UPDATE – PROGRAM IS FULL – Driveway Windrow Snow Clearing Program – Get ahead of winter weather and apply for the Driveway Windrow Snow Clearing Program

By Resources, Ward 1

WINDROW PROGRAM IS NOW SOLD OUT AND NO LONGER TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR 2023

 

Registration for the City of Mississauga’s Driveway Windrow Snow Clearing Program is now open until Friday, December 1. The program supports Mississauga residents who are 65 years old and older as well as persons with physical disabilities.

A windrow is a pile of snow that is left at the end of a driveway after street snow-clearing operations are completed. Registered participants will get a three-metre space cleared in their driveway windrow so that a car can get in and out safely.

“Winter storms with heavier snowfall have become the new normal, making windrows an unpleasant but unavoidable part of winter in Mississauga and our neighbouring municipalities. We understand the challenges this creates for some residents, which is why we have expanded this popular program so that more residents can get the help they need this winter,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “We have more than doubled the number of spots in the program from 300 to 750. We’ve also opened registration early and extended the deadline. If you or someone you know has trouble clearing their driveway windrow and meets the program qualifications, I encourage you to consider applying.”

The Driveway Windrow Snow Clearing Program runs from Friday, December 1, 2023 to Monday, March 11, 2024 and is available to 750 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost is $200 (non-refundable) for the season or free for those who meet financial assistance criteria.

“We are encouraging and asking those who are interested in this program to register as early as possible because winter weather is unpredictable,” said Helen Noehammer, Director, Works Operations and Maintenance. “When you apply for the program, we complete a site inspection of your driveway so that our crews are prepared to clear a space in the windrow properly and efficiently. Even though registration is open until December 1, any significant snow we get before then may not make it possible for our crews to complete the required driveway inspection. By applying early, we’re able to process your application and complete the necessary inspection so that we’re ready to clear your windrow when snow does arrive.”

Apply online or in person

You will need the following documents to apply:

  • A completed Driveway Windrow Snow Clearing Application Form
  • Proof of residency in Mississauga (e.g. driver’s licence, recent utility bill or lease agreement)
  • If you are 65 years of age or older, you’ll need to provide proof of your age (e.g. birth certificate, driver’s licence or passport)
  • If you are 64 years of age or under, you’ll need to submit one of the following as proof of a physical disability:
  • If you’re applying for the free program, you’ll also need to provide documents that show the total net income or earnings for your household

For registration help, call 311 (or 905-615-4311 outside city limits).

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 Tuesday, August 1st, 2023, from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.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:

TRCA Notification: Invasive Species Management at Arsenal Lands

By Parks, Resources, Ward 1

TRCA strategically manages invasive plant species at specific restoration project sites throughout our jurisdiction. Working closely with their partners, TRCA follows best management practices including integrated pest management that uses a variety of preventative and non-chemical pest management strategies (e.g., continuous mowing to suppress growth, spading, solarizing, and composting) which aligns with TRCA’s Invasive Species Management Strategy. Depending on the severity of the infestation and the plant species, herbicide application is often the best management option that allows restoration of the landscape using native plant species.

This summer they will be applying herbicide to manage invasive Phragmites (Phragmites australis) in the Arsenal Lands (Closest Address: Lakeshore Dr E & Dixie Road, Mississauga, Small Arms Inspection Building) to achieve the larger objective of invasive species management throughout the Peel Region Parks. Using licensed applicators, these species will be treated with herbicide (Habitat Aqua – PCP #32374) following all applicable legislation. Standard regulatory signage will be installed in the treatment area before it occurs and will be removed once management efforts have been completed. Invasive control assessments and necessary adaptive management activities will occur in the coming seasons to further improve the site’s biodiversity.

Spraying will take place between July 24 and August 18. You can find a map of the spray sites below:
