Metrolinx has provided an update:
With grading, new pedestrian sidewalks, paving activities, and the installation of lighting complete, crews have finished the final touches of a major engineering achievement in Mississauga South: the new QEW highway underpass. Beginning Friday, December 19, 2025, the underpass is ready to safely accommodate northbound traffic along Hurontario Street underneath the QEW.
The concrete underpass was built and pushed into place using hydraulic rods, an innovative construction methodology known as box-jacking. This marks the first time this methodology has been used in Ontario.
With northbound traffic now permanently diverted through the new underpass, the former northbound lanes will support the future construction of the light rail guideway underneath the highway.
The City has been awarded the Silver recognition through Share the Road Cycling Coalition for its ongoing commitment to make active transportation a safer, more accessible and valued part of Mississauga’s communities.
December 19, 2025
This is the first time Mississauga has achieved the Silver designation from Share the Road, previously holding a bronze designation since 2012. This achievement comes as cycling continues to grow as a popular hobby, fitness activity and mode of transportation for residents to get around Mississauga.

Children and teens under 18 currently make up the highest number of lab-confirmed influenza cases in Peel.
BRAMPTON, Ont. – December 17, 2025. Flu cases are rising in Peel region and are projected to continue increasing over the next several weeks.
Peel Public Health is actively monitoring this increase and is especially concerned with the growing number of cases among children. Currently, children 0 to 4 years account for 27% of all lab-confirmed influenza cases in Peel.
Additionally, Peel hospital visits and admissions due to influenza-like illness are increasing. This trend is a reminder that the flu is not just a mild illness, but can cause serious complications, even in healthy individuals.
Residents can protect themselves and their loved ones from getting sick from the flu by following public health recommendations.
Get vaccinated
We strongly recommend all individuals 6 months and older get vaccinated as soon as possible against the flu. It can take up to 2 weeks for the influenza vaccine to provide full protection.
Parents and caregivers play a key role in protecting children by getting vaccinated themselves and reducing household transmission.
Where to get a flu shot
Flu shots are still available. They are free for anyone 6 months or older who lives, works or studies in Peel region.
Practice prevention
Residents can help stop the spread of respiratory infections by following these simple steps:
“With flu cases rising in Peel and the upcoming holiday season, it’s important for residents to take steps to protect themselves and their loved ones. The flu is not just a cold. It can cause severe illness, especially in younger children and older adults. It’s important for all residents 6 months and older to stay up to date with their flu vaccinations to stay safe and healthy.”
Dr. Monica Hau, Acting Medical Officer of Health, Peel Region
Know where to go for care
During this time of year, hospital emergency rooms experience a high volume of patients, resulting in longer than usual wait times.
If you or a family member are experiencing a medical emergency or serious injury, visit your nearest emergency department or call 911 immediately.
If you’re unsure whether to go to the emergency department, you can:

As we come to the close of another remarkable year, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of our residents for your continued engagement, support, and community spirit. It is an honour to serve such a caring and vibrant community.
This festive season, I wish you and your loved ones a joyful Christmas filled with warmth, and special moments. Whether you’re gathering with family, exploring winter activities in our neighbourhoods, or simply enjoying a restful break, I hope this time brings you peace and happiness.
As we look ahead to a new year, I’m excited for the work we will continue together—building a stronger, safer, and even more welcoming Ward 1. Thank you for everything you do to make our community, our home.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays and a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!

The City aims to connect vulnerable residents to safe housing, essential services and dignified care.
December 12, 2025
Unfortunately, some members of our community are going through a tough time and lack access to safe, stable housing. It’s important that these people are provided with the supports they need and for the local community to feel safe.
Several resources and support services are available to vulnerable individuals 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.
Mississauga’s approach is grounded in dignity and respect for every individual, including the unhoused. The City, in partnership with Peel Region and community organizations, is committed to a coordinated, human rights-based response that balances the needs of vulnerable residents with those of the broader community.

December 12, 2025
This marks the second consecutive year that Mississauga has received funding through the program, supporting Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services (MFES) in advancing its Firefighter Cancer Prevention Program, focused on reducing exposure to harmful contaminants and improving protective equipment.
The funding received will be used to purchase decontamination units to remove carcinogenic substances from gear and equipment, and PFAS-free firefighting personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure to cancer-causing chemicals.
The Fire Protection Grant program began in 2024 and was expanded in 2025 to help municipal fire departments expand cancer prevention initiatives, and improve emergency response to lithium-ion battery related incidents.
