Peel Region has been working in your area to install a new sanitary trunk sewer offline storage facility, and properly retire an existing sanitary trunk sewer, as shown on the attached map.
To respond to climate change and meet the demands of a growing population, we are constructing an underground facility that will store wastewater during large rain events. (For more information, see peelregion.ca/public-works/environmental-assessments/mississauga/east-trunk-ss-offline-storage-facility.asp for Environmental Assessment.)
Construction schedule
Work is progressing with most of the underground works completed. However, all remaining work and restoration is now scheduled to be completed in Fall 2024. All efforts will be made to open the Dog Park at our earliest opportunity.
All work is under warranty for two years from the completion date.
Contractor and working hours
The work is being completed by EBC Inc. and supported by Arcadis (previously known as IBI Group), both under contract to Peel Region. This contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday.
These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws. To complete the work on time, there may be times when work will be completed later into the evening or on Saturdays. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but shorter working days would require your neighbourhood to be under construction for a longer period of time. We will attempt to minimize overnight work whenever possible.
Closure of Etobicoke Valley Dog Park and associated trails
To keep pedestrians and their pets safe, the Etobicoke Valley Dog Park and the trails leading to the dog park will continue to be closed until all work is completed in Fall 2024. Trail closure signs are posted on site. Alternate dog park locations can be found by visiting mississauga.ca/events-andattractions/parks/find-a-park/
Once all work is completed and the dog park is reopened, we will notify residents through an advertisement in the local newspaper and by distributing notices to the surrounding area.
Traffic and parking
We will work to manage traffic in the area for the safety of workers, road users and residents.
• Temporary lane restrictions may be required on Dundas Street East near the active construction area to complete the work safely. As a result, road users may experience delays on Dundas Street East.
• The south portion of Southcreek Road will remain closed to traffic, as well as the Etobicoke Valley Dog Park’s parking lot. Access to businesses will be maintained.
• There will be no on-street parking on Southcreek Road during construction.
• Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Safety during construction
Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible.

The Study
Peel Region has initiated a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal ClassEnvironmental Assessment (Class EA) for the reservoir expansion at the Arthur P. Kennedy Water Treatment Plant (WTP) (See Figure). The approximate limits of the study area include the area around the Arthur P. Kennedy WTP from Lakeshore Road East southerly to Lake Ontario, and from just east of Montbeck Crescent to East Avenue extending to the eastern limits of the Douglas Kennedy Park.
Peel’s Water and Wastewater Master Plan (2020) and updated 2051 population forecast identified that the treated water storage is insufficient at this WTP. The purpose of this project is to identify a preferred solution and design concept that provides a cost-effective and environmentally sound means of providing additional treated water storage to ensure long-term reliable water treatment and supply of this lake-based system.
The Process
The Class EA study will be conducted in accordance with the approved requirements for a Schedule ‘C’ project as described in the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class EA document (October 2000, as amended). A key component of the study is consultation with interested stakeholders (Indigenous communities, public, landowners and agencies). Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held throughout the Study to provide an update, as well as an opportunity to provide comments. The first PIC held on October 18th, 2023, provided a summary of the background information, the need and justification, and an overview of the alternative solutions being considered.
Public Information Centre
The second PIC will be held on April 17, 2024. The purpose of this PIC is to update the public on the project’s status and advise stakeholders of the preliminary preferred solution. The PIC will also provide an opportunity for those who are interested to provide their feedback on the project. We invite you to drop-in during this time.
The PIC will take place as follows:
Date: April 17, 2024
(Drop-in Centre Format)
Time: 6 to 8 p.m.
Location: Arthur P. Kennedy Water Treatment Plant
920 East Ave
Mississauga
2nd Floor Training Room
The material will be made available on April 18, 2024. Comments will be received until May 1, 2024.

The Mississauga Arts Council (MAC), Peel Region, and Stantec are excited to unveil a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Lakeshore Mural Project (also known as the Lakeshore Road Artistic Hoarding Mural Project). This initiative seeks to commission four digital murals to adorn hoardings placed around various locations on Lakeshore Road in Port Credit, Mississauga. The RFP is exclusively open to professional artists based in Mississauga, aiming to offer significant artistic platforms for local talent.
“I was excited by this idea I put forward to Peel Region and the Mississauga Arts Council and they were happy to execute it,” says Ward 1 Councillor, Stephen Dasko, ”Over the next few years of construction taking place on the Lakeshore Trunk Sewer and Sub-transmission Main, we will have incredible local artists displaying their talents for everyone to enjoy!”
The digitally rendered hoarding murals will be placed in 4 locations in South Mississauga. Richard’s Memorial Park, Pine Avenue, Wesley Avenue, and 5A & 5B Front Street.
Deadline to apply for all projects is April 29, 2024.

Increased capacity will accommodate more housing in support of Bill 23
Peel Region council approved an additional investment of $130 million to increase wastewater capacity by 40 million litres per day (MLD), at the G.E. Booth Water Resource Recovery Facility, (WWRF). An additional 40 MLD of flow capacity can support additional housing units of between 28,000 and 47,000, depending on the type of development.
Peel Region staff and their consultant have identified opportunities to make increased capacity available sooner by advancing construction through their current capital contractors, ROMAG Contracting Ltd. and CIMA Canada Inc. This will result in additional capacity being available by 2028 instead of 2039, provide better value for tax dollars and support project growth targets from Bill 23.
Peel staff are working on the new capital works master plan, scheduled for completion in 2025, which includes an assessment of the infrastructure required to meet Bill 23 growth projections. As part of this planning work staff are identifying projects that can be advanced earlier. The investment to increase capacity at G.E. Booth is one such project.
The G.E. Booth (Lakeview) Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) is the Region of Peel’s largest wastewater treatment plant. The facility originally went into service in 1955 and has undergone multiple expansions and currently has a capacity of 518 MLD. The plant serves the eastern portion of the Region of Peel and part of York Region. The plant is designed to treat municipal wastewater from residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
Yard waste collection begins the week of March 4 in Peel, with the cities of Brampton and Mississauga receiving weekly yard waste collection and urban areas in the Town of Caledon receiving bi-weekly yard waste collection. Rural areas of Caledon will have yard waste picked up on designated Fridays.
Residents can check their collection calendar to find their pickup day or sign up to receive free weekly waste collection reminders at peelregion.ca/waste/reminders.
Reminders:
- Yard waste must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on your collection day.
- Put yard waste at the curb in kraft yard waste bags (plastic bags not accepted), or containers that are clearly labelled “yard waste” by marker or sticker.
Peel Region no longer accepts grass clippings at the curb or at Community Recycling Centres.
