National Work Zone Awareness Week – April 21st to 25th, 2025

By Announcement

BRAMPTON, ON (April 21, 2025) – Today is the beginning of National Work Zone Awareness Week, an annual campaign recognized throughout North America at the start of construction season that encourages everyone to use extra caution and drive safely in work zones.

This year’s theme is ‘respect the zone so we all get home.’

National Work Zone Awareness Week aims to emphasize to drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike that safety in work zones is a responsibility we all share. With road maintenance and construction season beginning in Peel, all road users are reminded to slow down and exercise caution when travelling through work zones to protect workers and ensure that everyone makes it home safely.

What is a work zone?

A work zone is an area where construction is taking place on a road. This includes stationary as well as moving work zones, such as line painting vehicles. Construction zones can impact visibility, speed limits, lane access, turning ability, bike lanes, and sidewalks.

When travelling through a work zone, keep the following tips in mind:

  • Slow down: As you approach a construction zone, be prepared to stop and ensure workers have the room to work safely.
  • Be aware: Follow all signage posted in work zones. Signs warn of the construction zone and provide direction on how to pass through safely.
  • Keep your distance: Be alert and expect the unexpected. Closed lanes, reduced speeds, and shifts in traffic patterns are common.
  • Stay focused: Keep your eyes on the road. Avoid distractions such as using your cell phone while driving.

Work zones can also be avoided by planning ahead. Use our construction projects map to view current and upcoming work on Peel routes.

Peel Region is committed to Vision Zero and is working to prevent injuries and fatalities resulting from collisions on our roads. Vision Zero focuses on everyone’s responsibility to be aware of their surroundings and follow the rules of the road.

For more information on work zone safety in Peel, visit peelregion.ca/construction/projects/work-zone-safety.

 

Quotations

“We’re all road users, whether we drive, cycle, walk, or take transit. Construction in Peel is building the foundation for a better future that benefits everyone, so it’s important we all do our part to improve road safety. Slowing down, keeping a safe distance, and staying focused in work zones isn’t always easy, but they’re essential steps to help ensure everyone makes it home safely.”

– Kealy Dedman, Commissioner of Public Works.

Supporting National Immunization Awareness Week

By Announcement

About National Immunization Awareness Week

Each April during National Immunization Awareness Week, we highlight the importance of vaccines in protecting people of all ages from preventable diseases.

This year’s theme reminds the public that vaccines changed our health landscape for the better. As time progressed, more and more diseases became preventable by vaccination, and health outcomes greatly improved. We don’t want to turn the clock back to former times.

Peel’s 2025 focus

With measles cases on the rise both globally and locally this year, the Region of Peel is sharing messages that highlight the importance of staying protected against measles — a highly contagious but preventable disease.

We’re encouraging residents to:

  1. Check if they are up to date on their measles vaccinations, especially adults who may not remember.
    2. Get vaccinated – especially ahead of spring/summer travel and protect loved ones in their families.
    This toolkit provides trusted messages from Peel Public Health you can share with your audiences about the importance of staying protected right now.

Suggested Social Media Posts

*Feel free to copy, personalize, or schedule these posts on your social media accounts.

New Canada Day Celebration in Port Credit Announced

By Announcement, Events, Ward 1

MISSISSAUGA, ON, April 16, 2025 – Canada Day #INThePort Presented by Paint the Town Red and the Port Credit BIA scheduled for July 1, 2025.
A new Canada Day event was announced today during a media launch in Port Credit.

Canada Day #INThePort will take place on July 1, 2025, and will include a vibrant street festival followed by a symphony of fireworks launched from a barge at the mouth of the Credit River.

Paint the Town Red, Port Credit BIA, Visit Mississauga, and the City of Mississauga have collaborated to bring an unprecedented Canada Day event to Port Credit.

After significant community outcry over the postponement of the annual Paint the Town Red festival to 2026, the community groups rallied together to bring a spectacular new Canada Day event in Port Credit.

Ward One Councillor Stephen Dasko highlighted the significance of the collaborative effort to celebrate Canada Day:
“I am absolutely thrilled that this year we are taking a collaborative approach to Canada Day celebrations. A heartfelt thank you to Paint the Town Red, the Port Credit BIA, Visit Mississauga and our incredible sponsors and supporters. It’s an honour to work alongside these dedicated groups to make this partnership a reality. This collaboration is a true reflection of the incredible spirit of our community. Canada Day, especially this year, is more than just a celebration—it’s a reflection of our shared values, diversity, and pride for all the world to see. With a revamped Canada Day experience, I’m excited to see this beloved tradition move forward, bringing residents and visitors together for what will surely be a memorable day.”

