I wake up to the sound of the waves hitting the rocks
I run to open the curtains and let the breeze caress my face
The sound of the geese flying over the water is music to my ears
As the boats at the port are hitting the docks
The sunrise paints the horizon with divine art
First, forming red roses with the clouds, yes, this will be a day of love
as the sun comes out, the sky turns yellow, full of hope
Shining over the water as the lake takes part
Yes, this will be a special day of art,
Paint the town red,
say the street signs with a heart,
wearing red would be smart
Soon the parade will start
The children enjoy the Ferris wheel and cotton candy
And others line up for face painting,
Or the ice cream handy.
Mom and dad greet the food vendors, hmmm the menu is plenty
Grandma and grandpa laugh at the red balloon hunting
While eating a funnel cake that’s tempting
The restaurant tables are on the side walks
Inviting people in with delicious food aromas,
As the band at the stage blasts
People dance to all kinds of music
Oh oh oh, freeze, the music stopped and so did the rides
People that were sitting in front of the stage now stand up
Everyone proudly raises a flag, as though a fighting sword
Yes, paint the town red,
Hats are red
t-shirts are red
dresses are red
but most importantly,
our flag is white and red
with a proud maple leaf that’s red
Let’s all break the silence singing together
“OH Canada” as true patriots with love
for our home and native land.
Dressed with red and white, the Councillor salutes,
and I’m happy to shake his hand.
There is happiness and love in the crowds,
In the city, in the whole country, not just the town.
Canada, it’s your birthday, our birthday
Together we’ll blow your 158 candles at sunset
and united we’ll enjoy with glowing hearts at night,
the fireworks that rise over the water up to the sky
a colorful and shinny picture of almighty
The lights sent up to the sky
Fall onto the lake as though 158 stars
That brighten our eyes in awe
God keep our land glorious and free
Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

July 2025 – Port Credit Canada Day
NAV Canada regularly conducts instrument landing system (ILS) check at Toronto Pearson. This is a routine operation that ensures the accuracy and safety of the country’s navigation aids and instrument approach procedures. The ILS is a precision approach system that provides navigational guidance signals and information on a cockpit display to guide pilots accurately to the point of landing in periods of poor visibility.
The second semi-annual test of 2025 will take place for two nights during the week of July 21 from approx. 12:00AM to 4:00AM and will involve all runways at Toronto Pearson. It will take approximately 20 minutes per runway.
Pre-approved flights do operate in the overnight hours in accordance with the Night Flight Restriction program in effect between 12:30 am and 6:30 am. However, given that the flight checks will involve flight patterns of repeated approaches for the runways at varying combinations of height, speed, and direction, we wanted to inform you that there might be noise impacts in your riding.
We have already posted the information on our Noise Advisory Calendar, and will also be posting a message on WebTrak.
Affected residents can feel free to reach out to the Toronto Pearson Noise Management Office directly if they have any questions or wish to submit a noise complaint:
- Online using WebTrak or the complaint form
- By phone 416-247-7682
BRAMPTON, ON (June 27, 2025) – Peel Regional Council has received the 2024 Climate Change Master Plan (CCMP) progress report, outlining achievements, challenges, and next steps in the fight against climate change.
The global climate crisis intensified in 2024, which was the hottest year ever recorded. Peel experienced the impacts of a changing climate firsthand, including two 100-year flood events in a single month and multiple extreme heat episodes that affected residents, staff, and services.
Peel’s climate efforts in 2024 led to a 3.5% reduction in corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, independent of external factors beyond Peel’s control. These factors included population growth – leading to increased wastewater treatment – and a 26% spike in natural gas use for electricity generation across Ontario – affecting all grid-connected municipalities. Once these external challenges were considered, Peel’s latest GHG inventory showed a net increase of 1.4% in overall emissions.
Despite these challenges, Peel continued to lead by example, implementing key actions under the Climate Change Master Plan.
Highlights from 2024 include:
- Transforming Hillside Place in Mississauga to near net-zero emissions
- Transitioning fleet vehicles to lower-carbon fuels
- Piloting a Biosolids Diversion Program
- Enhancing the resilience of Peel’s natural green infrastructure
- Expanding the Electric Vehicle (EV) charging network
- Investing in the decarbonization of affordable housing to support Peel Housing Corporation’s near net-zero goals
Peel also successfully leveraged external funding, supported innovation, and deepened its understanding of climate risks and solutions across the organization.
Looking ahead, Peel is refreshing its Climate Change Master Plan, with an updated strategy scheduled for Council approval in 2026. The renewed plan will set updated corporate emissions targets, introduce measures to build and maintain more climate-resilient infrastructure, and empower the broader community to take stronger climate action.

Get involved to help shape the CCAP update
- Mississauga’s Climate Lab 2 is an online platform where residents can share their climate-related priorities and comment on the issues that matter most to them. This feedback will be used to help draft the updated CCAP. Residents are encouraged to provide feedback by August 31, 2025.
- Climate Lab pop-up events will provide an in-person opportunity for the community to share their feedback to help shape the CCAP update. These events will be hosted at Mississauga community centres and libraries throughout the summer. Event details will be posted on the Updating the Climate Change Action Plan webpage in the coming weeks.
- The Community Dialogue Series will offer residents a more collaborative, in-depth, way to help shape the CCAP update. Both in-person and virtual workshops will be held in July and August. The July sessions will focus on scenario building and storytelling to understand the impacts of the new targets. The August sessions will focus on sharing feedback and insights gathered from the community about the planned updates. Event details will be posted on the Updating the Climate Change Action Plan webpage in the coming weeks.
