Motion to Request Review of EMZO for 1082 Lakeshore Road East – Lakeview Village

By Announcement, Planning & Development, Stephen’s Initiatives

On October 25, 2023, at the City of Mississauga Council meeting, I put forward a Motion that was passed to direct the Acting Mayor and Staff to formally request the Minister of Municipal Affairs to review the MZO (EMZO) Enhanced Ministerial Zoning Order for 1082 Lakeshore Road East, known as Lakeview Village.

The City and I have been working collaboratively with the Lakeview Partners and all stakeholders over the last five (5) years to bring this Master Plan community to life.

My motion, which was passed, is to have the Minister of Municipal Affairs review the EMZO as it was against the Community’s, Council and City’s wishes as we do not believe the decision was justified.

Below is my Motion and my letter to the Minister.  The Acting Mayor’s letter to the Minister is also attached for further information.

2023 Fall Leaf Pickup Program

By Resources, Ward 1
In the fall, the City of Mississauga provides a vacuum leaf pickup service on streets that are more than 35 years old and have many large mature trees.

Where leaves are picked up

You can refer to the leaf pickup route map and schedule to find out if your street is part of the leaf pickup program.

If your address is listed for the leaf pickup service, you’ll get a notice in the mail letting you know when leaves will be picked up in your area.

Rain or early snowfall can impact the collection schedule. To find out if your street is affected, you can call 311 (905-615-4311 outside City limits).

Preparing for leaf pickup

If your area is listed for leaf pickup:

  • Rake your leaves into a neat pile on the boulevard’s edge or into your ditch a day or two before the start of your collection week – Do not rake them onto the stret
  • Don’t mix other items such as wood, bricks or brush as they can damage equipment and injure workers
  • Keep the road and curbside storm drains clear of raked leaves
  • Do not place garbage bags or bins on top of loose leaf piles
  • Remove parked cars and sports equipment from the road

If you missed leaf pickup

If you missed the City’s leaf pickup or more leaves fall after your scheduled leaf pickup:

The Region of Peel will pick up leaves and yard waste that you have collected and placed in bins or paper bags on your regular waste collection day until December 8.

You can compost your leaves or spread them around the base of your trees to fertilize the soil by protecting it against extreme temperatures.

Contact us

If you need more information about the City’s leaf pickup program, call 311 (905-615-4311 outside city limits).

Mississauga selected to host Ontario’s top country music awards in 2024 and 2026

By Announcement, Events

The City of Mississauga is thrilled to share that the Country Music Association of Ontario (CMAO) has selected Mississauga to be the host city for the CMAOntario Festival and Awards in 2024 and 2026.

“Mississauga is honoured and excited to welcome the 12th annual CMAOntario Festival and Awards,” said Acting Mayor and Ward 3 Councillor Chris Fonseca. “As Canada’s seventh-largest city and 2023 Music City of the Year, we are home to world-class, diverse musicians and a vibrant live music scene that attracts visitors from across Canada. I want to thank CMAO for choosing Mississauga to hold this prestigious music festival. We look forward to celebrating Ontario’s artists and welcoming them to our city next summer.”

CMAO has partnered with Visit Mississauga and the City of Mississauga to bring a weekend of live music, concerts and activities to the city from May 31 to June 2, 2024, with a spectacular awards show planned for Sunday, June 2 at the Living Arts Centre.

“Hosting these prestigious awards in our city truly highlights that we have great spaces to share and enjoy music while advancing our Music Strategy,” said Jodi Robillos, Commissioner, Community Services. “As a City, we’re focused on amplifying Mississauga’s music scene and helping advance local artists and talent. I want to acknowledge Victoria Clarke and the Visit Mississauga team for their sponsorship role and for working to bring this fantastic event to our city, and thank CMAO for selecting Mississauga to host this event first in 2024 and then again in 2026.”

Earlier this year, Mississauga was named the 2023 Music City of the Year and was recognized for its efforts in establishing a Music Strategy with a goal of positioning the city as an incubator for top musical talent and national destination for live music events and festivals.

In 2022, the City announced its first Music Strategy: 2022-2026, which identifies 32 actions over the next five years to support the growth and development of Mississauga’s music industry. It focuses on four guiding principles, which include amplifying Mississauga’s artists, creating a favourable environment for live music, supporting underrepresented people and groups, and celebrating Mississauga’s history and success.
