Dear Residents:

On behalf of my colleagues on City Council, I am pleased to present you with the fall and winter 2011/2012 Active Mississauga program guide, including the annual City Guide offering services and information in one easy-to-use reference source.

This has been a year of great accomplishments for the City of Mississauga. We have not only completed, but officially opened all of our Infrastructure Stimulus Fund (ISF) and Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) projects, funded by the City in partnership with the Federal and Provincial Governments. This includes the new Mississauga Celebration Square, renovated libraries, new and renovated pools, noise walls and rehabilitated park paths and roadways.

Mississauga is a great city. We continue to move forward and provide the best facilities and services available to all our residents by using the City’s Strategic Plan as a guide. This plan will ensure that we achieve the vision that we have for our city over the next 40 years – developing a transit-oriented city; ensuring youth, older adults and new immigrants thrive; completing our neighbourhoods; cultivating creative and innovative businesses and living green.

My colleagues and I are proud of how Mississauga has developed and continues to grow. It is feedback and support that we receive from the community that helps us to develop strategies like the Youth Plan, Older Adult Plan, Culture Plan and the Cycling Plan. This is our future. I encourage you to get involved and take advantage of the programs and services provided to you.

Take a look at what our great city has to offer you and your family. Visit our newly renovated libraries and outdoor pools, enroll in a program at your local community centre, discover a new park or trail and see why our city is the place that so many people choose to be.

Sincerely,

Hazel McCallion, C.M., LL.D. Mayor

Commissioner’s Message

Dear Residents:

On behalf of the staff of the Community Services Department, I am pleased to present the Recreation and Parks Active Mississauga program guide for fall and winter 2011/2012.

With the launch of the new Mississauga Celebration Square, we have been able to offer residents

a summer season full of exciting performances and activities for the whole family to enjoy. This will continue year-round with free events and festivals showcasing arts, cultural diversity and entertainment on the Square. To kick-off the holiday season, we will be hosting the City’s annual Tree Lighting Celebration with the opening of our new ice rink. Other events to follow during the winter season include a New Year’s Eve Party and Below Zero, the City’s new winter festival.

City of Mississauga

Council’s RoleAs representatives of the people of Mississauga, it is City Council’s role to ensure that the right services are delivered at a reasonable cost to residents.

Having both legislative and executive responsibilities, City Council deals with matters which require policy direction, by-laws or by-law amendments, and responses or actions to pertinent issues. It is also Council’s responsibility to ensure that plans developed to guide future development in the City are in the best interest of residents.

City Council also strives to ensure that decisions made at the provincial and federal level align with Council’s decisions on issues that affect Mississauga’s residents and businesses.

The Mayor’s Special RoleThe Mayor, who represents all residents of the City, serves as the chairperson for all Mississauga Council meetings. As head of Council, the Mayor oversees its efficient operation, and signs all by-laws which are approved by Council. The Mayor is also the ceremonial head of Mississauga and represents the City at both private and public events.

Councillors’ Special RolesWhile all Members of Council are fully involved with the discussion and resolution of City-wide issues, councillors are specifically responsible for ensuring that the issues of concern to residents in their wards are voiced.

City ServicesSome of the services that the City of Mississauga is responsible for include:

School BoardsThe Peel District School Board and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board consist of directly elected trustees. While the City of Mississauga collects taxes on behalf of the school board, since January 1998 the Province of Ontario determines the amount of school taxes to be paid. The Members of City and Regional Council do not have any authority over school boards or their tax rates. If you have questions about the school boards or their taxes, contact:

For more detailed information on the matters indicated here or current issues please visit our website at: www.mississauga.ca/enforcement

NoiseThe Noise Control By-law 360-79 regulates the time that certain types of noise are permitted. Exemptions to the Noise By-law may be granted. Visit the website for details. Some types of noise that create a nuisance considered as disturbing to area residents are prohibited under City of Mississauga Nuisance Noise Control By-law 785-80.

FencingThe Fence By-law 397-78 regulates the height and description of fences on private property to ensure public safety and to avoid sight obstruction for traffic and pedestrians. It does not regulate the placement of fences. The Fence By-law limits residential lot and commercial lot fencing to a height of 2 metres or 78 inches. This provision generally applies to most rear and side lot fencing. Some restrictions apply to front yard and corner lot fencing where a sight obstruction may occur. The fence height is then limited to a 1.5 metres or 59 inches for open style fencing such as chain link or wrought iron, or a 1 metre or 39 inches in height for closed style wood fencing. The maintenance of fences and hedges are regulated under the Property Standards By-law 654-98.

The Division Fences By-law 75-04 is another by-law regulating fences. It provides a mechanism to property owners which can settle financial disputes pertaining to the construction and re-construction of boundary line fences. Compliance and Licensing Enforcement Section does not administer or enforce this by-law. The by-law, together with procedures to be followed can be accessed on the City’s website and is also available from the Office of the City Clerk. For more information, please call 3-1-1 (or 905-615-4311 if calling outside city limits).

