Scheduled Water Interruption Notice – 119 & 121 Cumberland, Mississauga -Aug. 27, 2020

By Events, Issues

August 25, 2020

Dear  Residents:

The Region of Peel Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a reliable supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes they must turn off your water supply while we do the work. In the next few days, they will be working in your area and will have to turn off your water for a few hours.

Your water will be turned off on Thursday, August 27, 2020 from approximately 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. However, if the weather is bad or if a problem arises, we will reschedule the work and will let you know the new date and time.

When they turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. If this happens, you can remove the air by briefly 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). Flush the toilets as well.

You should only have to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds, but keep running it until the water is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.

If your water meter starts to leak, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:

  • (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
  • (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 4409 (After hours or Statutory Holidays)

MiWay Honours Veterans with Free Transit on August 22

By Events, Issues

August 13, 2020

Next week, MiWay will offer free transit for Canadian Armed Forces veterans and their companions on Saturday, August 22 in honour of their service.

Although the Warriors’ Day Parade, held annually since 1921, was cancelled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, MiWay will continue the annual tradition of providing free transit service on the event day to recognize those who have served in the Canadian military.

“We are proud to honour our country’s veterans with complimentary transit service on August 22 to thank them for the sacrifices they have made for our country – COVID-19 doesn’t diminish everything they have done for us,” said Geoff Marinoff, Director, Transit. “Veterans are able to travel on MiWay anywhere in Mississauga to their destination for free with one companion.”

Veterans are asked to identify themselves to the transit operator by wearing their uniform, showing a medal or their Veteran’s Service Card. A companion accompanying a veteran may also ride for free.

Wearing a non-medical mask or face covering is now mandatory on MiWay under the City’s face covering by-law. Children under the age of two and people with disabilities or other medical conditions that prevent them from wearing any mask will not be required to wear one.

For more information, visit miway.ca/coronavirus.

Interim Place’s 9th Annual Steps to End Violence Against Women Walk on Saturday, September 27th, 2020.

By Events

We are pleased to invite you to join us once again for Interim Place’s 9th Annual Steps to End Violence Against Women Walk on Saturday, September 27th, 2020.

This year’s first-ever virtual walk will take place online, with a virtual fitness challenge culminating in a livestreamed Rose Vigil and Awards Ceremony on Sunday, September 27th. To learn more about the event please download our Fundraising Toolkit. To register for the event please visit:   https://interimplace.akaraisin.com/ui/STEPS2020

This walk is an opportunity to honour the lives that have been lost to gender-based violence in Peel Region over the past ten years, and the 47,000 survivors and their children who have walked through Interim Place’s doors and accessed our services.  Since last year’s walk, five women in Peel Region have lost their lives at the hands of men in their lives. Women are at significantly increased risk of gender-based violence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and as such Interim Place’s two 24-hour Shelters, Emergency Crisis Lines, Community Support programming, and Sexual Violence Support Program have and will continue to remain fully operational throughout the pandemic. Due to the increased demand for supports and services, the need for fund raised dollars is greater than ever.

It would mean a great deal to us as an agency, and to the community, to have you join us as a participant in the walk to honour survivors of violence their families and help raise much-needed funds to meet the increasing demands of survivors in our community. Any support you could provide in promoting the event in your networks and/or newsletter would also be very much appreciated.
