Mississauga is ready to weather the winter
The City’s crews are once again ready to respond to snowfall to help keep you moving safely – clearing roads, on-street bike lanes, priority sidewalks and other City infrastructure after a snowfall.
The City follows a priority route system. Priority infrastructure is cleared first. This includes priority roads, priority sidewalks, bus stops, roadside multi-use trails, pedestrian crossings, on-street bike lanes, and parking lots and entrances connected to community centres, arenas and libraries.
It can take 12 to 24 hours to clear this infrastructure after the snow has stopped.
City crews then move on to clearing residential roads, park trails, pathways and easements to schools. This infrastructure is cleared within 24 to 36 hours after the snow has stopped. Residential roads are not cleared to bare pavement but are cleared to be safe and passable for vehicles. Some snow pack may be left on the road.
You can track the progress of the City’s plows and sidewalk-clearing equipment using the online plow tracker.
Winter Safety Tips
* Give plows lots of space and drive according to weather conditions.
* When it snows, remove parked vehicles on residential streets. Parked vehicles can limit or block snowplows from clearing the snow.
* Clear your walkway and sidewalk so that others can travel safely. Consider offering to help those who may need assistance.
* Use salt according to the manufacturer’s instructions to minimize the impact on the environment. If you see oversalting at one of our MiWay bus stops, you can report it by calling 311.
* Ensure pets are brought indoors during extreme weather conditions.
* Clear snow and ice off your vehicle, including all windows, headlights, roof and hood before you head out.
* Consider wearing appropriate footwear to avoid slips and falls and installing winter tires for better traction

The Peel Region Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.
Your water will be turned off on Thursday November 28th, 11:00am to 5:00pm. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.
Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption
As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:
- Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may affect internal systems that rely on water such as boilers, fire suppression, and alarms.
- Notify the fire alarm company if the interruption could affect an alarm system.
- Have a fire watch completed during the water interruption, as the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function when the water supply is shut off.
After the water interruption
When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor, and finishing on the top floor). You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds. Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.
Important note
After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking the water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:
- 905-791-7800 extension 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
- 905-791-7800 extension 4409 (after hours or statutory holidays)

(Nov. 22, 2024) – Yesterday at Regional Council, Peel’s 2025 Corporate Budget Overview was presented, along with the Peel Regional Police Budget.
The 2025 Corporate Budget Overview highlighted some of the challenges Peel is facing as a growing community with increased service demands. Ongoing challenges include elevated prices due to inflation, aging infrastructure, the continued climate change emergency and changing legislation.
The proposed 2025 Budget includes investments of $6.2 billion to maintain current service levels for a growing population, while addressing priority community needs.
Critical urgent needs being addressed include:
- The housing affordability crisis
- Accelerated housing-enabling infrastructure
- Affordability issues in the community
- Community safety and well-being
- Promoting diversity, equity and inclusion
To address the challenges being faced, the 2025 Budget also reflects $14.9 million in cost savings and in cost avoidance found through continuous improvement efforts and cost containment measures.
For the impact on the overall property tax, Regionally Controlled services account for a 1.3% increase, Peel Regional Police 4.1% increase and other agencies 0.1% increase for a total average property tax increase of 5.5%.
Next steps and more information
- Nov. 28, 2024: Presentations for Regionally Controlled Services.
- Dec. 5, 2024: Presentations for two Regionally Financed External Organizations including Credit Valley Conservation Authority and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.
- The Regional Council Budget meeting(s) are open to the public and residents may attend. The meeting will also be live streamed.

New financial incentives for homeowners to boost housing supply
The City is offering new financial incentives to encourage and help homeowners build more units on their properties. These incentives will cover some application fees, depending on the type of unit being built:
Additional residential units (ARUs)
Homeowners building or legalizing ARUs, such as basement apartments, garage conversions, garden suites or second-floor additions can have their building permit fees waived. Legalizing an ARU includes, but is not limited to, ensuring the unit meets the applicable zoning requirements, complies with Ontario’s Building Code, and passes inspections to become a legal, safe living space. New build fourplexes are also eligible.
Fourplexes
To make building a fourplex more affordable, the City is waiving the development charges and parkland fees that are currently required for the fourth unit, aligning with the existing exemptions already in place for the first three units. Additionally, grants will be available to cover building permit fees.
The goal of these incentives is lower upfront costs for homeowners, making it easier to add new units to existing properties. It also creates more housing options in Mississauga’s neighborhoods, which will help meet the growing demand for homes in a thoughtful and sustainable way. Learn more about adding more units to your property.
City takes the lead by sharing garden suite plans with all municipalities
Garden suites are a great way to gently add density to Mississauga neighbourhoods. Earlier this year, the City made it easier to build garden suites by offering free, pre-approved plans. These plans offer a streamlined, ready-to-go solution for residents. Garden suites can be built in backyards, making them ideal for homeowners who want to add an additional space for their growing families, or to use as a rental unit.
Today, the City is expanding this initiative by making its garden suite plans available to all municipalities across Ontario. Planning and building departments in other communities can now offer the City’s ready-made designs to interested residents, helping to streamline processes and accelerate home-building across the province. This initiative reinforces the City’s leadership and commitment to addressing the housing crisis across Ontario, helping residents and municipal staff to save time and costs, so homeowners can work directly with licensed builders sooner.
Housing growth through gentle density
In the past year, the City has made significant progress in introducing new strategies for homeowners to build, which has helped to increase housing options while gently boosting density in Mississauga’s neighborhoods.
To date in 2024, four fourplexes have applied for building permits, and we have issued permits for more than 715 ARUs, including seven garden suites. This progress reflects our commitment to creating diverse housing options, which is an important step in ensuring that future generations can live in Mississauga for years to come.
For more information on Mississauga’s housing plan, visit Growing Mississauga: An Action Plan for New Housing. This plan provides details on how the City is working to increase housing supply, while also simplifying approvals and enhancing housing affordability.
