Making History:

The Lakeshore Art Trail Celebrates its 25th Anniversary this October

The Lakeshore Art Trail (LAT) is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a ticketed Gala evening on Friday, October 16, which will kick off the weekend’s art show and sale.

For over 25 years, the Lakeshore Art Trail has strengthened the local arts scene, supported artists at all stages of their careers, and created meaningful opportunities for the community to experience and celebrate the visual arts. LAT has become the largest fine art show and sale in Mississauga with 40 exhibiting artists, and has its sights set on growing over the next few years to bring a show of the same size and calibre as Toronto and other GTA arts events to Mississauga.

Friday, October 16 | 6:30–9:00PM: Gala Event

Saturday, October 17 | 10:00AM–5:00PM: Art Show & Sale

Sunday, October 18 | 10:00AM–4:00PM: Art Show & Sale

Tickets

Weekend Art Show & Sale – Free

Location

Small Arms Inspection Building

1352 Lakeshore Road East

Mississauga, ON L5E 1E9

The excitement surrounding the 25th anniversary is building among the group. “I am so proud of the work that the Executive Committee is putting in to make this landmark year the best Lakeshore Art Trail yet, not to mention the finest art show Mississauga has seen,” said Celina Melo, Chairperson of LAT.

The group’s first-ever gala will welcome special guests such as dignitaries and community members, alongside a silent auction, draws, licensed drinks, hors d’oeuvres, exclusive early viewing of the art show with artist meet-and-greets, and live music by Mississauga band Streetfire and Jazz vocalist Alyssa Michael. Tickets may be purchased through EventBrite. No tickets will be sold at the door. Tickets include one drink ticket. Additional drinks are available for purchase.

The FREE weekend Art Show & Sale will follow on Saturday, October 17 (10:00AM–5:00PM) and Sunday, October 18 (10:00AM–4:00PM) with 40+ artists exhibiting their artwork at the Small Arms Inspection Building, 1352 Lakeshore Road East, Mississauga. The location offers free parking and is wheelchair accessible.

The lively art show and sale features 40 artist booths, including two sponsored booths for emerging artists with special needs, and a separate Youth Arts display sponsored by DPSU. LAT distinguishes itself from other art events in Mississauga as it strictly focuses on fine art (painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media). A full list of participating artists (with their bios, photos of their work, and links to their individual websites) is available at lakeshorearttrail.com.

Saturday programming will include free drop-in artist workshops, live music, and a community craft table, while the Sunday art show & sale will be alongside the Lakeview Farmers Market.

“It brings me such fulfillment to hear year after year from artists who tell us that this is ‘By far the best indoor venue [they] have exhibited in’ and that they see the work we put in to maintain our roots as ‘An art show with heart that celebrates community’,” said Melo. “With strong support from our local leaders at all levels of government, CreativeHub 1352, Mississauga Arts Council, Mississauga Community Foundations grant, and sponsorship by local community businesses, LAT is truly a community venture.”

About the Lakeshore Art Trail

The Lakeshore Art Trail is organized by an artist-run Executive Committee. In the past, participating artists showcased their creations out of their studios or local businesses across Clarkson, Port Credit, and Lorne Park. In 2022, the event changed its location to the Small Arms Inspection Building in partnership with CreativeHub 1352 for the first time, bringing together all 24 artists to display and sell their work under one roof. At the time, exhibiting artist Wendy Bowe said, “I’m really looking forward to this year, because visitors will get to see all of the artists assembled in one space.” The show did not disappoint, bringing in over 2,000 visitors that first year. With each year, the show continues to grow and we currently expect to welcome over 4,000 visitors throughout the weekend event.

Make, repair and reuse items during Circular Economy Month

By Events, Resources

This October, find ways to reduce waste, save money and make your belongings last longer. Donate, recycle, repair and reuse items instead of throwing them away.

Environment | September 29, 2026

A volunteer is fixing a bike at a repair hub event while a young boy watches.

Nearly 500 million kilograms of clothing and other textiles are thrown away in Canada each year. Many electronics are also discarded, even though almost two-thirds of them still work. Instead of buying new items this Circular Economy Month, choose to repair, share, donate or recycle them to extend their usefulness.

A circular economy is about getting the most use out of the things we own by using them for longer. These small actions can reduce waste, help the environment and save money.

Learn how to give your items a second life this October by participating in Circular Economy Month events throughout Mississauga.

Events

Recycle clothing, electronics and more

The City is partnering with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s Partners in Project Green program to host a collection drive from October 12 to 25. Residents can drop off unwanted clothing, textiles and electronics at collection bins located at one of 13 City facilities.

Get creative at a makerspace workshop

The library offers makerspace programs where you can learn new skills such as:

  • 3D printing
  • Using a Cricut machine
  • Sewing
  • Laser cutting

These skills can help you repair items, create gifts or make projects using recycled materials.

Makerspace programs are available at:

Borrow instead of buying

Your library card gives you access to more than books and media. You can also borrow these items for free through the Library of Things:

  • Laptops
  • Fishing rods and tackle boxes
  • Guitars
  • Lifejackets
  • Pickleball sets and more!

Borrowing items from the Library of Things instead of buying them helps reduce waste and saves money.