The Canada Day celebration will include a road closure along Lakeshore from Stavebank Road to Hurontario Street. The Main Street in Port Credit will be lined with live music, street performers, live shows, vendors, a kid zone, and more.
The focal point on the Main Street will be a giant ferris wheel and amusement rides and games for the whole family.
The festival will attract visitors from the community and everyone from beyond Mississauga to come join in the celebrations.

Through the generous contributions of Visit Mississauga’s CEO, Victoria Clarke shares her support for building the event for the future:
“We’re incredibly proud to be able to make Canada Day #INThePort possible again this year. This longstanding event is a vibrant celebration that showcases the very best of Mississauga’s community spirit, culture, hospitality and local Canadian pride. This year’s Canada Day event will bring visitors from across the region to experience everything Port Credit and Mississauga has to offer, from live entertainment and local flavours to an unforgettable waterfront fireworks display. Visit Mississauga is honoured to play a role in bringing this celebration back to life in collaboration with our dedicated community partners and the PCBIA.”

The event will be a first Main Street road closure by the Port Credit BIA and will provide significant economic benefits to Port Credit businesses and the community.

John Pappas, Chair of the Port Credit BIA, highlights the economic benefit of activated Main Streets and celebrating Canada Day #INThePort: “Our Port Credit Main Street businesses are more than just places to shop or dine —they are the pulse of our community, driving job creation, sustaining entrepreneurs, and fostering economic growth. The Taste of Port Credit inspired street festival invites attendees to support local and indulge their taste buds with a diverse selection of cuisine and beverages from Port Credit’s renowned restaurant scene and experience our unique retail businesses. Canada Day #INThePort provides a unifying event that celebrates Canada and supports our local businesses and economy. Our vibrant, safe, and clean streets that are animated with these large-scale festivals have a direct and significant impact on our community.”

The enormity of the Canada Day #INThePort celebration required the support and collaborative efforts of the community groups involved including the support of Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish who has shared:
“Canada Day is a cherished tradition in Mississauga, and I’m overjoyed to see our community come together to create something truly spectacular with Canada Day #INThePort. This celebration is a testament to the creativity and vibrant spirit that defines Port Credit and our city. From the lively street festival to the fireworks display, this event will offer something special for everyone. I invite residents and visitors to join us in celebrating our shared pride, diversity, and love for Canada in the heart of Port Credit to make this Canada Day unforgettable.” The festival will culminate in an extraordinary fireworks display launched from a barge at the mouth of the Credit River. Fireworks in Port Credit have been a long-standing Canada Day tradition in Port Credit.”

This year Canada Day #INThePort will be creating a fireworks show unlike any other in Mississauga. Paint the Town Red Chair John Bozzo expressed his dedication to an unparalleled Canada Day celebration:
“As founder and chair of Paint the Town Red, I was devastated when earlier this year we had to announce the cancellation of our Canada Day Celebration. However, I am, at this time very pleased to announce that we have partnered with the Port Credit BIA to present Canada Day #INThePort, this July 1. My promise to you is that we will be providing the most spectacular fireworks display Port Credit has ever witnessed.”

Canada Day #INThePort presented by Paint the Town Red and the Port Credit BIA will take place on July 1, 2025, from 12:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. in Port Credit.

Launch Of Peel Police Foundation To Help Address Critical Community Issues

By Announcement

On April 4, 2025, Chief Nishan Duraiappah, Chair Nando Iannicca and Catherine Murray – former senior anchor and host of BNN Bloomberg – officially launched The Peel Police Foundation, a new nonprofit organization dedicated to raising charitable funds in support of community partners across Peel Region.

 

As the region continues to grow, many community organizations and partners do not have the funding and support to meet increasing demands. Guided by the Community Safety and Well-Being framework, the foundation will support innovative public-police solutions to address societal challenges. The foundation will work closely with community partners to expand programs and services that directly address critical issues Peel Police sees within the community such as mental health, addiction, homelessness, youth engagement, and intimate partner violence.

 

The foundation will be managed by a volunteer Board of Directors and led by Chair Catherine Murray, who has extensive experience in institutional sales, trading and equity research. Catherine is also a highly sought-after speaker and moderator, who has made significant contributions and built strong connections within the Peel community.
