Councillor Dasko has recently received an update from Transportation and Works staff regarding the pedestrian bridge that will span the Credit River just South of the train bridge.
Capital Works will be completing some road works on Front Street North, which will include realigning the sidewalk and constructing a parking lay-by in front of the Royal Canadian Legion. This work is in preparation for the new Port Credit Active Transportation Bridge which will connect Front St N, cross the Credit River and connect into Memorial Park.
The estimated date for this work is Spring-Summer 2024. In the meantime, an archaeological investigation is scheduled for October 2023. The bridge construction will then commence in 2025.
Councillor Dasko will post updates as they become available.
I am very excited to announce that construction has begun for the refrigerated ice rink in Port Credit’s Memorial Park!
While preserving the existing topography of the park, the design of the loop will be 3.5 metres wide (11 feet wide) and 200 metres long (over 700 feet long). It will be a walking track in the summer season and will add to the functionality during festival seasons.
Coming this Winter 2023 !!

Notice of upcoming invasive species treatment by Credit Valley Conservation (CVC). Treatment will involve the use of herbicides to reduce the number of invasive plants and their threats to the natural area.
The work will be taking place at Cawthra Park and will be targeting two different species of plants. Please see below for more detailed information:
- Target species: Japanese Knotweed
- Details: A small patch along the trail running along the east side of the park, adjacent to the houses. The area was treated in 2022 and any regrowth will be retreated this year. The area is just south of South Sheridan Way. Impacted residents will be notified by letter.
- Target species: Phragmites
- Details: Several patches near the entrance to the park off of Eight Street, on both sides of the pathway. This area was treated in 2022. Impacted residents will be notified by letter. An additional area will be treated in 2023, near the back of the community centre. Any plants present on the woodland side of the wooden boards will be treated this year, with any remaining plants treated once the boards are removed in 2024.
The treatment is scheduled for August 22nd and 23rd. As herbicides are being used, all work is weather dependent so the treatment days are subject to change. As per Ontario Regulation 63/09 under the Pesticides Act, signage will be posted at least 24 hours before treatment (no longer than 7 days prior), and will be removed 48 hours after treatment (no longer than 10 days after).
CVC will be using Roundup VisionMax (Glyphosate) which is sprayed using a handheld/backpack sprayer.
Crews will be working Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
