Mississauga has approved a range of garden suites including providing free pre-approved designs. We have four plexus approved.
We cut DCs 50% or by 100% for family units (3-bedrooms) in purpose built rental apartments.
We defer and collect City residential DCs at occupancy not during construction.

As a former traffic cop, I see the evidence first-hand – speed cameras aren’t a tax grab, they make cities safer When Ontario Premier Doug Ford called automated speed enforcement cameras a tax grab and said municipalities should get rid of them, I was shocked, write Sean Shapiro

"A 2025 CAA survey found 73% of drivers slowed down when approaching an Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) camera."
So 27% didn't slow down after passing a "speed camera ahead" sign, and got a ticket.
They deserved the ticket, just like the rest of us deserve safe streets.

I’m 24 and staring down an impossible housing market in Mississauga. Here’s why the government’s current solutions won’t work for me Intergenerational housing is about more than just keeping families together.

I’m 24 years old and I’ve lived in Mississauga since I was a child. Like so many people in my generation, I’m staring at a housing market that feels completely out of reach. #Opinion

Hazel spent literally zero $ in her last 2 decades of campaigns of 36yr career.
Bonnie took over a city transitioning from a suburb to a city. The money train of DC money & brand new infrastructure had come to an end. Tax increases were @ inflation

Exclusive: Fed Governor Cook declared her Atlanta property as β€œvacation home,” documents show A loan estimate for an Atlanta home purchased by Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve governor accused of mortgage fraud by the Trump administration, shows that Cook had declared the property as a β€œvacation home,” according to a document reviewed by Reuters.

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters.

Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence.

These docs show she did not.

It’s important to know which level of government does what.

To make it easier to understand which level of government oversees specific services, we've developed a chart you can refer to. This will help you know who to contact about a specific service.
