🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃

10/30/2026

From the City of Mississauga:

Reminder ⏰ Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday!

On November 1, clocks go back one hour, which means our evening commutes are about to get darker. With reduced visibility on our roads, it's important to stay extra cautious and alert.

Drivers should ensure their full headlights are working and turned on after dark, while cyclists and e-scooter riders should make sure their bikes and scooters have front and rear lights on.

Let's keep Mississauga's roads safe.

Ward 1 Residents: Important Updates to the Vacuum Leaf Collection Program This Fall! 🍁

The City’s Vacuum Leaf Collection Program will look a little different this year.

📬 Watch your mailbox! You will receive an information card approximately two weeks before leaf collection begins in your area, including your collection dates and important program details.

New this year: Sign up for collection alerts so you can receive updates and reminders directly from the City! Please visit: https://mississauga.ca/apps/forms/ #/service-alerts/subscribe

I am pleased to announce that today the Region of Peel has successfully finalized the acquisition of land for a new Peel Regional Police division to be located in Lakeview Village, marking a significant milestone for public safety in Mississauga's southeast community.

Division 14 will bring approximately 600 police officers and support personnel to the area, significantly increasing police presence and enhancing public safety for residents throughout Ward 1 and surrounding communities.

For several years, I have been working collaboratively with staff from the Region of Peel, Peel Regional Police, and Lakeview Village representatives to help bring this important project to fruition.

Public safety continues to be one of the top priorities I hear about from residents. Listening to our community, I have consistently advocated for increased police presence in our area. This new division is a major investment in the safety and well-being of our residents.

The future division will be strategically located within Lakeview Village, one of Canada's most innovative redevelopment projects. By locating the new division within this growing community, the project combines innovation, community building, and public safety, creating a stronger foundation for the future of Mississauga's waterfront.

Stay tuned for a formal announcement and further details to follow.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Today, Council unanimously approved the expropriation of 34 and 36 Peter Street North. This important step is being taken to help address longstanding concerns in the neighbourhood and eliminate a source of ongoing lawlessness that is negatively impacting nearby residents and businesses.

The properties will be acquired by the City and subsequently demolished. Thank you to the residents who have continued to raise concerns and advocate for positive change in the community.

I will continue to keep the neighbourhood informed as the process moves forward.
