When it snows, vehicles parked on the road can prevent City crews from being able to clear roads and residential driveway windrows, making it difficult for emergency vehicles, public transit and residents to travel.
To make snow clearing safer and more efficient, the City has introduced a new penalty of $150 for those who park their vehicles on the road when the City declares a Citywide Winter Parking Restriction.
Citywide Winter Parking Restriction
The City will declare a Citywide Winter Parking Restriction when the City needs to plow roadways. When a Citywide Winter Parking Restriction is declared, on-street parking is not allowed, except in areas identified by signage (e.g. 15-hour maximum). On-street parking on statutory holidays and religious observances is also prohibited. Temporary parking permits and residential parking permits will not be issued and current ones will be suspended.

Council votes to disassociate the name Duke of York Boulevard from Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor due to serious allegations of gender-based violence against the former Royal.
November 20, 2025
During yesterday’s Council meeting, Mississauga City Council passed a motion to disassociate the name Duke of York Boulevard from former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, reflecting Buckingham Palace’s removal of his titles after allegations of gender-based violence. The motion, moved by Deputy Mayor and Ward 4 Councillor John Kovac, includes removing all plaques, honours, and non-critical signage tied to the former Royal on City property.
The boulevard, a road that runs through Mississauga’s downtown core, was named after Mountbatten-Windsor’s role in opening Mississauga’s Civic Centre in 1987. While a name change was discussed, it was recognized that the title of Duke of York has been held by many people for the last 700 years and may be again in the future.
Duke of York Boulevard now becomes a name associated with Canada’s history as a constitutional monarchy, much like other streets across Mississauga and Canada such as King, Queen, Prince and Princess Streets.
Gender-based violence and women abuse
During the meeting, Council also unanimously reaffirmed that gender-based violence and women abuse are an epidemic, echoing Council’s earlier declaration in 2023 and Peel Region’s declaration in the same year. The resolution highlights the urgent need for systemic change, survivor support, and community education. The Council motion also directed staff to report back on enhanced human trafficking countermeasures in Peel Region.
The City of Mississauga is currently collaborating with Peel Region on the annual Break the Silence campaign to raise awareness on family and intimate partner violence. The City will also be doing a flag raising through the Community Recognition Program to recognize victims of gender-based violence on November 24 at 10 a.m.
Home ownership remains a strong aspiration for Canadians and a vital contributor to our economy.
November 20, 2025
In advance of this year’s National Housing Day, the City of Mississauga and Habitat for Humanity Halton-Mississauga-Dufferin (Habitat HMD) are proud to announce an innovative partnership to help unlock a shovel-ready pipeline of affordable homes for hundreds of Mississauga residents.
This collaboration represents a new way forward – linking municipal leadership, non-profit innovation and private-sector participation to expand access to affordable home ownership and strengthen the City’s housing system.
Kick-starting the partnership: Five new affordable homes
As the first step in this new partnership, Habitat HMD and the City of Mississauga are announcing the creation of five deeply affordable home ownership units at Edenshaw’s Alba development, located near the Cooksville GO Station.
To secure these homes, the City identified the opportunity and used a $1.08 million community benefits contribution from Edenshaw to facilitate Habitat HMD’s discounted purchase of the units. Habitat HMD will ensure that these homes remain affordable for the long-term.
Using public-private collaboration to accelerate affordable home ownership
This “first of its kind” partnership for Mississauga will connect non-profit providers like Habitat HMD with community-minded developers who may have unsold market units close to completion. Through this innovative model, more affordable home ownership opportunities can be delivered quickly – without requiring new land or lengthy construction timelines.
Developers or non-profits interested in learning more about this model and supporting the City’s efforts can contact housing@mississauga.ca.
Habitat’s model: Empowering families through affordable home ownership
Habitat HMD’s affordable home ownership model offers a hand up, not a handout. Families benefit from an affordable mortgage tailored to their income, with a secondary mortgage provided by Habitat HMD covering the difference between the discounted purchase price and fair market value, including a buy-back provision to ensure the units stay affordable in perpetuity.
This approach ensures that no family initially allocates more than 30 per cent of their income toward housing costs – enabling them to save, invest in education and plan for the future with greater peace of mind.
Habitat’s model has a proven track record across Canada. After moving into their Habitat homes, families see household incomes rise 28 per cent higher than comparable renters, while health, education, and employment outcomes improve significantly. The result is an estimated $35 million in annual economic uplift compared to renting.
Habitat HMD bridges the gap for families who aspire to home ownership but are hindered by unaffordable market prices. The organization prioritizes families who are willing to contribute 500 volunteer hours in the community, and are currently living in unsafe, unhealthy, or inadequate housing.

Background
This innovative partnership is part of the City’s efforts to make housing more affordable in Mississauga. Despite the ongoing housing market slowdown, the City has made significant strides since the Mayor’s Housing Task Force report was released in January 2025. This includes becoming one of the first municipalities in Ontario to reduce and/or eliminate development charges for residential housing.
Other actions to improve access to affordable housing include:
The City’s $44 million affordable rental housing incentive program, made possible through federal funding, offers financial incentives to help stimulate the creation of new affordable rental housing. The application window for the second round of funding is open until February 13, 2026.
The City’s gentle density incentive program is making it less expensive to build additional residential units and fourplexes by providing grants to cover city fees and development charges (if applicable). To date, more than $300,000 in grants have been awarded with an additional $700,000 in grants expected in the coming months. The City also offers pre-approved garden suite design plans that residents can use free of charge.
Mississauga’s Inclusionary Zoning by-law helps increase affordable housing in the City by requiring affordable housing units in large developments located in major transit station areas.
The City has lowered costs for those building affordable housing units by reducing and/or eliminating application and parking fees for affordable and non-profit housing providers.
The City is reviewing opportunities to optimize city-owned facilities to find innovative ways to building housing on city property.
The Region of Peel oversees the affordable housing system in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon. Visit housing and social support for information about the Region of Peel’s services.
