Invasive species control using herbicide
Herbicide application to control Dog-Strangling Vine and Japanese Knotweed in natural areas will occur on various dates between June 8th – June 19th at Adamson Estate. Additionally, Lilly of the Valley, Common Burdock and Yellow Archangel will be treated between June 8th – June 19th at Cawthra Woods.
If any touch ups are needed the contractors will be returning between July 6th – July 17th.
Phragmites (Common Reed) treatment will also occur on various dates between July 27th – August 14th at Cawthra Woods and Park 510 (330 Indian Valley Trail).
If any touch ups are needed for phragmites control the contractors will be returning between September 8th – September 11th.
Contractors working on behalf of the City (Invasive Phragmites Control Centre) will be applying RoundUp WeatherPRO (Glyphosate) or Habitat Aqua (Imazapyr) directly to the plants using a handheld/backpack sprayer to minimize impacts to plants in the surrounding area. Habitat Aqua will only be used in wet areas and the City has obtained the proper permits to apply this herbicide.
Notification signs will be posted at all access points to the spray area at least 24 hours prior to treatment and will be removed no less than 48 hours after treatment. Timelines may be extended as needed depending on weather conditions.
This work supports the City’s Invasive Species Management Program and improves the health of natural areas across the City.

Carmen Corbasson Community Centre has been named a recipient of the 2026 Ontario Association of Architects Design Excellence Award, marking a significant achievement for the City of Mississauga. The prestigious award recognizes projects that demonstrate architectural excellence and make a meaningful contribution to the communities they serve.

About the design
Designed as a “pavilion in the forest,” re-designed Carmen Corbasson Community Centre strengthens its relationship to its woodland surroundings through a simple rectangular mass timber structure, introducing transparency and framing nature as an active participant in daily recreation. The 45,000-square-foot expansion integrates a pool, fitness centre, and aerobics studio with the existing arena and gymnasium complex.
Unifying multiple construction eras, the project extends the original building’s architectural logic while resolving circulation and accessibility challenges, and drawing daylight deep into the interior. The result is a design that expands programming opportunities, while renewing the centre’s role as a vibrant community hub.
Background
The Ontario Association of Architects Design Excellence Awards recognize outstanding architectural projects across the province that demonstrate design quality and a positive impact on communities.
In 2026, the Ontario Association of Architects selected 20 finalists through a jury of design professionals. This year’s finalists represent a range of building types, including sustainably designed community centres, innovative housing projects, revitalized academic and cultural facilities, and transformative public spaces.
The awards highlight the work of Ontario architects who design spaces, buildings and communities that enhance the environment and support meaningful human activity.
