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.

On June 10, Peel Regional Police (PRP) announced the results of Project Pelican, marking the largest drug seizure in our service’s history – with nearly $50 million worth of cocaine seized. In collaboration with national and international partners, PRP dismantled a transnational organized criminal network trafficking illicit drugs into the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
In June 2024, Peel Regional Police began investigating a cocaine smuggling operation using U.S.-Canada commercial trucking routes. By November, working with partners including the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and U.S. Homeland Security Investigations Border Enforcement Task Force in Detroit, multiple individuals, trucking companies, and storage sites linked to the operation were identified.
Over the course of the investigation, the following was seized:
- 479 kilograms of bricked cocaine, with an estimated street value of $47.9M
- Two illegal loaded semi-automatic handguns
As of June 6, nine individuals were arrested and charged in connection with the investigation, totalling 35 charges related to firearm and drug offences. The accused were held for a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton.
The successful completion of Project Pelican was made possible through funding provided by the Ontario Government, Ministry of the Solicitor General in which the Criminal Intelligence Service Ontario supported this investigation.

NOTICE OF MOTION — City of Mississauga
Moved by: Sue McFadden
Seconded by: Stephen Dasko
WHEREAS the City of Mississauga requires private property owners to maintain the City-owned public boulevard adjoining their property at their own expense (0266-2017);
AND WHEREAS many private property owners have chosen to beautify the public boulevard through landscaping with stone, brick or other concrete features at their own expense;
AND WHEREAS these landscape features have been identified as highway obstructions and contrary to existing City bylaws;
THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the City of Mississauga complete a review of its highway obstruction bylaw, encroachment bylaw, and any other applicable bylaws, and provide to Council a corporate report with recommendations that may permit some landscaping features as part of a private property owner’s maintenance of the public boulevard;
AND FURTHER THAT enforcement of bylaws related specifically to landscape features within the public boulevard be suspended until the completion of the review period.
This issue was brought to Councillor Dasko’s attention last week (Week of April 28th) and he had asked staff to investigate.
Staff in Animal Services reached out to the Ministry of Natural Resources to investigate. MNR has advised that this is a natural occurrence due to the change in the water temperature at this time of the year. Apparently this particular species is susceptible to stress caused by the change in temperature.
