Clarke Hall will be undergoing important restoration and repair work beginning in early May.
This project will help preserve the building’s heritage character while addressing key infrastructure needs.
The scope of work for this project includes the following:
- Heritage restoration of windows and masonry walls
- Replacement of the main front exterior stairs and two (2) rear exterior exit stairs
- Replacement of electrical panels and disconnect switches
- Structural repairs to the building foundations
The contractor is scheduled to mobilize in early May. All work associated with this project is anticipated to be completed by the end of fall.
To accommodate foundation and stair work, the following building entrances will be temporarily closed:
- North front entrance: Closed from May to mid-August
- The southwest entrance will be used as the alternate access during this period.
- The sidewalk in front of the building will also be closed, with signage in place to redirect pedestrian traffic.
- Rear south exit stairs: Closed from mid-August to mid-October
Access to the building for existing bookings will be maintained at all times; however, booking capacity will be restricted during construction due to ongoing work at building entrances and exits. Recurring weekly bookings already in place will continue to operate from the facility.
Communications by the Recreation team to existing bookings/user groups have gone out via email and telephone to inform them about the construction project. Additionally, Recreation will continue to communicate out to existing bookings/user groups during construction the exact entrance closure dates and Construction Fire Safety Plan.
The Recreation team will redirect any additional or special event bookings requiring larger capacities to nearby facilities for the duration of the construction period. Full, normal-capacity bookings are expected to resume starting November 2026.

The third instalment of the Housing Accelerator Fund will help the City continue to get more homes built and make them more affordable.
City building | March 10, 2026
The HAF is designed to support the delivery of new homes, including important housing enabling-infrastructure. The City will use the third instalment of the HAF to:
- Support the funding available for grants under the City’s multi-residential stream of the Affordable Rental Housing Community Improvement Plan. This program offers incentives to private and non-profit developers. It’s designed to get shovel-ready rental housing projects with affordable units under construction as soon as possible.
- Offsetting shortfalls resulting from reductions to development charges and fees. The City’s development charges incentives program – which was recently expanded to provide deeper incentives for purpose-built rental apartments – is helping kick-start construction to make housing more affordable.
Stimulating housing construction
The City has made significant strides in changing the housing landscape since receiving its first HAF instalment. In January 2025, following the release of the Mayor’s Housing Task Force report, Mississauga became one of the first municipalities in Ontario to reduce and/or eliminate development charges for residential housing. Other important actions include:
- Tax relief for new multi-residential development: In response to a motion by Mayor Parrish, Peel Region approved a resolution adopting a new municipal Multi-Residential Property Tax subclass to help encourage the development of much-needed rental housing. The new subclass provides a 35 per cent property tax reduction for eligible properties.
- Incentives for additional residential units and fourplexes: The City’s gentle density incentive program provides grants to cover city fees and development charges (if applicable). The City also offers pre-approved garden suite design plans that residents can use free of charge and has partnered with the federal government on its Housing Design Catalogue.
- Making it easier to build housing in neighbourhoods: Council approved updates to the City’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law to allow fourplexes as well as semi-detached homes and homes on smaller lots in residential neighbourhoods.
- Simplifying planning approvals for housing near transit: Mississauga is moving forward with pre-zoning lands in the City’s Protected Major Transit Station Areas. Mississauga is one of the first municipalities in Ontario to pre-zone lands of this scale. When fully implemented, this will help speed up the construction of new housing while ensuring meets the City’s vision for new development.

“As a City, we’ve taken bold and proactive steps to help increase the supply of homes our residents urgently need. The Housing Accelerator Fund has been instrumental in advancing this work and we are grateful to the federal government for their support and partnership. Predictable, long-term funding from the federal and provincial governments will be critical to our continued success. Stable revenue tools allow cities like Mississauga to plan with confidence and deliver the complete, connected communities our growing population depends on.”– Mayor Carolyn
