Our City, Our Future: Province Grants Mississauga’s Request for Independence – May 18, 2023

By Announcement
On May 18, 2023, the Government of Ontario announced its decision to dissolve the Peel Region and make Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon independent, single-tier cities. For many decades, the Cities of Mississauga and Brampton and the Town of Caledon have operated within a regional governance model. This announcement follows many years of advocacy by Mississauga, and will give the City greater control over its decision-making and the ability to focus on its own priorities.In February, Mississauga City Council unanimously passed a resolution reaffirming its desire to be a stand-alone, single-tier municipality and to separate from the Peel Region. On May 18, 2023, the province announced that a Transition Board will be appointed to facilitate the dissolution of the Peel Region, with all changes made by January 1, 2025. More details on the transition will be available in the days and weeks ahead.

Since the 1990s, Mississauga has been advocating to leave the Region of Peel. In 2005, former Mayor Hazel McCallion and Council advocated to the province to do so and were not successful. The same advocacy occurred in 2019 with the same result.

The City of Mississauga is pleased with the announcement from the province. It reflects years of advocacy by Mississauga for independence and a recognition that our city is ready to stand on its own and make its own decisions. We will work collaboratively with the province, the newly appointed Transition Board, and our partners at the Peel Region, City of Brampton and Town of Caledon to ensure the dissolution of the Peel Region is executed properly and that no one is left behind or out of pocket. While the announcement is positive, there is a great deal of work left to do in the months ahead. We are committed to ensuring the continuity of frontline and essential services across the Peel Region. Council and staff will work together to make sure Mississauga’s interests are protected and that the transition to an independent Mississauga is smooth and seamless.

There are many reasons Mississauga supports separation, but here are the main ones:

  • Saving taxpayers money, up to $1 billion over a decade (Source: 2019 EY Report)
  • Less duplication and greater efficiency in the delivery of programs and services to residents
  • Mississauga property tax dollars should be invested in Mississauga and on our priorities
  • Eliminating a layer of government
  • Making our own decisions, without having to ask permission from other municipalities
  • Building housing more quickly to reach our provincial housing target
  • Mississauga residents and taxpayers have been carrying the costs of the region for 50 years
  • An independent Mississauga will help reduce confusion for residents over “who does what” and will be more efficient as duplication with the Peel Region will be eliminated.

The financial analysis has always supported separation:

    • In 2005, financial analysis by Day and Day showed the City would save over $32 million per year through separation
    • In 2019, a report by EY showed Mississauga residents are over-contributing to the Peel Region by $84 million per year. Through separation, residents could save almost $1 billion over the next decade
    • This money belongs in Mississauga and should be invested in our city and our residents.
    • Mississauga has a strong track record of financial management, receiving a Triple A credit rating for 19 straight years. We are ready and capable of managing our own affairs.

How Will Separation Work?

Council and City staff will work with the province and our neighbours to ensure an orderly dissolution of the Region. Our commitment is that there will be no disruption in service during the separation process. Your garbage will still be picked up, our buses will still run on time and first responders will continue to respond to calls. Continuity of service is important, and we will notify all residents and businesses before any changes are made. Many of the other services provided by the Region can be absorbed in the City of Mississauga on a per-capita basis. Most other cities in Ontario handle all programs and services in their city and we can too.

For services, such as Peel Police and Paramedics, discussions will be had to determine how best they can be delivered under the new governance model. It is too early to make commitments but residents should be rest assured that they will still have access to quality police and ambulance services throughout this process.

More details and information will be available in the coming days, weeks and months as we work through this transition.

Mississauga Begins Another Busy Construction Season

By Resources

The City of Mississauga’s construction season is underway with important projects to repair, maintain and expand Mississauga’s transportation and stormwater infrastructure. This work will help reduce the risk of flooding and keep residents moving safely on roads, sidewalks, multi-use trails and cycling infrastructure. This year, there are 21 new projects with an estimated budget of $136.4 million and five projects continuing from 2022.

