Mississauga Community Legal Services (MCLS) is reminding residents who are receiving housing benefits from the Region of Peel, such as the Rent Geared to Income (RGI) program, that tax season is upon us.
As you may know, the Region of Peel offers free tax clinics to help residents file their taxes. These clinics are staffed by trained volunteers who can provide assistance with a variety of tax-related issues, including claiming the Ontario Trillium Benefit and the GST/HST credit.
This hopefully will help ensure that residents who are receiving housing benefits are aware of this valuable resource and help to avoid preventable issues that can snowball from minor errors to cumbersome, lengthy legal matters.
Annual reviews for housing benefits are mailed out at the end of the year. These reviews are important to ensure that residents are receiving the correct amount of assistance and having a copy of the CRA Notice of Assessment is necessary, see for example: https://peelregion.ca/sites/default/files/2024-04/tenant-annual-review-for-rent.pdf.
If residents have any questions about their taxes or their annual reviews, they can contact MCLS at 905-896-2052 or online at: https://www.mississaugalegalclinic.ca/contact-us/.
Works at the south-side of the Lakeshore Rd. E. and Haig intersection, which include the excavation and rehabilitation of the maintenance hole structure, are set to commence beginning Monday March 31, 2025.
As this maintenance hole is located off the roadway, nearby to the multi-use pathway, to ensure the safety of all workers as well as the general public, the M.U.P. is to be temporarily detoured, and protected, onto the roadway as per the attached traffic control plan drawing.
This detour is to be established beginning March 24, 2025 and is anticipated to be in-place for approximately 3 weeks.
Following completion of our works at this location, the M.U.P. along with the curb-lane will be reinstated to allow the undisturbed flow of traffic (both vehicular and pedestrian).
The Peel Region Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.
Your water will be turned off on Friday, March 21st, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.
Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption
As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:
- Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may affect internal systems that rely on water such as boilers, fire suppression, and alarms.
- Notify the fire alarm company if the interruption could affect an alarm system.
- Have a fire watch completed during the water interruption, as the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function when the water supply is shut off.
After the water interruption
When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. We recommend removing the air by slowly 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). You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds. Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.
Important note
After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking the water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:
- 905-791-7800 extension 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
- 905-791-7800 extension 4409 (after hours or statutory holidays)
