SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION NOTICE – 25A/25B Pine Avenue North – Thursday, March 13th, from 9:00am to 5:00pm

By Resources, Ward 1

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 Thursday, March 13th, from 9:00am to 5:00pm. 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)

Renoviction Bylaw – Community Engagement

By Issues, Planning & Development

The City is developing a renoviction by-law to help protect tenants and promote lawful rental unit practices while balancing the needs of landlords.

An unlawful renoviction happens when landlords evict tenants to complete renovations and fail to follow the N13 process under the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA). Landlords may be unclear or unaware that they must follow the N13 notice process and have a building permit from the City if they want their unit to be vacated to complete a renovation. Additionally, tenants may not know or understand their rights, including their right to secure a return after renovations are complete.

A renoviction by-law can help protect tenants from unlawful evictions by requiring landlords to follow the N13 notice process and obtain the necessary building permits from the City to complete their renovation.

Consultation and engagement

Throughout March and April, the City will be conducting public engagement and community consultations. Legal Services, in collaboration with Planning & Building and Strategic Communications & Initiatives, has developed an engagement framework that includes both general and focused consultations.

Residents will have the opportunity to provide input through a virtual community meeting and survey:

  • The virtual community meeting will take place on Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at 6 p.m. Please register if you would like to attend.
  • The online survey is available until Wednesday, April 16, 2025.

More information about the public engagement can be found at mississauga.ca/renoviction. A project page is also available.

Reporting back to Council

All information and research collected will be summarized in a corporate report. City staff are expected to report back to Council in Q4 with a detailed analysis and the proposed by-law.

Statement on the Cancellation of the Paint The Town Red Canada Day Event

By Announcement, Events, Ward 1

For those who are not aware, the Paint the Town Red volunteer committee has decided not to have their usual Canada Day celebrations this year.

I am disappointed as I’m sure we all are, that it’s not possible to take place this year due a variety of reasons primarily because of the current economic climate and uncertainty to move forward.

The Paint The Town Red volunteer committee have worked endlessly over the years and are working on new ideas and plans for next year, which will be even more exciting.

I know how much this event means to our community, and I want to acknowledge the incredible efforts made by the dedicated volunteers who organize it every year. I understand how difficult this decision was for them.  With special thanks to Johnny Bozzo and Diane Goldsmith.

I worked closely with the group to explore all possible options to keep the event going and truly appreciate their commitment to making it happen. While it is unfortunate that we won’t be celebrating Canada Day under the direction of Paint the Town Red, I am working with other community groups to find ways of celebrating Canada Day in Ward 1.

My ongoing support and commitment will always remain with the PTTR committee, and I look forward to many more years of celebrating Canada Day in our community!

Help Shape Peel’s Multi-Year Accessibility Plan

By Resources

Peel Region is asking the community to complete a short survey to provide input for its 2026-2030 Multi-Year Accessibility Plan (MYAP). This feedback will help shape an accessible and inclusive future.

The survey is asking people with disabilities, their caregivers, friends and families, as well as community agencies, business owners and the public to help identify barriers people with disabilities experience when accessing Peel Region services.   The survey is available in many formats including on-line and in a printed form which can be downloaded and emailed to Peel Region. Additionally, those wishing to speak with Peel Region can complete the survey by calling 905-791-7800 and speaking with one of Peel’s Customer Service Representatives. The survey closes on April 15, 2025. It’s available at peelregion.ca/accessibility-survey.

Suspected cases of avian influenza detected in Peel Region

By Announcement, Issues

BRAMPTON, ON (March 7, 2025) – Peel Public Health suspects cases of avian influenza in wild birds in Peel following the discovery of a large number of dead birds in the region recently. The Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative is currently testing the birds to determine the cause of death.

Avian influenza primarily infects wild birds but can be transmitted to poultry and other mammals. Rarely, avian influenza may also spread to people. The risk of bird-to-human transmission is low. There have been no human cases of avian influenza in Peel or Ontario.

If you find sick or dead wild birds, avoid handling them if possible, and contact your local municipal animal control department or the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative.

To limit the spread of avian influenza and protect the health and safety of residents and pets, Peel Public Health has the following advice:

  • If handling dead birds or animals is necessary, wear gloves, place the dead bird or animal in a doubled plastic bag and tie it closed. Then, wash your hands thoroughly. They can be placed, double-bagged, in the garbage for disposal.
  • Consider removing backyard bird feeders and bird baths. If they cannot be fully removed, place as far away from family pets as possible and clean with 10 per cent bleach at least once every two weeks.
  • Keep family pets away from birds and fecal matter.
  • Keep cats indoors and dogs on leash to limit the potential for an encounter with an infected bird.
  • Do not feed family pets raw meat from game birds or poultry.
  • Do not feed or otherwise interact with wild birds.
  • Pet birds, if not normally kept indoors, should be restricted to the indoors.
  • Residents who raise backyard chickens, own pet birds or maintain other flocks, should monitor them for signs of avian influenza and follow preventive actions recommended by the Province and Government of Canada.
  • Do not attempt to retrieve or help birds from seemingly frozen bodies of water as ice and water conditions are unsafe.
  • If you become ill with influenza (flu) symptoms (including fever, cough, difficulty breathing, muscle aches, headache and/or red watery eyes) within 10 days of handling wild birds or other wildlife, see your healthcare provider. Inform your healthcare provider that you have been in contact with wildlife.

The risk of avian influenza spreading to humans is extremely rare. There are no indicators of increasing risk to the general public at this time. Additional details will be provided as they become available. More information on avian influenza can be found on the Ministry of Health’s website.
