The Museums of Mississauga are pleased to invite you to the reopening of Adamson Estate as a vibrant cultural space managed by the City of Mississauga. This historic site will host meaningful, high-quality, Mississauga-focused exhibitions designed to celebrate our city’s heritage, foster civic pride, and deepen residents’ sense of belonging.
To mark this occasion, we are honoured to present A History Exposed: The Enslavement of Black People in Canada, on exclusive loan from the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. Developed with Dr. Afua Cooper and in partnership with the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia, this exhibition will tour nationally for the next four years—making Adamson Estate its only stop in the GTA.
Alongside this groundbreaking exhibition, the Museums of Mississauga have curated a companion exhibit on Mississauga’s Black History, spotlighting the city’s founding Black families and their remarkable contributions—stories that until recently have remained largely untold.
We hope you will join us in celebrating this important milestone for Mississauga.

The City is hosting a series of events in Mississauga to celebrate National Forest Week. Advance registration is required for these events:
All Mississauga residents interested in learning more about Mississauga’s urban forest.
September 20 to 27, 2025 at various times throughout the week.
All events are in-person at various locations in Mississauga.
To learn more about National Forest Week or register for events, visit mississauga.ca/national-forest-week.
As nature’s lungs, Mississauga’s trees and forests are breathing life into the city. Some trees provide much-needed shade, others act as ‘bridges and bustling roadways’ for wildlife. Some produce food like fruits, seeds, nuts and syrup for us to enjoy, and help with flood protection as they slow down the water flow. Learn more about trees and how they are enriching biodiversity.
Trees are at the heart of the City’s efforts to combat climate change. The City aims to plant One Million Trees by 2032, and is well on its way to do so. So far, with the support of residents, businesses, schools, volunteers and partners, 602,539 trees have been planted. Help the City reach its tree goal by planting trees and shrubs on your residential property, specifically native plants and be sure to add it to the City’s one million tree goal.

BRAMPTON, Ont. – June 30, 2025. Peel Region Council has approved a Coordinated Homeless Encampment Response for Peel Region, the City of Brampton, the City of Mississauga and the Town of Caledon. The encampment response is a human rights-based, coordinated and balanced approach to responding to encampments in Peel.
The coordinated homeless encampment response includes the Homeless Encampment Policy and Joint Protocols. The policy and joint protocols between Peel, Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga provide operational guidance to ensure a consistent, coordinated approach between all parties. The protocols are currently being used as a pilot and will be regularly improved as implementation planning and actions continue.
The policy and joint protocols will not eliminate encampments in Peel. The policy and protocols support Peel’s joint encampment response, a balanced and coordinated approach that respects the needs of people living in encampments, as well as community members living and sharing the same community spaces, while aligning with all applicable legal requirements. A balanced approach means a coordinated, consistent and accountable process for assessing, mitigating and responding to documented risk in encampments.
Key functions include:
Residents are asked to report encampments to 311. Peel Region continues to work with the Cities of Brampton and Mississauga, Town of Caledon, Peel Outreach and Peel Regional Police every time an encampment is reported.
Next steps include securing municipal council approvals, updating regional and local by-laws and internal procedures, and seeking Peel Region Council approval in the 2026 budget to provide funding for Peel and local municipalities to implement this service. Peel will continue to work closely with its partners in anticipation of full implementation in 2026.
Access the Council report and visit our website to learn more about Peel’s encampment response.
