The day honours the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities.
The holiday came into effect in 2021 to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s call to action number 80 by creating a holiday which seeks to honour First Nations, Inuit and Métis Survivors, and their families and communities.
Throughout September, Mississauga joins the rest of Canada to commemorate the history and continuing impacts of this tragedy in our journey for reconciliation. It is a time of education, reflection and remembrance.

The City has plans to build a new marina and waterfront park at 1 Port Street East in Port Credit. Before we can do this, we need to complete an Environmental Assessment (EA) – a public consultation and a review of the impact of the proposal on the environment.
This project includes adding fill to the lake to create new land along the existing break wall. This will provide an opportunity to continue the site’s historic marina function, support marina and business activity, create new a waterfront park and improve habitat. The site is one of the few deep-water harbours on the north shore of Lake Ontario and an important part of Mississauga’s tourism and waterfront parks strategies.
From September 14 to October 31, 2023, take part in the virtual Public Information Centre #3. View the project documents, including the online presentation and draft EA document, and share your feedback through an online survey.
The City will be holding a pop-up event with staff available to answer questions and discuss the project. Pop-up event details will be made available on the project website.

Received August 31, 2023 from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, Update on opening date received November 23, 2023.
“The Ogden Pedestrian Bridge was initially scheduled for completion by the end of August 2023/start of the fall school year. Due to numerous underground and aboveground utility conflicts, the opening of the pedestrian bridge is delayed, with an opening date in late summer 2024 now projected.
At this time, the contractor has progressed with the subsurface concrete and pier column works, and expects to have the entire substructure complete within three weeks. The steel truss sections are currently in fabrication and are projected to be installed in early October 2023. The concrete deck on the truss and associated concrete approach ramps will follow thereafter.
The school boards were advised on June 21st, 2023 with respect to a delay in the re-opening of the Ogden Bridge to late November 2023 (from late August 2023) and were advised earlier this week of the new projected opening date. A bussing service, provided by the school boards for the affected students, similar to what was implemented from March 20th to June 30th this year, was to be reimplemented starting in September and will now extended from the previously noted November completion date to the newly revised late summer 2024 completion date and this bussing service will be updated/revised as construction of the Ogden Pedestrian Bridge progresses.”

Several times a year, Metrolinx reviews and adjusts schedules network-wide to ensure GO Transit and UP Express services align with customer needs, while allocating resources to where they are needed most.
Upcoming changes on the Lakeshore West lines.
To better accommodate your schedules, most trips will be adjusted to depart either earlier or later.
Starting Tuesday September 5, 2023:
- Certain trips may depart up to eight minutes earlier or up to nine minutes later than their previous schedule. Please check your schedules before you travel.
- For Peel customers at our Mississauga stations, certain trips may depart up to eight minutes earlier or up to nine minutes later than their previous schedule. Please check your schedules before you travel.
Importantly, these adjustments will not affect the frequency of service you have come to rely on.
As you travel, we recommend listening closely to announcements on your train for specific directions. There might be instances where you’ll need to switch platforms at Union Station to continue your journey.

Mississauga roads will get busier once again as thousands of students, from pre-school to college and university, head back to school starting Tuesday, September 5. Students will be walking, riding their bikes and scooters, taking school buses or MiWay buses, and being driven to and from school. The City of Mississauga reminds all road users to stay alert and be aware when using roads to help prevent collisions.
“I urge all road users to remain attentive and take precautions to prevent collisions during the busy travel periods. Our students deserve to be safe in and out of the classroom,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “As a driver, slow down and watch for students, especially in school zones, and stop for school buses when you see their red lights flashing. If you’re a student, stay alert and be aware while making your way to and from school. Remember, stay safe and have a great first day back!”
The City has more than 215 school crossing guards at more than 160 locations who will be ready on the first day of school to help elementary school students cross the road safely. The City’s Mississauga School Traffic Safety Action Committee conducts site inspections and safety reviews at or near schools on request to help improve student safety at any school location.
“We’re continuing to work towards our commitment of achieving Vision Zero in Mississauga and keeping students safe on our roads,” said Geoff Wright, Commissioner of Transportation and Works. “This year so far, we’ve placed speed cameras in 38 school zones to help combat speeding on our roadways. On high-speed City roadways, we’ve lowered speed limits from 70 km/h to 60 km/h to help reduce the risk of collisions and make City roads safer for all users. We’ve also started to implement Pedestrian and Bike Head Start Signals at intersections to give pedestrians and cyclists a five-second head start to cross the road before vehicles.”
The City also has a School Walking Routes program that promotes active travel, such as walking, biking or using a mobility device, to and from school. School Route signs installed around the neighbourhood guide students on their way to school and alert drivers to watch for children.

Safety tips for families who walk, cycle or take a bus to school:
Plan and practise your school route as a household ahead of time, including safe places to cross the street.
When possible, always use crosswalks or crossrides to cross the street. Walk your bike or scooter across roads when no crossrides are available.
Look both ways before you cross the road to make sure the intersection or crosswalk is clear of vehicles.
If your route to school is near a railway crossing, make sure to follow all railway-crossing safety rules.
When waiting for a school bus or MiWay bus, stand back from the curb and don’t approach the bus until it comes to a full stop.
Follow the instructions of your school crossing guard.
Wear a helmet when biking, skateboarding or riding your scooter to and from school and obey all signs, laws and signals.
Safety tips for drivers:
Be alert, obey the posted speed limits, and follow the rules at drop-off and pick-up locations to help keep everybody safe.
When stopping or parking for school drop-off or pick-up, do not block sightlines near crosswalks or intersections. Never pick-up or drop-off in a spot where your student must cross the road between stopped cars.
Look out for students walking or rolling, especially when turning and in areas with many stopped cars.
At stop signs, drivers are required to come to a complete stop and yield the appropriate right-of-way before proceeding through the intersection. This includes the stop sign held by a school crossing guard.
At crossings, check the entire crosswalk for pedestrians and cyclists, and do not proceed until they have completed the crossing.
Stop for school buses and don’t attempt to pass them. Do not go until the red lights stop flashing.
Avoid distractions when driving including looking at your phone or drinking coffee.
Consider leaving the car at home. If you normally drive to the bus stop, consider walking instead. If you must drive, consider driving partway and walking the rest of the way to reduce congestion and improve safety in front of the school.
Mississauga, Ontario, August 4th – In recognition of all her work for both the environment and community, a tree will be presented to Alice Casselman, the founding president of ACER, by the City of Mississauga’s Ward 1 and 3 councillors, Stephen Dasko and Chris Fonseca. This ceremony and mini tour will begin at 3:00pm at Fleetwood Park (2000 Burnhamthorpe Rd. E) and everyone is welcome to attend.
For years Alice Casselman, through ACER, has been giving both individuals and organizations opportunities to get involved within their communities to help plant, maintain and monitor trees. Over time, Alice has worked, with support from the City of Mississauga, to increase canopy cover vital to building climate resilience in neighbourhoods. ACER has also planted and monitored hundreds of trees and has provided educational opportunities for countless students through the Planting for Change and Canada Summer Jobs programs.
This event will be open to the entire community and will celebrate Alice and her work.
ACER’s Mission:
ACER is a non-profit organization dedicated to building climate resilience through planting, measuring and monitoring trees. Through various programs, ACER educates volunteers about climate change and provides opportunities for communities to better the tree canopy in their own backyards.
To find out more about ACER’s mission and projects go to https://www.acer-acre.ca/ or find us on instragram @climatesake, or on facebook @Association for Canadian Educational Resources.
