Why it matters
The City shares budget and financial information openly so residents can understand how decisions are made. The reports also reflect the City’s financial standing and show how tax dollars are used to fund everyday services that residents rely on. This includes services like fire services, MiWay transit, libraries, roads and infrastructure, parks, trails and support for small businesses.

Sport plays a vital role in connecting people and communities in Mississauga, unifying a diverse population by turning play into a shared sense of belonging. A League of Our Own celebrates team sports and shares the stories of local athletes and coaches. This exhibition will be on display at the Museums of Mississauga’s Adamson Estate from April 23 to September 6. It is a chance to experience a variety of artifacts tied to Mississauga’s sporting history, including sports uniforms, and Rikén:å – Little Brother – a unique art piece which embodies the lived experiences of a Mohawk lacrosse athlete. Through interactive experiences, visitors are invited to be a part of the action and reflect on their own memories involving sport.
A League of Our Own was developed by Randa Bustami,
Emily Owen, Portia Piasentin, and Ankush Sood as part of the Faculty of Information’s Museum Studies Capstone Projects course, in consultation with Dr. Irina D. Mihalache.

In Ontario, pavement markings are considered a guidance or advisory system that works in conjunction with regulations identified by signs and traffic signals. They are not an enforceable traffic device on their own.
Painted edge-lines have proven to be successful in reducing operating speeds on residential roadways by visually reducing the travelled width of the roadway making it less comfortable for motorists to increase their operating speeds. It is important to note that these edge-lines are not designated bicycle lanes, do not delineate a pedestrian pathway or on-street parking, nor do they impact the existing parking regulations on the roadway. Motorists are free to track over the lines while navigating the roadway, especially when passing an oncoming vehicle, provided it is safe to do so.
Painting of edge-lines are considered a “soft” traffic calming measure and a relatively inexpensive and effective first step in addressing local residential traffic safety concerns.
The community is invited to celebrate a day filled with activities and to check out the new park amenities.

The extra funding will help get 3,600 new rental units under construction including 545 with more affordable rents.
City building | April 14, 2026
Council has approved an increase in funding for the Affordable Rental Housing Community Improvement Plan (CIP) from $44 million to $70 million. The CIP offers grants for developers who want to build rental buildings with affordable units. The grants must be spent by July 31, 2027.
The additional funding for the program will come from the City’s third instalment of the federal Housing Accelerator Fund.
Strong interest in the program
The CIP is designed to quickly increase the supply of rental housing, including affordable and below-market units. The program provides financial incentives for private and non-profit developers, including grants and the waiving of certain fees, to help offset the costs of shovel-ready rental projects with affordable units.
Developers and homeowners have shown strong interest in the CIP since it was adopted in July 2024. The new funding is expected to help get more than 3,600 new purpose-built rental units under construction, including 545 with more affordable rents.
Council also approved an additional $1 million to the CIP to help continue to fund gentle density rebates. To date, the CIP has funded over $562,000 in rebates for homeowners who added second, third and fourth units in neighbourhoods. It has supported over 580 additional residential units and three fourplex applications.
The success of the CIP underscores the City’s ongoing leadership to improve housing supply and make affordable rentals more accessible for residents with moderate incomes.
Building more homes, faster
The CIP is one part of the City’s broader efforts to bring down the cost of renting or owning a home and make it easier to build more housing.
In January 2025, Council adopted the Mayor’s motion to further reduce development charges (DC) in Mississauga. Under the City’s incentives program, DCs for purpose-built rental apartments have been reduced by 100 per cent for 1-bedroom + den, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units. All other residential units benefit from a 50 per cent DC reduction.
Mississauga Official Plan 2051 sets a strong vision for the future of the city and brings new policies that will allow for the construction of more than 370,000 new residential units city-wide by 2051.
The CIP aligns with the City’s goals to support affordability, accessibility and aging in place. Building more purpose-built rental units fulfils key actions under the City’s Action Plan for New Housing and recommendations from the Mayor’s Housing Task Force.
BRAMPTON, Ont. (April 13, 2026): During 911 Awareness Week in Peel, April 12 to 18, residents are reminded to use 911 only in true emergencies so those in life-threatening situations get help quicker. Misuse of 911 places unnecessary strain on emergency services and may delay response times for those in critical need.
In 2025, there were 637,645 calls to 911 in Peel. Nearly 16% of these were accidental or non-emergency calls.
Simple steps, such as locking mobile devices and avoiding programming 911 into speed dial, can help reduce accidental calls. It’s also important to teach children when and how to call 911 and how to recognize a real emergency. If 911 is called accidentally, callers should stay on the phone and let the operator know.
For non-emergencies, residents should call the appropriate number:
- 211 for social services such as housing, employment, or senior supports.
- 311 for municipal services such as garbage, building permits, and bylaws.
- 811 for confidential answers to health questions.
- 988 – a Suicide Crisis Helpline that offers a safe space to talk 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Residents are also asked to use police non-emergency numbers to report excessive noise, accidents without injury, or theft if the intruder has left:
- 905-453-3311 for Peel Police
More information about the proper use of 911 can be found at peelregion.ca/911.
BRAMPTON, Ont. – April 13, 2026. Peel Region will be collecting single-use and rechargeable batteries at the curb, starting April 20.
Check your waste collection calendar to find your battery pickup day.
Here’s how to prepare and set out your batteries for collection:
- Put your used single-use and rechargeable batteries in a transparent, sealed bag.
- Tape over the metal contacts of all rechargeable and 9V batteries.
- Tape around button cell batteries.
- On your battery pickup day, place your battery bag on top of your closed green bin. If you don’t have a green bin, place your battery bag beside your recycling.
Peel Region has collected more than 271,000 kgs of batteries that could have otherwise ended up in the landfill.
If you miss your battery pickup day, visit the Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! website to find a free drop-off location where you can safely dispose of batteries throughout the year. You can also drop off batteries for free year-round at any Community Recycling Centre near you.
Batteries should never be put in your garbage, recycling, or organics bins – they can cause fires in collection trucks and at facilities, putting workers at risk. By properly disposing of batteries, you’re helping keep hazardous materials out of landfills, protecting our environment and our Peel community.
