Mississauga’s speed cameras have been vandalized 172 times this year. Some councillors want action
City has 22 cameras in what are known as school-area community safety zones
CBC News · Posted: Sep 12, 2023 8:41 PM EDT | Last Updated: September 12
Mississauga needs to change its automated speed enforcement camera program because of reoccurring vandalism to the grey metal boxes that contain the cameras, two city councillors say.
Already this year, the city says it has received reports of 172 reports of vandalism to its automated speed enforcement camera units. In 2022, it received 161 reports of vandalism.
The city has 22 speed cameras, two per ward, meant to enforce speed limits in what are known as school-area community safety zones. In school zones, the speed limit is 30 kilometres per hour.
Coun. Stephen Dasko, who represents Ward 1, said vandals have spray-painted graffiti on the units, knocked them over and spray-painted their lenses to prevent them from taking photographs.
“It’s been abused. It’s been spray-painted. Actually, somebody had smashed one with a rock recently. Quite frankly, they get toppled over on a regular basis,” Dasko said on Tuesday.
Dasko said the city has a contract with an external company to supply and maintain the speed cameras and the hope they can work together to find a solution.
For example, he said the speed cameras could be moved out of reach to prevent people from damaging the units.
“What makes sense, is if we could have them relocated to being on a pole, or somewhere that is outside of somebody easily being able to get their hands on it,” he said.
Damaged cameras could give ‘false sense of security’
On its website, the city of Mississauga says speeding is a serious problem on its roads and the cameras help to “make our streets safer for everyone by encouraging drivers to slow down and obey the speed limit.”
But they don’t work if they have been tampered with, said Dasko.
Coun. Stephen Dasko
Coun. Stephen Dasko, who represents Ward 1, says: ‘When they’re toppled over, they’re not functional, they’re not doing their job. And I don’t want anybody, quite frankly, to have a false sense of security that this is operational.’ (CBC)
“When they’re toppled over, they’re not functional, they’re not doing their job,” he said. “And I don’t want anybody… to have a false sense of security that this is operational.”
Dasko said one camera set up in his ward in front of Port Credit Secondary School has been regularly pushed over on its side. Two people flipped it over on Friday night.
Dasko said somebody has been spray-painting “try again” on its units.
The vandalism often happens at night, he said.
“Quite often it’s in the cloak of darkness, so a lot of times we’ll wake up to getting these reports,” he said.
1 camera knocked over 18 times: councillor
Coun. Matt Mahoney, who represents Ward 8, said at a council meeting on Sept. 6 that one speed camera on a street in his ward has been knocked over about 18 times. He said it’s frustrating for residents to see.
Mahoney said the city could contact Peel Regional Police about ways to prevent vandalism and the local school boards. He added schools could look at setting up surveillance cameras to monitor the speed cameras and signs could be put up to let people know that there is surveillance.
“Certainly, we need to look at some solutions,” he said. “It’s a problem that all of us deal with regularly and it’s not going to go away unless we find a solution.”
On its website, the city says that when a driver exceeds the speed limit in an area covered by the speed camera, the system captures an image. That image is then reviewed by a provincial offences officer and a ticket is issued.
The ticket, along with a digital copy of the image and an image of the licence plate, is mailed to the person who is a registered plate holder within 30 days of the offence.
“Tickets are issued to the owner of the vehicle regardless of who was driving. No demerit points will be issued and the registered owner’s driving record will not be impacted” the city says on its website.
Here’s the really annoying thing about speed cameras: They work
New speed cameras in Toronto only part of the solution, road safety advocates warn

2023 Livable Cities Forum to focus on critical climate change conversations

By Announcement, Events

Recent extreme weather events and their impact on cities have made the discussion around reducing carbon emissions more important than ever. Finding climate change solutions is the focus of the 2023 Livable Cities Forum, a gathering of climate leaders taking place later this month at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga. The annual, three-day event, happening September 25-27, welcomes more than 250 global delegates from different levels of government, community partners and local agencies, industry leaders, post-secondary institutions, health agencies and climate change experts.

The forum provides an opportunity to exchange ideas, share knowledge and insights and look for tangible solutions to lower carbon emissions while building resilient and inclusive communities.

“Our climate is changing rapidly and its effects will forever alter how we live. We must work together to curb the negative impacts and create a healthy and sustainable future for all,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “Mississauga is grateful to host this year’s Livable Cities Forum and welcome the many distinguished climate change and environment professionals and delegates from around the world, representing hundreds of industries and sectors. We are proud to be one of the many Canadian municipalities participating in the Forum, and look forward to sharing our experiences while listening to the expertise of others in understanding and developing climate change solutions.”

This year’s theme focuses on “Intention to Implementation,” transitioning to resilient, equitable, livable, and sustainable communities. The Forum is in partnership with ICLEI Canada and the Canadian Urban Institute.

