MiWay joins other Canadian transit agencies as the newest member of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program.
September 25, 2024
The program, which kicks off this fall, empowers MiWay customers with invisible disabilities to wear a Sunflower lanyard, which discreetly informs transit staff that they need more support, help, patience, or time. The program aims to support and improve the travel experience of riders with hidden disabilities, making it smooth, seamless and respectful. The program encourages a compassionate and patient approach to helping everyone who needs help.
“More than a quarter of our population lives with a disability. As a City, it’s our responsibility to ensure that our community is accessible and inclusive – one that provides equal access to all services, programs and facilities, regardless of ability. MiWay’s Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program truly embodies this, particularly for those with invisible disabilities. We are dedicated to working alongside our allies on the Accessibility Advisory Committee to leverage their expertise in addressing the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities. I extend my appreciation to everyone involved in bringing this initiative to life for our transit riders,” said Mayor Carolyn Parrish.
Sunflower program lanyards are available at the City Centre Transit Terminal Information Booth or via email request at miwayhelps@mississauga.ca.
In Mississauga, more than 201,000 people live with a disability, and the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program highlights that 80 per cent of these disabilities are not visible to others. The program acknowledges various hidden conditions, including Attention Deficient and Hyperactivity Disorder, autism, dementia, hearing loss, low vision, anxiety, and epilepsy.
To fully support the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program, MiWay is undertaking extensive training to ensure all staff can recognize and respond to customers participating in the program.
“MiWay aims to make transit accessible and welcoming for everyone by breaking down barriers. As a member of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program, we’re ensuring that every rider can navigate our transit system and use our services safely and confidently. As one of Canada’s largest transit agencies, we are proud to be a part of this program that creates a better experience for all transit riders that is safe, accessible, convenient and easy for. Awareness is key. Our goal is to support those riding transit who will benefit from a helping hand, more patience and understanding. MiWay staff have been trained to recognize and acknowledge the Sunflower lanyard and ask, ‘How can I help?” said Eve Wiggins, Director, MiWay.
MiWay’s commitment to reducing transit barriers speaks to its target of enhancing the customer experience by making travel in Mississauga safer, more accessible, convenient and inclusive. MiWay employees recognize the Sunflower logo and show support by:
As one of Canada’s largest transit systems, MiWay is transforming Mississauga and taking a lead role in shaping the future of our community by using transit to provide mobility and open potential, in a socially equitable way.
The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program is an internationally recognized symbol for persons with non-visible disabilities, launched in 2016 by Gatwick Airport. Hidden Disabilities Sunflower was established in the UK in 2016 and it has been adopted globally by businesses and charities to support their colleagues and customers.
The Sunflower represents happiness, positivity, strength, growth, and confidence.
The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program is recognized across a broad range of sectors – ranging from retail, financial services, transport including more than 200 airports, travel and tourism, education, government, as well as healthcare, emergency service and entertainment.
The program has grown in Canada to include Toronto Pearson Airport, Air Canada and Metrolinx.

Peel Regional Police are warning the public about ongoing scams impacting residents across Peel Region and other jurisdictions.
Victims have reported receiving email correspondences from a perpetrator claiming to have acquired intimate images or personal information of a compromising nature such as evidence of adult content in your internet browser. The perpetrator(s) then demand the victim send funds to them via a Bitcoin wallet or other means or their images and information will be sent to the public or to their family.
The emails often includes personal information, such as name, address, phone number, and street-view images of your home. This information has likely been obtained via other phishing methods where perpetrator(s) send emails, texts, or other messages purporting to be from legitimate companies to induce an unsuspecting person to share personal information such as financial information or passwords.
Investigators from PRP’s Criminal Investigations Bureau (CIB) and Fraud Bureau are reminding the public not to share personal information or information about your computer or electronic devices:
We encourage anyone who has been a victim of this scam and incurred a financial loss, to please report it to their local police agency.

Through his art, Saype aims to break down borders and barriers and evoke a sense of mutual support and hope among mankind and across the globe.
Saype’s aligned goals and majestic artwork prompted Visit Mississauga to invite and commission Saype to create an artwork in Mississauga, and we are honoured that he accepted the invitation to share his talent with our city.
Saype has created more than 50 majestic land art artworks in cities around the world, including New York, Paris, Venice, Geneva, Cape Town, Turin, Dubai, Nairobi, Istanbul, Ouagadougou, Miami and Tokyo. His work in Mississauga will be his first in English-speaking Canada.
The biodegradable fresco paint was specially created by Saype and is designed to fade away, so visitors will have a limited time to witness this once-in-a-lifetime art installation in the heart of Mississauga.
See Saype in action, creating his custom land art piece in the centre of Mississauga.

Watch the Ontario Tree Climbing Championships or volunteer to remove invasive plant species.
September 19, 2024
From Friday, September 20 to Saturday, September 21, you can watch the Ontario Tree Climbing Championships at RK McMillan Park. You’ll be able to watch arborists showcase their skills, visit a tradeshow with vendors and try out tree climbing at the “Fun Climb” station under the guidance of a professional arborist.
Become a Mississauga Nature Steward and help the City remove invasive plants in parks and natural areas. Participate in one of the three staff-led events this fall at a Mississauga park. At the event, you’ll learn more about invasive plant species, and how to properly remove and dispose of them while working alongside City staff and other members of the public.
The events include:
Trees and natural areas are important to Mississauga’s heritage and provide many benefits. Trees and other native perennial plants play a crucial role in combatting climate change by absorbing harmful carbon dioxide. They also act as natural coolants by providing shade in our streets, help to control floods by slowing down water flow and enhance the city’s beauty through colourful blooms and leaves.
The City’s One Million Trees program aims to add one million more trees to Mississauga’s tree canopy by 2032. Since the program launched in 2013, more than 540,000 trees have been planted across Mississauga.
By participating in one of the City’s tree-planting events or planting trees and shrubs on your own property, you contribute to the one million tree goal. When planting a tree or shrub, consider using native species since these are best suited to Mississauga’s climate and have the most benefit for the city’s native wildlife.

Mississauga is making it easier for residents to get answers to questions about housing, growth and development.
September 19, 2024
It also connects residents to resources like maps and data that city planners use to help guide their work.
Housing is also top of mind for many Mississauga residents. They have questions about how neighbourhoods are changing, housing affordability and the City’s role in delivering more housing. The Guide provides:
Education and providing open and transparent access to data is a primary goal in the City’s Housing Action Plan. Visit Growing Mississauga to learn more about the City’s efforts to get more homes built, streamline building approvals and make homes more affordable.
“The work we do in Mississauga’s planning and building division affects everyone who lives, works and visits the City. While planning can be complicated, it doesn’t have to be. That’s why we developed our new Guide to City Planning and Development. From housing targets to deciding where new buildings should go, it’s designed to help answer the questions we hear most from our residents and guide them through the changes they are experiencing.” -Andrew Whittemore, Commissioner, Planning and Building, City of Mississauga
