The Compass Back to School Supplies Drive

By Resources, Ward 1

In the blink of an eye, summer vacation is over and school is just around the corner. Going back to school should be an exciting time for kids, but the experience for children from low-income families may be just the opposite. Purchasing school supplies isn’t a luxury all families can afford. Sadly, it can bring embarrassment and can often affect a child’s school participation and academic achievement. Though the act of receiving new school supplies may seem small, the impact is enormous.

They need all donations of NEW items in-house no later than Friday August 11th so they can pack them up for distribution to families in need beginning August 14th.

Drop off NEW items or Walmart/Staples Gift Cards to The Compass at 427 Lakeshore Road East, Mississauga at the back receiving doors during our business hours. Please do not leave items in the outside donation bin.

Last year with your help they provided school supplies to 310 children in need. The numbers this year indicate that the need is to fill 400 knapsacks.

By Resources, Ward 1

INTERRUPTION DETAILS

Date and Time:         Wednesday, August 2, 2023, from 4:00 a.m. to 5:30 a.m.

Location:                    Lakeshore Road W and Benson Ave                             

Addresses Affected:  298-380 Lakeshore Road W, 3-10 Benson Ave

Project #:                   T-17004Ma

Regional Inspector:  John Sedore

Telephone #               416-706-1114 Ext 3246/47

The Region of Peel 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 Wednesday, August 2, 2023, from 4:00 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.

If this interruption may affect an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them.  During the time that the water supply is interrupted, the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function.  A fire watch should be performed as necessary during time.

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). Flush the toilets as well. 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 your water meter (usually located in the basement).  If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:

  • (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
  • (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 4409 (After hours or Statutory Holidays)
