Dear Resident,
Re: Community Virtual Meeting
170 Lakeshore Road East
The City of Mississauga has received an application from Lightpoint Inc. to redevelop their existing plaza at the northwest corner of Lakeshore Road East and Elmwood Avenue North with a 15 storey apartment building containing 149 residential units and ground floor commercial space.
In order to implement their plans, the applicant is proposing to amend the Official Plan and rezone the property. I am hosting this community virtual meeting to provide residents with more information and to have a transparent discussion on the proposed development.
Due to the COVID pandemic, we are not able to have an in-person meeting. Therefore, we have arranged a Community Virtual Meeting on Wednesday, February 2, 2022, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. If you wish to attend and participate in the discussions, please find the call in details below:
When it’s time, join your Webex meeting here.
Meeting number (access code): 2301 693 7783
Meeting password: 5AjKWXBMc62 (52559926 from video systems)

Sincerely,
Stephen Dasko

It’s that time of year when we apply salt to make winter driving and walking easier; however too much salt doesn’t make it any safer. Using salt on roads, sidewalks, parking lots, and driveways has a big impact when snow and ice melt. It can damage infrastructure, wildlife, and personal belongings. This includes cracks and salt stains on concrete surfaces, such as buildings, sidewalks, driveways, and pathways. A lot of salt use can also damage floors and carpets and your personal items such as the undercoating of cars, shoes, and clothing. Apart from stationary objects, your pets and other wildlife can also suffer from oversalting. It can harm pets’ paws when going out for walks and it can even be mistaken for food for pets and birds, resulting in a choking hazard. Read More
