Remembering John V. Holland (1928 – 2025)

By Uncategorized
A life-long resident of Mississauga, John Holland was born in Lorne Park and spent most of his life in Port Credit, where he attended Port Credit High School.
John served as president of Mississauga Motors Ltd. in Port Credit before opening his own dealership, John Holland Chevrolet Ltd., in Burlington.
Beyond his business success, John gave back generously to his community. He served as a councillor and Deputy Reeve for the Town of Port Credit, and was a driving force behind the construction of the Port Credit Arena. As the first chair of the committee that raised funds and oversaw its building, John’s legacy lives on in this important community landmark. He later worked to have the arena recognized as a heritage site, and in 2017 was inducted into the Mississauga Sports Hall of Fame for his efforts.
A dedicated parishioner of St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church for his entire life, John served as a Eucharistic minister for 25 years and on the parish’s financial board for 50 years.
The City of Mississauga will lower its flags to half-mast on Friday, September 19 in his honour.
Our thoughts are with John’s family, friends, and all who were touched by his lifelong commitment to our community.

Stop on red, protect a life ahead

By Uncategorized

The City reminds drivers that they must do a complete stop at a red light, including when making a right turn.

July 3, 2025

Running a red light is dangerous and illegal, and it continues to be a problem at many major Mississauga intersections. According to CAA’s study at 20 intersections in Canada, one in every 770 pedestrians and one in every 500 cyclists in the country was involved in a high risk or critical risk near-miss. The majority of these near-misses involve right-turning vehicles (55 per cent for pedestrians and 50 per cent for cyclists). Running a red light means driving through an intersection after a traffic light turns red or not coming to a complete stop at a red light before making a right turn.

Running a red light has serious consequences and may result in a collision, life-altering injury or death. The City of Mississauga is reminding drivers to stop at red lights to help protect your own life and others – whether it’s a pedestrian, cyclist, transit user, passenger or another driver.

Stop on red, protect a life ahead

Drivers must come to a complete stop at red lights

Running a red light is considered aggressive driving that significantly contributes to collisions in the city. By law, drivers must stop at a red light and not enter the intersection. This includes before making a right turn. If drivers are making a right turn, they must come to a complete stop and check for pedestrians, cyclists and other traffic before proceeding. When the light turns yellow, drivers should slow down to a stop unless it’s unsafe to do so.

Peel Region has installed 19 red light cameras in Mississauga as a safety initiative to deter drivers from running red lights.

Traffic signal with red light

City’s review of 20 intersections

In 2023, the City led a review of intersections across Mississauga. Based on observations of driver behaviour at 20 intersections, it is estimated that an average of more than 240 drivers per year fail to stop at a red light at each location. That is more than 4,800 red light violations in one year at just 20 intersections. With hundreds of traffic signals across the city, this is a growing safety risk.

Working towards Vision Zero by improving intersections

The City is working towards the long-term Vision Zero goal of zero traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries on Mississauga roads. The City’s Vision Zero Action Plan has 99 actions that are being implemented over the next few years. This includes education around reminding drivers to come to a complete stop at red lights.

To learn more about other Vision Zero initiatives and actions, visit mississauga.ca/visionzero.

If you see a vehicle involved in dangerous and aggressive behaviour, you can report it to Peel Regional Police’s Road Watch program online: peelpolice.ca/en/report-it/make-a-report-online.aspx#What-types-of-reports-can-I-file-online

SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION NOTICE 1086 Balment Ave, Mississauga – Wednesday, July 2rd, 2025, from 10:00am- 5:00pm

By Resources, Uncategorized, Ward 1

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 Wednesday, July 2rd, 2025, from 10:00am- 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)
