Notification of Invasive Species control using herbicide

By Events, Parks, Ward 1

This is to notify you of upcoming herbicide application to control of invasive woody species, such as European Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica), and naturalization plantings beginning November 3 at Cawthra Woods.

Contractors working on behalf of the City, Brinkman Living Infrastructure Ltd., will be applying Garlon (Triclopyr) directly to plants using a handheld/backpack sprayer to minimize impacts to plants in the surrounding area.

Notification signs will be posted at all access points to the spray area at least 24 hours prior to treatment and will be removed no less than 48 hours after treatment. All work should be completed within 2 weeks, but the timelines may be extended as needed depending on weather conditions.

This work supports the City’s Invasive Species Management program and improves the health of natural areas across the City.

The Park Supervisor and 311 have been notified of these operations.

Join us for the opening of “A History Exposed” at Adamson Estate on October 4

By Events, Parks, Ward 1

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.

 

Event Details:

Adamson Estate, 850 Enola Ave.

Saturday October 4, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Light refreshments will be served

Benefits of trees

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.

Support the One Million Trees program

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.
