Don’t let the warm weather increase your chances of an indoor or outdoor fire.
Summer brings warm weather and outdoor fun, but it’s also a time to be extra mindful of fire safety. High temperatures, dry conditions, and increased outdoor activities like barbequing and firepits can all raise the risk of fires.
When spending time indoors at home, test smoke alarms regularly and review your fire escape plan with Mississauga Fire and Emergency Service’s (MFES).

Mississauga’s approach to homelessness is grounded in dignity and respect for every individual, including those living in encampments.
July 18, 2025
Inadequate housing, funding shortfalls, overwhelmed shelters, limited resources, and personal circumstances such as job loss, mental health issues, and substance abuse, have led to many residents facing eviction, and lacking the means to provide for themselves and their families. Not everyone chooses to live in an encampment. For many, it’s a last resort when they have nowhere else to turn to.
Across Mississauga, encampments have sprouted up in parks, under bridges, and in vacant lots, highlighting the urgency of this issue for all to see.
Every individual in Mississauga, including those living in encampments, deserve dignity and respect. This sentiment underscores Mississauga’s approach to addressing the issue, focusing on compassion and support rather than be punished.
On June 26, Peel Region Council approved a new Co-ordinated Homeless Encampment Response, establishing a consistent, compassionate and collaborative human rights-based approach to supporting people experiencing homelessness in Mississauga.
Mississauga’s approach is grounded in dignity and respect for every individual, including those living in encampments. The City, in partnership with Peel Region and community organizations, is committed to a coordinated, human rights-based response that balances the needs of encampment residents with those of the broader community.
Key elements of the Regional response:
Protocols developed and approved by Regional Council form the basis for Mississauga’s response to encampments. The City of Mississauga, with its and community partners, continues to work on appropriate responses that uphold the rights of those living outdoors while providing safe housing options and necessary supports. The Peel Street Outreach team plays a crucial role in this effort, conducting regular wellness checks and facilitating referrals to alternative shelter and supportive services.
However, the challenge is daunting. Peel’s emergency shelter system is currently operating at 130 per cent capacity, forcing the Region to contract with hotels for overflow rooms. This strain on resources highlights the urgent need for increased funding and support from provincial and federal governments.
Despite these coordinated efforts, resources are stretched thin. Peel Region’s emergency shelter system is operating at 130 per cent capacity, requiring the use of hotels for overflow. There is a significant funding gap: Peel Region residents receive $578 less per person annually from the Government of Ontario for municipal and social services compared to other regions, amounting to an $868 million shortfall each year. This impacts critical services including housing, mental health, and youth programs.
There are simply not enough resources to meet the growing need. Addressing the issue of unhoused individuals and encampments requires ongoing, increased investment and a shared commitment from all levels of government.
Despite these challenges, Mississauga is taking proactive steps to address the housing crisis. The City recently approved a Community Improvement Plan (CIP) that will provide $44 million in funding to encourage the construction of more affordable rental housing.
Initiatives like the Open Window Hub provide a safe, welcoming space for individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
The Open Window Hub offers access to social workers, housing support, mental health resources, and basic needs such as food, hygiene products, and computer access. Since its launch, this program has connected hundreds of individuals with vital services, including finding shelter, and beginning pathways to permanent housing. Every client who has secured stable housing, reconnected with family, or accessed addiction and mental health supports through referrals made at the Hub is a success story.
At a glance:
Several resources and support services are available to individuals living in homeless encampments in Mississauga. The Peel Street Outreach Team provides on-location services, including hygiene products, food, and referrals to shelters and other supportive services.
If a resident is in need or worried about someone, they can call the Region of Peel Street Help Line at 1-877-848-8481. The helpline is available 24 hours a day to support the unhoused.
Homelessness in Mississauga has been on the rise, reflecting broader trends seen across Ontario. In November 2024, Peel Region completed its Point in Time (PiT) count, a community-level measure of homelessness at a single point in time that provides both local and national insights. That exercise reveals the proportion of unsheltered (living outdoors or in encampments) is smaller in Peel than in many neighbouring regions, with about 12 per cent of the unhoused population being unsheltered, compared to higher percentages elsewhere.
While the overall number of unhoused individuals is rising, the majority are accessing shelters or other supports. Only a small minority live in encampments, and ongoing efforts are made to connect them with services and safer alternatives.
As Mississauga continues to navigate this complex issue, City officials emphasize the importance of community understanding and support. Residents are encouraged to report non-emergency concerns to 311, while any immediate threats to safety should be directed to 911. For those concerned about individuals experiencing homelessness, the Peel Street Outreach team operates a 24-hour helpline at 1-877-848-8481, providing support and resources for unhoused individuals.
The story of being unhoused in Mississauga is about people, not just numbers. The City’s focus remains on compassion, dignity, and building long-term solutions through community-wide efforts while ensuring safe and accessible public spaces for the entire community. The City will maintain collaborative efforts with other levels of government, community agencies to facilitate access to supportive services for residents. Every person living in Mississauga deserves a safe and secure place to call home.