Charge up your fire safety knowledge this Fire Prevention Week

By Announcement, Events

Learn how simple charging habits can help prevent fires and keep your home and family safe.

Emergency and public safety | September 28, 2026

Every October, Fire Prevention Week is a reminder that fire safety starts with simple actions at home. From October 4 to 10, Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services (MFES) is encouraging residents to learn how safe device charging habits can help prevent fires and keep homes, families and communities safe. Meet MFES members at various locations in the city during the week to learn about fire safety.Fire Prevention Week is an annual public education campaign that helps people learn how to prevent fires and stay safe in an emergency. Observed across North America, it provides an opportunity for residents to refresh their fire safety knowledge, review emergency plans and learn about fire risks that affect homes and communities today.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, “Charge Into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower,” focuses on the everyday charging habits that can reduce the risk of fires caused by lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are found in many devices people use every day including cell phones, laptops, tablets, e-bikes, e-scooters and power tools. They store a large amount of energy in a small space and can become dangerous if they are damaged, used incorrectly or charged improperly.

The theme reflects a growing concern for fire services across North America. As rechargeable batteries become more common in homes, workplaces and transportation devices, fire departments are responding to more incidents involving lithium-ion batteries. MFES has identified lithium-ion batteries as the city’s fastest-growing ignition source, recording a 122 per cent increase in lithium-ion battery-related fires in 2025 compared to the year before. These fires can start suddenly, spread quickly and are often difficult to extinguish. With these batteries becoming more common in devices that residents use every day, understanding how to charge, use and store them safely can help prevent fires and protect the people, places and things that we care about.

Battery charging safety tips

With more incidents related to battery fires occurring in Mississauga, it is important to understand how to safely use them. MFES encourages residents to:

  • Only purchase products, replacement batteries and chargers from reputable manufacturers. Avoid aftermarket, modified or counterfeit battery components that may lack important safety protections.
  • Never modify, tamper with or attempt to repair batteries yourself.
  • Charge batteries on hard, non-combustible surfaces, away from beds, couches, carpets and other combustible materials.
  • Avoid charging devices overnight or close to where you sleep, as they can overheat and could catch fire.
  • If you notice a battery is swollen, bulging, overheating or making strange noises, stop using it immediately.

Fire safety tips for the fall

As temperatures cool and people spend more time indoors, MFES encourages residents to review these fire safety basics:

  • Test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms every month.
  • Review and practise your home escape plan with everyone in your household.
  • Stay in the kitchen while cooking and keep flammable items away from the stove.
  • Keep space heaters at least one metre from anything that can burn.
  • Store matches and lighters out of reach from children.
  • Make sure pathways and exits remain clear and accessible.

Meet Mississauga Fire Education Team

During Fire Prevention Week, MFES will participate in community events across Mississauga to share fire safety information, answer questions and provide practical tips residents can use at home. Community outreach activities give residents an opportunity to connect with  public educators while learning about everyday actions that can help prevent fires.

Registration is not required. Community appearances during Fire Prevention Week include:

Residents can also visit the Fire Prevention Week web page throughout the week to:

  • Learn more about this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme.
  • Access fire safety resources and educational materials.
  • Find additional information about lithium-ion battery safety.
  • Stay up to date on Fire Prevention Week activities and community outreach events.

525 native trees and shrubs planted in Mississauga at TD Tree Days

By Events, Parks

Volunteers helped put down roots for a greener Mississauga at Courtneypark Athletic Fields.

City services | September 23, 2026

TD Tree Days event on September 19 helps grow Mississauga’s urban forest and advance the City’s goal of planting one million trees by 2032.

While leaves will soon begin to fall this season, volunteers are helping grow Mississauga’s urban forest one tree at a time.

125 volunteers signed up to plant 525 native trees and shrubs, such as Sugar Maple, White Birch and White Spruce, on September 19 at Courtneypark Athletic Fields as part of TD Tree Days. Not only will the trees add to the city’s greenery, but they will also strengthen local biodiversity.

The City selected Courtneypark Athletic Fields as part of a bigger plan to naturalize approximately one hectare of mowed turfgrass. The planting will create new habitat for wildlife, strengthen connections between nearby green spaces and contribute to a healthier, more resilient urban forest. Over time, the trees and shrubs will provide additional benefits such as increased shade, carbon storage and improved air quality.

Since 2014, the City’s partnership with TD Tree Days has helped bring volunteers together to restore natural areas and plant thousands of trees and shrubs across Mississauga.

These annual events support the City’s broader efforts to expand Mississauga’s urban forest and improve the health of local ecosystems.

The planting also supports the City’s One Million Trees program, a key initiative advancing the goals of Mississauga’s Natural Heritage and Urban Forest Strategy by enhancing biodiversity and strengthening the urban forest for future generations.

More ways to get involved

The September 19 event was the first of three TD Tree Days planting events at Courtneypark Athletic Fields.

Community members still have two opportunities to participate from 9 a.m. to noon:

In total, the City will plant a total of 1,175 native trees and shrubs at Courtneypark Athletic Fields.

Recognizing National Tree Day

On this National Tree Day (September 23), learn how the City is working to grow and protect Mississauga’s urban forest and the many benefits trees provide to our community.
