a system leader and innovator, and better positions the Region to further advocate and improve quality of care for people living with dementia and other complex cognitive conditions.
Quotations
“Seniors are the fastest growing age group in Peel Region and currently 93% of new admissions into Peel Region’s long term care centres have been diagnosed with dementia. We are committed to supporting a fast-growing senior’s population with increasingly complex care needs, in both Peel Region and the broader Central West Region, ensuring these people receive the right care in the right place close to home.”
Nando Iannicca, Regional Chair & CEO, Peel Region
“As a leader in innovative, high-quality seniors care, Peel Region is well positioned to take on the BSO Lead Agency role. This role will allow Peel Region to collaborate with system partners to advance care for people living with dementia and complex cognitive impairments, and ensure continuous improvement in the long term care, community, and acute care sectors across the broader Central West geography.”
Nancy Polsinelli, Commissioner of Health Services
Note that Peel Region’s Seniors Services, comprised of the Long Term Care and Seniors Services Development divisions, launched its 2024-2029 Strategic Plan on October 10, 2024, to help it stay focused on priorities as it supports a fast-growing senior’s population. Learn more here.

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 12th, from 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:
- 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)