Overarching themes of the Forum include:

1) Accelerating local transition towards a net-zero future
2) Adapting communities to climate change and building resilience
3) Prioritizing equity, inclusion and meaningful engagement

A key focus of the Living Cities Forum is gaining insights, knowledge and a deeper understanding of climate solutions, actions and resilience initiatives at the local level. In addition to speakers, the Forum also features workshops, plenaries and networking sessions. Organized study tours around Mississauga will showcase how cities can increase the pace and scale of implementation of energy transitions and how to approach climate action to increase engagement, motivation and implementation.

“The overarching themes of the forum align with the climate change work happening around our city,” said Dianne Zimmerman, Manager, Environment at the City of Mississauga. “Mississauga is working towards ambitious climate goals with deep emissions reductions targets, as well as preparing the community for the effects of a changing climate. As a large urban city, we’re committed to becoming one of Canada’s first net-zero cities. We’re embracing diversity, equity and inclusion as core principles of climate action to build more resilient and livable communities and we’re actively working with different levels of government, local corporations, non-profit organizations, community partners and residents to collaborate on action”

The U.N. has already warned about the world entering an era of global boiling, as scientists confirmed that July was Earth’s hottest month on record – including, the three hottest days on record and the highest-ever ocean temperatures for this time of year.

The Forum comes as the City of Mississauga is updating its Climate Change Action Plan to set more ambitious targets aligned with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) recommendations to limit global warming to 1.5 per cent Celsius. The City’s Climate Change Action Plan is a 10-year road map for tackling the impacts of the changing climate. It sets out actions to reduce GHG emissions and help the City increase its resiliency to withstand and respond to current and future climate events.

Pointer Article: ‘Groundhog Day:’ Edenshaw bypasses City Council; province will decide on controversial development

By Planning & Development, Ward 1

Edenshaw Developments Ltd. is under the microscope again at City Hall for repeatedly bringing back development applications councillors have heavily criticized, with little to no changes made to address concerns raised. In a September 5 planning and development meeting, the Mississauga-based developer once again brought back a proposal for 49 South Service Road, a development City Council previously condemned for “putting a circle in a square.” In response to council’s frustrations, Edenshaw is bringing the application to the Ontario Land Tribunal — its second appeal in two years.

Proposal to support Bill C-233 “Keira’s Law”

By Announcement, Stephen’s Initiatives

I am pleased to announce that the Proposal to support Bill C-233 “Keira’s Law” was passed today unanimously in Council.  The City of Mississauga Council lends support to Member of Parliament Anju Dhillon’s Private Members Bill C-233, that has now been passed to raise the level of education on domestic violence and coercive control for federally appointed Judges.

RESOLUTION 0194-2023
adopted by the Council of
The Corporation of the City of Mississauga
at its meeting on September 13, 2023

0194-2023 Moved by: S. Dasko Seconded by: M. Reid

Whereas violence against women is a Canadian public health crisis that demands urgent action;
and Whereas one in four women experience domestic violence in their lifetime, and one woman or girl is killed every other day, on average, somewhere in our country;
and Whereas the most dangerous time for a victim of abuse is when she separates from her partner, according to research from the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, when there is a history of coercive control, violence and a recent separation, a woman’s risk of domestic homicide goes up 900 times;
and Whereas, the current Canadian court system is not equipped to protect women, according to the National Judicial Institute, there is no mandatory education for Judges on domestic violence; judges need education on what constitutes domestic violence or coercive control and formal education program would ensure another line of defense for victims, as well as preventing violence and abuse before it happens;
and Whereas, according to Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, children must be protected from “all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care of parent(s), legal guardian(s) or any other person who has care of the child,” our current family justice system often fails our children in this regard;
and Whereas, in worst case scenarios, children are killed by a violent parent, as reported by the Canadian Domestic Homicide Prevention Initiative, recent separation and domestic violence are the two biggest risk factors for domestic violence related child homicides;
and Whereas, custody disputes are an additional risk factor; each year in Canada, about 30 children are killed by a parent; mothers are responsible about 40 per cent of the time, often due to postpartum depression or mental illness and in the 60 per cent of cases where fathers are the murderers, anger, jealousy or post-separation retaliatory revenge are the usual motivations;
and Whereas, Keira’s Law is named after four-year-old Keira Kagan, who was killed while in the custody of her father, in 2020;

Now therefore be it resolved:
1. That the City of Mississauga Council lends support to Member of Parliament Anju Dhillon’s Private Member’s Bill C-233, Page 3 of Motion Memorandum that has now been passed to raise the level of education on domestic violence and coercive control, for federally appointed Judges; and
2. That this motion be forwarded to the Prime Minister, the Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, and Mississauga Members of Parliament (MP’s), the Premier of Ontario, the Ontario Attorney General, and Mississauga Members of Provincial Parliament.
