February is Black History Month – a time of education, reflection and celebration. This month, the City of Mississauga, in partnership with the Black Caucus Alliance, will continue to recognize and celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of Mississauga’s Black community through a variety of events, activities and programs.
“During the Celebrating Black Excellence event we are proud to highlight just a few of the many talented individuals and help them amplify their voices and stories in our community,” said Acting Mayor Joe Horneck. “Under the continued guidance of organizations like the Black Caucus Alliance, we’re forging a vibrant future and are committed to acting on the recommendations outlined in the Black Community Engagement Report as a City, paving the way towards a more inclusive society and helping to create positive change one step at a time.”
Throughout Black History Month, the community is invited to take part in the conversation and more importantly, to learn and develop a deeper understanding of the history of people of African descent in Canada and Mississauga. Opportunities for learning and ways to engage are featured on the Black History Month webpage, some of which include:
“We’re proud to partner with the City to recognize the amazing contributions of the Black community – past, present and future. Through our continued partnership, we’re taking steps towards equity by tackling anti-Black racism,” said Shelly Scott-England, Chair of the Black Caucus Alliance. “This month, we honour the Black community’s achievements, highlight our vibrant culture and history while continuing to bring awareness about ongoing injustices.”
The second annual Celebrating Black Excellence event will take place on Friday, February 23, 2024 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Mississauga City Hall.

BRAMPTON, ON (Jan. 26, 2024) – “The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Minister Paul Calandra, has provided clarity on the renewed mandate of the Transition Board for Peel Region. In a letter received today, the Minister underscored the focus on enhancing the efficiency and responsiveness of local government in Peel. This follows the December 2023 announcement that Peel Region would not be dissolved. The Transition Board’s recalibrated mandate includes the following objectives:
It was also shared that the Transition Board will provide recommendations on the potential transfer of Peel Region services to the City of Mississauga, the City of Brampton, and the Town of Caledon. These services are land use planning, water and wastewater management, regional roads, and waste management. According to the letter, all other services currently delivered by Peel Region are considered out of scope.
The Minister anticipates receiving recommendations from the Transition Board by Spring 2024.
We will continue to work with the Province and the Transition Board to provide the information needed to inform decisions and to gain clarity on the updated mandate”.

Thursday, Jan. 25, councillors took part in a CPR and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) training session during Regional Council. The training session was delivered by Peel Regional Paramedic Services in anticipation of Heart Month in February.
1800 people experience cardiac arrest in Peel Region each year. The chance of survival increases significantly if the person receives bystander CPR within 60 seconds of collapsing.
So far this month, two people in Peel Region have received a second chance at life because of bystander CPR, underscoring the importance of everyone learning this life-saving skill.
To further promote bystander CPR, Peel Regional Paramedic Services has placed hundreds of AEDs in public places, together with the GTAA, Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga. It is also participating in a Volunteer Community Responder pilot project with Sunnybrook Hospital to see if crowdsourcing CPR can save more lives in Peel. With more than 200 citizen volunteers, the pilot project has helped 20 people receive life-saving care.