Adequate HeatLandlords are required to provide an adequate heat level of a minimum of 20˚C in all rental dwelling units, from September 15–June 1 each year, under the provisions of the Adequate Heat By-law 365-95.

Property StandardsThe Property Standards By-law 654-98 outlines the standards of maintenance and occupancy that apply to all properties in Mississauga. Property owners are responsible to ensure their property adheres to these standards. If you live in a rental dwelling unit, you must advise your landlord of any required repairs prior to contacting the Compliance and Licensing Enforcement Office.

Tenants are required to keep their units in a clean and sanitary condition and must co-operate with the landlord in complying with the by-law.

The Property Standards By-law also requires speed bumps and speed humps to be distinctly marked to be clearly visible to approaching pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

DebrisThe City’s Debris and Anti-Littering By-law 219-85 requires that all properties be kept clean of garbage and debris. In addition, any areas which permit ponds of water which are health or safety hazards or any other dangerous situations, must be drained and/or filled to eliminate the hazards.

GraffitiGraffiti is a premeditated, and sometimes highly organized, form of vandalism with a very well-developed subculture behind it. It’s often motivated by a desire for fame which accounts for the same “tag” (stylized signature or marker) or “masterpiece” being seen over and over again.

Graffiti must be dealt with before it has a chance to “breed.” This means removing graffiti as soon as possible and thereby depriving the graffiti vandal of their most basic reward–fame. This may mean taking additional measures in highly visible and accessible locations that are particularly prized by graffiti artists.

Here’s how you can make a difference:

•ReportanygraffitionprivateorpublicpropertytotheCompliance Unit at 905-896-5655 or the 24hr Parks Watch Security number at 905-615-4060 or visit the City’s website at www.mississauga.ca/enforcement/forms

Mississauga Fire & Emergency Services

Fire SuppressionFire suppression services are delivered by highly trained crews of firefighters located at 20 fire stations throughout Mississauga. Fire stations are located to provide consistent response to emergencies throughout the city. However, due to changing population densities, demographics, major development projects the location and number of fire station locations are constantly reviewed by staff to ensure the highest level of service is provided to the citizens of Mississauga. The fire stations are staffed 24-hours per day, 365 days per year. Depending on its location, and the surrounding occupancies, a fire station can house a pumper and/or an aerial (ladder or platform) as well as other specialty equipment.

Emergency Medical In addition to suppression services, Mississauga Fire & Emergency Services (MF&ES) provides emergency pre-hospital medical care. MF&ES provides first responder services to the local “tiered response” medical emergency response system in cooperation with ambulance services.

For more information on suppression services, individual stations, Emergency Medical Response and other services, please visit our website at www.mississauga.ca/fire.

Environmental Advisory Committee

The City of Mississauga has an Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) comprised of Council members and citizens that guide the City on environmental issues. EAC includes three Members of Council, five citizen members, three youth members, a representative from the University of Toronto in Mississauga, and staff liaisons.

The City has adopted Mississauga Living Green to identify its environmental initiatives. The Living Green website at www.mississauga.ca/livinggreen provides information on the City’s environmental projects in the areas of land, water, air and energy.

Actions for a green futureThe City of Mississauga’s Living Green Master Plan (LGMP) is under development. The LGMP is the action plan for doing business and providing services in an environmentally sustainable way. It inspires collaration and enables the City to achieve its environ-mental goals. To learn more, visit www.mississauga.ca/livinggreen.

Vehicle idlingAll internal combustion engines in cars, trucks, buses, motorcy-cles and boats emit greenhouse gases and air contaminants that are harmful to the environment and our health. By eliminating unnecessary vehicle idling, you not only save fuel, you reduce the volume of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The City’s Idling Control By-law (194-09) reminds drivers of the negative impact of idling. Drivers can be ticketed and fined $150 up to a maximum of $500 for idling a vehicle continuously for a more than 3 minutes.

SmogWe directly contribute to the formation of smog through harm-ful emissions from sources such as cars and trucks, factories, and power plants. But oil-based paints and solvents, pesticides and herbicides, and gasoline lawn mowers also contribute to smog.

To learn more, visit www.mississauga.ca/livinggreen

Smog advisory daysWhen air pollution reaches dangerous levels affecting human health, the Ministry of the Environment issues an Air Quality Advisory (www.airqualityontario.com). When an alert is issued, you should:

• Reducecaruse;carpool,walkorusepublictransit

• Refuelyourcarbeforesunriseandaftersunsetwhentheair is cooler

• Decreasetheuseofgaspoweredmachines

• Conserveenergyathome,ontheroadandinyouroffice

By eliminating unnecessary vehicle idling and observing smog reduction tips, we can all help improve Mississauga’s air quality year-round!

LitterBug

Don’t be a LitterBugTo help fight the battle against litter in Mississauga, the City is targeting the problem by changing attitudes and creating “litter consciousness.”

In addition, we continue to encourage the community to gather their family, friends and co-workers together to participate in the City’s adopt a street or park program.