“As Mississauga continues to grow and mature, ongoing investments in our infrastructure are essential to keeping you moving safely and efficiently through the city and protecting homes and businesses from intense rainfall and flooding,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “I want to thank residents for their patience as this essential work is completed. A big thank you to the City staff and crews who ensure this work is done with minimal disruption to residents and businesses.”

Construction projects within the City’s Roads and Stormwater Capital Programs include road resurfacing, sidewalk and multi-use trail construction and bridge repairs. Construction projects also include erosion control work along creeks, dredging and maintenance of stormwater management ponds and facilities as well as maintaining the City’s stormwater infrastructure.

“Our 2022 construction season delivered concrete results and this year will be no different. Our main priorities, especially on our roadways, is the safety of the travelling public, limiting delays and ensuring residents can move as they choose, whether its by foot, bike, transit, mobility device or vehicle,” said Geoff Wright, Commissioner, Transportation and Works. “One of our major projects will be taking place along The Collegeway, from Winston Churchill Boulevard to Mississauga Road. This project will include pavement rehabilitation, intersection improvements, new traffic signals and street lights, repairs to curbs, sidewalks and catch basins as well as the installation of cycle tracks from Winston Churchill Boulevard to South Millway.”

Residents can use the online construction map to find out what kind of construction projects are happening in their neighbourhood or along their commute, as well as who to contact if they have any questions. The construction map also provides information about City parks projects and projects from the Region of Peel, Ministry of Transportation and Alectra.

The City’s Field Ambassador Program is another way that Mississauga residents and business owners can stay informed about the work being done. Those who want to learn more about construction happening along their street can connect with the Field Ambassador to have their questions answered and prepare for any potential disruptions.

Construction Continues on Metrolinx’s Hurontario Light Rail Transit (HuLRT) Project
Residents and commuters will also continue to see major construction continuing on the Hurontario corridor between the Port Credit GO Station and Highway 407. For the latest updates, visit metrolinx.com/hazelmccallionline.

Controlling Pests on Construction Sites
The City will continue to effectively control pests through its Construction Pest Control Program. All construction projects will be assessed on a project-by-project basis to ensure the necessary pest control measures are implemented. The City’s program aligns with the Region of Peel’s Rat Control Subsidy Pilot Program, which has been extended to help residents with managing rat issues around the outside of their homes.

Ongoing Spring Maintenance
Ongoing spring maintenance and cleanup also continues to maintain the City’s 5,700 kilometres of roads, including filling potholes, sweeping streets, repairing sidewalks and sod damaged by winter operations and clearing litter and debris.

With all of this ongoing work, residents are reminded to be cautious when travelling near construction sites, adhere to all site signs and barricades and to please be respectful and give crews space as they work.

For more information:

  • Call 311 (905-615-4311 if outside city limits) for general inquiries about construction in Mississauga.
  • For questions specific to construction work happening on your street, connect with the City’s Field Ambassador by email at Capital.FieldAmbassador@mississauga.ca.
  • Visit mississauga.ca/construction to access the construction map and learn more about Mississauga construction projects.
  • Follow the Hurontario LRT Facebook and Twitter accounts for construction updates.

SCHEDULED WATER INTERRUPTION NOTICE – May 24 – 14 Front St S, Mississauga

By Resources, Ward 1

INTERRUPTION DETAILS

Date and Time:         Wednesday, May 24th, 2023, from 09:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m

Location:                    14 Front St S, Mississauga              

Addresses Affected:  10-42 Front St South

Project #:                   C-602991

Regional Inspector:  John Sedore

Telephone #               905-791-7800 ext. 3246/3247

The Region of Peel 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 Wednesday, May 24th, 2023, from approximately 09:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.

If this interruption may affect an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them.  During the time that the water supply is interrupted, the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function.  A fire watch should be performed as necessary during time.

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). Flush the toilets as well. 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 your water meter (usually located in the basement).  If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:

  • (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
  • (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 4409 (After hours or Statutory Holidays)
