The Mississauga Arts Council (MAC), Peel Region, and Stantec are excited to unveil a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Lakeshore Mural Project (also known as the Lakeshore Road Artistic Hoarding Mural Project). This initiative seeks to commission four digital murals to adorn hoardings placed around various locations on Lakeshore Road in Port Credit, Mississauga. The RFP is exclusively open to professional artists based in Mississauga, aiming to offer significant artistic platforms for local talent.
“I was excited by this idea I put forward to Peel Region and the Mississauga Arts Council and they were happy to execute it,” says Ward 1 Councillor, Stephen Dasko, ”Over the next few years of construction taking place on the Lakeshore Trunk Sewer and Sub-transmission Main, we will have incredible local artists displaying their talents for everyone to enjoy!”
The digitally rendered hoarding murals will be placed in 4 locations in South Mississauga. Richard’s Memorial Park, Pine Avenue, Wesley Avenue, and 5A & 5B Front Street.
Deadline to apply for all projects is April 29, 2024.

I will be hosting a community meeting on Thursday March 21, at Clarke Hall in Port Credit at 6:30 p.m. to give the public more information on the upcoming Lakeshore Road Water Main Project. Please contact my office for more information.

The City is preparing to finalize its new Official Plan to guide how Mississauga will grow and develop over the next 25 years. From housing and transportation to the environment and economy, the Official Plan includes important policies that help to shape our city.

To date, public input has played an important part in shaping the policies that make up the new Official Plan, including:
- Where housing, industry, offices and shops should go
- Which services and amenities such as parks, schools, roads, trails and transit are needed
- How we protect the city’s culture, heritage and environment
- How the city should grow and what growth will look like
The draft new Official Plan will be available on the City’s website for review the week of February 12, 2024.
