Launch Of Peel Police Foundation To Help Address Critical Community Issues

By Announcement

On April 4, 2025, Chief Nishan Duraiappah, Chair Nando Iannicca and Catherine Murray – former senior anchor and host of BNN Bloomberg – officially launched The Peel Police Foundation, a new nonprofit organization dedicated to raising charitable funds in support of community partners across Peel Region.

 

As the region continues to grow, many community organizations and partners do not have the funding and support to meet increasing demands. Guided by the Community Safety and Well-Being framework, the foundation will support innovative public-police solutions to address societal challenges. The foundation will work closely with community partners to expand programs and services that directly address critical issues Peel Police sees within the community such as mental health, addiction, homelessness, youth engagement, and intimate partner violence.

 

The foundation will be managed by a volunteer Board of Directors and led by Chair Catherine Murray, who has extensive experience in institutional sales, trading and equity research. Catherine is also a highly sought-after speaker and moderator, who has made significant contributions and built strong connections within the Peel community.

City-Owned Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Have New User Fees

By Announcement, Resources

Users of City-owned public EV charging stations in Mississauga will now be charged a $0.30/kWh fee. The fee is based on the actual amount of energy that is used to charge the electric vehicle. Today, there are 30 City-owned public EV charging stations located in Mississauga, with more on the way throughout 2025.

Public EV charging fees

The cost to charge your EV is based on the actual amount of energy that is used at a rate of $0.30/kWh. The decision to charge a fee based on kilowatt hour, instead of total time spent charging, is to ensure the cost is fair to owners of EVs that have slower charging speeds.

Once your EV is charged, you have 30 minutes to leave the EV charging station, so that others can use it. Vehicles that are parked and not actively charging during the day, after this 30-minute period, will be subject to an idle fee of $5 per hour.

However, an idle fee will not be charged between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. at locations where overnight parking is permitted.

At certain locations (e.g. P3 at the Central Library Parking Garage), due to technology limitations, it is not possible to charge fees based on the amount of energy that is consumed. In such instances, fees will be charged based on the duration of use and assessed hourly at a rate of $2 per hour. Please refer to the signage on the EV charging station for more information.

City-owned public EV charging station locations

There are 30 City-owned public Level 2 EV charging stations located in Mississauga, with more to be added this year:

  • Eight in the Burnhamthorpe Community Centre
  • Eight in the Sheridan South parking lot
  • Four in the Streetsville Municipal parking lot
  • 10 in the Central Library parking garage

You can find all public chargers, not just City-owned ones, in Mississauga at ChargeHub or Plug Share.

Charging your EV at home

Charging at home is often the least expensive and most convenient way to charge an EV. For typical daily driving in the GTA, a full charge can be achieved overnight using a Level 1 charger and a typical wall outlet. With access to a Level 2 charger, most people can charge enough for their daily driving needs in 1-2 hours. If you want to install a Level 2 charger at home, we suggest you reach out to a licensed electrical contractors in your area, use this tool by the Electrical Safety Authority at findacontractor.esasafe.com.

Want to install a charger at an apartment or condo? The City of Mississauga and Alectra Utilities encourage potential EV owners to work with their condo corporation or building manager to identify ways to meet their EV charging needs before purchasing the vehicle.

For a full summary of the changes made to accommodate EV charging in condos, visit the Province of Ontario’s website: Owning a Condo: Install an Electric Vehicle Charging System. You can also find out more about condo charging from the Plug N’ Drive’s Condo Charging guide.

Water Interruption Notice – Friday, April 4th, From 9:00am To 5:00pm – 897 The Greenway Mississauga

By Resources

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 Friday, April 4th, 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)
