Mississauga introduces watercraft launch ramp fees starting May 1

By Announcement, Parks, Ward 1

New fees have been approved for the City’s launch ramps to help fund their operation and maintain orderly procedures.

City services | April 27, 2026

Mississauga City Council has approved changes to the City’s Fees and Charges By-law, introducing new fees to use the City’s three watercraft launch ramps. Starting May 1, 2026, Mississauga residents and visitors will need to pay a one-day, seven-day or seasonal fee to use the launch ramps at Marina Park and Lakefront Promenade. The new fees will help offset the cost for the City to operate and staff the launches, to ensure they are organized and running efficiently.

The City’s launches are used about 8,000 times annually and are busiest on summer weekends. The City has had to increase staffing and security to manage the high demand.

The fees apply to anyone who uses a trailer to launch their watercraft from the ramps. Residents will pay $10 for one day, $40 for seven days or $120 for the full season. Non‑residents will pay $15 for one day, $60 for seven days or $180 for the full season. Paying the seasonal fee allows users to launch their watercraft from the ramps at Marina Park and Lakefront Promenade for the entire season, from when the ramps open in the spring until the fall, weather permitting.

Paying the fee

The fees can be paid online. In-person payment is also available at the City’s marina offices. Marina staff will be on site to explain the new fee, help with mobile payment if needed, and check that the fee has been paid.

To learn more, visit mississauga.ca/launchrampfees and mississauga.ca/marinas.

CONSTRUCTION NOTICE – Tree Removals – Cooksville Creek Corridor, South of Lakeshore Rd.

By Construction, Parks, Ward 1

Project Overview

The City of Mississauga (“City”) is planning to remove numerous trees within the Cooksville Creek corridor, south of Lakeshore Road East, beginning in January 2026. The tree removals are necessary to facilitate upcoming construction activities later in 2026, including:
• restoration of the creek banks to address ongoing erosion issues;
• replacement of the Helen Molasy Trail and berm along the eastern creek bank; and
• replacement of clogged catch basins and drain pipes that aid in draining the backyards behind the creek.

Background information for the project can be found on the City’s Class Environmental Assessment website:
https://www.mississauga.ca/projects-and-strategies/environmental-assessments/cooksville-creek-erosion-control-south-of-lakeshore-road/

All of the planned tree removals are located within public lands along the creek and trail corridor. No trees located on private lands are planned for removal at this time. At the conclusion of the project, hundreds of new trees and shrubs will be planted within the corridor.
