December 11, 2025 – Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) has prepared draft regulations mapping to conform to requirements under the Conservation Authorities Act and Ontario Regulation 41/24. Property owners in the Credit River Watershed can now review and comment on the draft updated regulation mapping until January 18, 2026 at cvc.ca/RegulationMappingUpdate.

CVC has a provincially delegated responsibility to regulate development in areas subject to natural hazards in order to avoid and prevent the loss of life and damage to property due to flooding and erosion.

“Regulation mapping is a tool CVC uses to show where regulated natural hazards and regulated features such as wetlands and valley lands are located in the Credit River Watershed,” said Jakub Kilis, Senior Manager, Infrastructure and Regulations at Credit Valley Conservation. “Updates to regulation mapping ensure natural hazard limits are kept up to date to inform the planning and permit process to protect people and property. Landowners with property located within a regulated area, may require approval (a permit) from CVC before starting their project.”

Residents and landowners in the Credit River Watershed are encouraged to review CVC’s draft updated regulation mapping. If there are inconsistencies between the features on their property and the draft updated regulated area mapping, they are invited to submit comments. Comments received will be reviewed by staff, and refinements may be made to the mapping where deemed appropriate and in keeping with current legislation and best available information.

Innovative collaboration between paramedics and physicians recognized with an Ontario Health System Quality and Innovation Award

MISSISSAUGA/BRAMPTON, ON (December 8, 2025) – Peel Regional Paramedic Services and Trillium Health Partners have been honoured with an Ontario Health System Quality and Innovation Award in the Collaborative Partnership category for their trailblazing collaboration that reimagines health care by bringing hospital-level expertise directly into patients’ living rooms.

The award, presented on November 25 at the University of Toronto, recognizes the partnership’s General Internal Medicine Virtual Consult Model – a first-of-its-kind approach that combines in-home assessments and diagnostics by community paramedics with real-time virtual consults from internal medicine specialists.

This innovation helps frail seniors and people living with dementia or chronic conditions to receive timely, personalized care in the comfort of their homes – avoiding unnecessary emergency visits, easing pressure on hospitals and delivering significant cost savings for the health system. For patients already in hospital, the partnership supports safer, more coordinated discharges and follow-up care.

Impact snapshot

• 95% of patients were treated in the comfort of their home without needing a trip to the emergency department.
• Hundreds of avoided emergency room visits and hospital admissions, freeing up critical resources for those requiring specialized in-hospital care.
• General Internal Medicine consult volume through the Community Paramedicine program has grown 6% year-over-year, with close to 400 virtual specialist appointments delivered since 2022.

Last year alone, Peel’s community paramedics supported more than 1,800 residents through the Community Paramedicine Program, including individuals recently discharged from hospital, patients awaiting long-term care, and tenants in Peel Living buildings receiving wellness checks. The collaboration with Trillium Health Partners adds real-time physician support and diagnostics, so treatment can begin immediately in the home.

This award celebrates the vision for a seamlessly connected health system, demonstrating what is possible when providers work across settings to build digitally-connected, compassionate and community-based models of care close to home, and close to what matters most.

“This partnership reflects our vision for a new kind of health care – one that is more connected, more compassionate and closer to home. By working with Peel colleagues to bring hospital specialists directly into people’s homes, we are improving access, supporting patient dignity and building a more responsive and equitable health system for a growing and aging population.”

Karli Farrow, President & CEO, Trillium Health Partners

“When a community paramedic can walk into someone’s living room, connect them to a hospital specialist and start treatment on the spot, we’re not just avoiding a 911 call; we’re also improving the quality of life of residents who need our help.”

Brian Gibson, Paramedic Chief, Peel Region
