The City of Mississauga is streaming a virtual Public Information Centre (PIC) to present initial study findings for the Port Credit Storm Drainage Master Plan. The recorded PIC will be available to stream at https://bit.ly/3RJ9Zch between July 26 to August 16, 2022.

This study is evaluating the drainage system capacity and collecting information on potential drainage issues in Port Credit, including the impacts of infill and intensification development as well as climate change. This will allow the City to mitigate any identified deficiencies.

Public experience with flooding or drainage issues in the area is encouraged to be shared. Comments are requested to be received by August 16, 2022.

We have been notified that DFO will be treating the Credit River with lampricide (a pesticide to kill sea lamprey) in Norval.  We anticipate seeing the Credit River being a yellowish colour today, which can remain for up to 24 hours.  If the date of treatment changes, I will provide an update.

Sea lamprey are parasitic and have a major impact on our fish populations.  The lampricide is used to control sea lamprey populations and is approved for use in Canada.  The lampricide selectively kills sea lampreys without significantly harming other plants or animals or having long-term impacts on the environment.    It has been used in the Great Lakes systems since 1958.