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 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 (starting in the basement/first floor and finishing on the top floor). You’ll 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.

The action begins with the Ontario Ball Hockey Federation Provincial Championships, which will run until July 20. These games are free to attend, and both locals and visitors are invited to come out and cheer from the sidelines.
Starting on July 22, the Canada Ball Hockey Association National Championships take over. Ticketed games will run from July 22 to August 9. This is also the first year the CBHA will host the “SUPER” nationals, marking a monumental event that is expected to bring all ball hockey divisions together under one roof, from grassroots youth teams to elite legends, showcasing the evolution and collaboration of the sport.
More than 140 teams and nearly 5,000 players from across the country will be attending, representing the most comprehensive national championship ever staged in Canadian ball hockey.

After two record-breaking storms dropped 280 millimetres of rain on Mississauga last summer, the City has ramped up infrastructure upgrades and assessments to better protect neighbourhoods from severe flooding.
July 16, 2025
The action plan has three goals:
These stormwater infrastructure upgrades directly support the City’s Strategic Plan by advancing Council’s priority to tackle climate change through green initiatives and by building safer, more prosperous neighbourhoods for all residents.
Over the past year, to help build resiliency into the stormwater system, planned and accelerated upgrades are underway or have been completed at priority locations throughout the city.
Key projects to upgrade the stormwater system that are currently in progress include: land acquisition for the Dixie-Dundas Flood Mitigation Project, upgrades to the Historic Malton Village storm sewers and inlet stormwater upgrades near Greenpark Crescent.
Key projects to upgrade the stormwater system that have been completed include the installation of: a 1.2 metre temporary floodwall along Little Etobicoke Creek, a storm outfall inline check valve in the stormwater system along Cooksville Creek and a trunk sewer inlet upgrade near Tonolli Drive, north of Queensway.
To improve storm sewer inlet and outlet assessment and maintenance, the City increased the number of staff to enhance the program. These assessments allow staff to identify what infrastructure requires clearing or repair to ensure that stormwater can flow freely. As part of this work, a digital dashboard was created to automatically track and monitor the status of the inlet and outlet assessments in the system as well as any required actions.
From this work, more than 1,300 inlets and outlets in the stormwater system were identified for regular assessments throughout the city. Another 21 locations were added to the list of priority inlets and outlets, bringing the total number of priority locations to 70 and counting.
To address service requests and emerging sewer maintenance needs, pipe inspection robots with CCTV cameras are used to inspect pipes and identify damage and blockages that need to be removed.
Service level improvements include:
The City provides financial assistance to residents who want to install flood prevention measures in their home.
The Basement Flooding Prevention rebate offers up to $7,500 to help with the cost of installing measures, such as: a sump pump, foundation drainpipe capping or weeping tile, downspout disconnection and storm lateral backwater valve.
The Flood Resilience rebate offers up to $3,000 to help with the cost of installing water-resistant materials and other flood prevention measures, such as: property grading, moisture alarms, water-resilient floors and walls and corrugated steel window well and cover and more.
Floods can happen quickly and without warning at any time of the year. Learn about what you can do to help make your home more resilient to future floods.

BRAMPTON, Ont. – July 17, 2025. Peel Regional Council has approved the establishment of the Office of the Auditor General, a significant step toward strengthening transparency, and accountability in respect of regional programs and services across Peel Region.
Following Council’s approval of By-law 39-2025 on July 10, 2025, the Auditor General will serve as an independent officer reporting directly to Peel Regional Council. Under the Municipal Act, 2001, the Auditor General is responsible for assisting Regional Council in holding itself and its administrators accountable for the quality of stewardship over public funds and ensuring value for money in municipal operations. Through independently developed annual audit plans, the Auditor General may conduct financial, compliance, and performance audits of Peel departments, local boards, grant recipients, and Peel-controlled corporations (Peel Living). The new office is also tasked with operating a confidential fraud and waste hotline.
Peel joins other large Canadian municipalities like Toronto, Ottawa, and Vancouver in adopting an independent Auditor General model to ensure accountability, strengthen financials controls and optimize efficiencies. This historic initiative reflects Peel’s commitment to good governance, value-for-money, and public accountability.
