The City of Mississauga’s Digital Service Squad (DSS) is back again to help small businesses thrive in Mississauga. Made possible through a $67,500 grant awarded to the City by the Ontario Business Improvement Area Association (OBIAA), the Squad will support the digital transformation of local main street businesses through the adoption of digital tools and technologies.
“We know many of our small businesses have faced difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I’d like to thank the federal and provincial governments, and OBIAA for this grant, which couldn’t have come at a better time to help Mississauga businesses become more tech-savvy, remain versatile and competitive,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “Our local businesses are the backbone of our community. “This grant will help give them in recovering from the impacts of the pandemic – which is critical now to help them increase sales locally and be competitive globally.”
Funding for the grant was provided by FedDev Ontario, a federal program. Made up of five digital technology specialists, the DSS will help main street small businesses this fall and winter in Mississauga’s Business Improvement Areas (BIA). The Squad will achieve this by focusing on digital assessments, building an online brand, attracting clients, marketing and selling their products through the use of digital tools and technology, and seeking support from the BIAs to reach their members and local BIA businesses.
“The COVID-19 pandemic hit Ontario’s main streets hard, so Digital Main Street (DMS) is needed more than ever,” said Kay Matthews, Executive Director of OBIAA. “We know that businesses that participated in Digital Main Street last year were better able to cope when the pandemic hit. By helping main street small businesses enhance their digital presence, we want them to be able to embrace the latest technologies and benefit from the expertise of the Digital Service Squad. We hope this grant gives them this opportunity to prepare and flourish well into the future.”The Squad program will be delivered though the Mississauga Business Enterprise Centre (MBEC) under the City’s Economic Development Office (EDO). MBEC provides guidance and support to help individuals start and grow their small business, including:
- free business information and guidance
- low cost business seminars and workshops
- low cost online business courses
- training and mentorship programs
- young entrepreneur program
“The MBEC and our Economic Development Office are excited to again run the Digital Main Street program in Mississauga. After an incredibly successful program in 2019, we feel providing digital support to our small businesses is more important now than ever, especially given the impacts of COVID-19,” said Bonnie Brown, Director, Economic Development. “Main Street businesses are the heart of our community and the DMS program will allow for these businesses to survive and even thrive with the support of our Digital Service Squad.”

This year, Peel Public Health’s recommendation on celebrating Halloween takes into account the risk of COVID-19 transmission in the Peel community. The Halloween guidance reflects what is right for Peel.
In the spirit of community safety, Halloween is not cancelled but will look different this year. Peel Public Health continues to recommend keeping celebrations to close contacts within your immediate household. Trick or treating may be associated with other high-risk activities for spreading the virus, like gathering in groups, close contact and going into other people’s homes.
As such, Peel Public Health and Ontario guidelines discourages traditional door-to-door trick or treating and people should consider alternative ways to celebrate. This can include, but is not limited to:
- Encouraging kids to dress up and participate in virtual activities and parties;
- Organizing a Halloween candy hunt with people living in their own household;
- Carving pumpkins;
- Having a movie night or sharing scary stories; and
- Decorating front lawns.
Additionally, you may wish to visit Ontario’s link on how to celebrate Halloween during COVID-19 at: https://www.ontario.ca/page/how-celebrate-halloween-during-covid-19
