renovations officially reopens on Saturday and will eventually serve two of the city’s largest new residential/business communities A revamped and modernized Fire Station 102 located on Third Street in the Cawthra Road/Lakeshore Road East area of southeast Mississauga was needed in order to meet the demands of a growing population in that part of the city Stephen Dasko said in an earlier online project update the fire station needed upgrades in response to both population growth since that time and anticipated population growth that’s coming thanks to two massive new waterfront developments — Lakeview Village and Brightwater Included in the renovations was an addition of 885 square feet to the original 4,700-sq.-ft the station featured one fire truck and one crew of firefighters That’s being increased to two of each “With the population growth in the community since 1979 and the future planned growth expanding the fire station to accommodate a future second apparatus and second crew is necessary to ensure that Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services is able to maintain efficient response capabilities,” Dasko wrote in the earlier online update to the community and inclusive facility amenities necessary for a modern fire service.” 17 of Mississauga’s 22 fire stations now operating are being renovated or have recently been renovated 13 of the stations are more than 30 years old and the fixes are needed to address health and safety several new fire stations are slated to open in the coming years. The new fire stations include: Fire Station 125 in the Tenth Line/Aquitaine Avenue area of west Meadowvale in northwest Mississauga It was the 22nd fire station to open in the city and Mississauga’s first net-zero energy station That means it “combines energy efficiency and renewable energy generation to consume only as much energy as can be produced onsite through renewable sources over a year,” city officials said in an earlier online description of the

measures such as speed humps and raised pedestrian crossings to slow down aggressive drivers at a dozen locations across Mississauga is being considered by city officials.  Councillors and senior City of Mississauga staff are expected to discuss a report on Wednesday that’s recommending neighbourhood roads in areas across the city — in wards 2 8 and 11 — get outfitted with the physical traffic calming measures this year in an effort to slow down speeding drivers the city’s transportation and works commissioner noted that in the wake of a regular road safety review staff prioritized “four locations for physical traffic calming measures to address issues of confirmed speeding and aggressive driving behaviour.” Staff then worked with respective ward councillors to develop a plan that would address the road safety concerns and crack down on speeding councillors in a number of other wards identified eight more locations in need of speed humps and other traffic calming measures The 12 locations tapped for physical traffic calming measures in 2025 are: Most of the locations identified for traffic calming measures are maximum 40 km/h zones while several others are 30 km/h zones Staff’s study of the areas found that most drivers are travelling through those zones at between 10 km/h and 15 km/h over the posted speed limit City officials said each traffic calming proposal has been presented to residents who’d be directly impacted by the changes either via online survey or in some cases in-person public meetings “Residents were given an opportunity to provide feedback and voice their support or opposition to the plan,” staff said in the report “No significant opposition was received from residents who engaged in the consultation for each project and each project is supported by the respective ward councillor.” Councillors will discuss the report at Wednesday’s general committee meeting at city hall You will also start receiving the Star's free morning newsletter

Kariya Park has remained steady over the years surviving a number of weather events including a severe 2013 ice storm “there was relatively minimal damage to the cherry blossoms at the time,” a city

international connections to quick domestic escapes travellers flying out of Toronto’s busiest airport can expect more choice and flexibility than ever before one of the most anticipated additions is the return of Virgin Atlantic which has resumed daily flights to London Heathrow marking its comeback after more than a decade is expected to add about 130,000 seats between April and December more than 623,000 passengers travelled between Pearson and Heathrow making it the airport’s busiest international route by seat capacity Toronto Pearson notes on its website that the route is expected to grow further due to strong economic ties The United Kingdom was Canada’s third-largest trading partner in 2024 The connection also links travellers to global destinations across Africa The Canadian government has taken further legal action in seeking to gain full possession of a huge Russian cargo plane that’s been stranded at Toronto Pearson Airport in Mississauga for more than three years The Russian-owned Antonov An-124 aircraft in dispute, the world’s largest mass-produced cargo plane, remains on the tarmac at Pearson, where it has been parked since Feb. 27, 2022 shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and subsequent closing of Canadian airspace to Russian-owned aircraft The massive plane, which stands roughly seven storeys tall and is three-quarters the length of an NFL football field, has become a fixture at Pearson and after three years sitting on the tarmac there’s no clear indication that it’s going anywhere soon But that could change as the disputed matter proceeds before the courts A spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada told INsauga.com on Friday morning the matter is now in the hands of one of the highest courts in Ontario “The Attorney General of Canada commenced forfeiture proceedings by seeking the issuance of a Notice of Application by the Superior Court of Ontario on March 18 2025,” the spokesperson said in an email “A person or entity with an interest or right in the seized property has the opportunity to present evidence and participate in administrative and judicial proceedings.” In the meantime, now 38 months later, the big cargo jet remains a curious sight to numerous daily motorists who speed by on Highway 427 next to Canada’s biggest and busiest airport It can also be easily spotted by many passengers taking off and landing at the airport They’d have a difficult time missing it even if they tried The Antonov An-124 is three-quarters the length of an NFL football field and its wingspan is five yards greater than that And it stands roughly seven storeys in height Attempts by the Canadian government since summer 2023 to deliver the cargo plane from Pearson Airport into the hands of Ukraine continue to be held up in court View of the stranded aircraft at Toronto Pearson Airport in Mississauga as of August 2024 After Ottawa seized the aircraft on June 8 it revealed its intention to deliver it to Ukraine as part of an aid package During an unannounced visit to Kyiv at that time to show Canada’s support for Ukraine’s fight against Russia then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy the seized Russian-registered plane would soon be given to his nation so it could never be used by Russia again However, Russia’s Volga-Dnepr Airlines, the registered owner of the aircraft, took issue with the seizure and reportedly approached Ottawa later in 2023 to begin discussions about having the cargo plane returned. the international tug-of-war wound up in Canadian court and the legal tussle continues as summer 2025 approaches The Russian airline, per a report in the Wall Street Journal last year, is suing Ottawa as it seeks to show Canadian government sanctions against the Russian owner of the jet are invalid Cargo plane was bringing COVID-19 test kits to Toronto Volga-Dnepr filed a $100-million claim against the Canadian government arguing its business has suffered since Ottawa laid claim to the aircraft The Antonov An-124 cargo plane is one of only 26 in the world The large plane was bringing a shipment of COVID-19 test kits in early 2022 from China to Pearson via Russia and then Anchorage where it reportedly stopped for refuelling before landing in Mississauga Below is one of the initial social media reports back in February 2022 that identified

A rendering of the nine-tower project proposed next to the Erin Mills Town Centre in Mississauga A group of protestors opposing a redevelopment of an Erin Mills Town Centre plaza outside Mississauga city hall City staff concerned tall towers could impact helicopters transporting patients to nearby Credit Valley Hospital A planned nine-tower redevelopment of a Mississauga shopping plaza near the Erin Mills Town Centre has received a rocky reception so far Erin Mills Town Centre’s ownership group EMTC Holdings Inc wants to replace a shopping plaza and parking lot next to the mall with nine new towers with 3,146 housing units in Mississauga’s Central Erin Mills area are well-above the 25 storeys the city had planned for the site and Mississauga officials say they want the developer to keep ground-level retail In a statement to the Mississauga News, Ward 9 Coun. Martin Reid called the planned redevelopment “outrageous” because of how EMTC Holdings Inc.’s project seems to deviate from the city’s plans for the property He says he agrees with many residents’ concerns about the proposal and that EMTC Holdings should better align with city plans for retail lower heights and two- and three-bedroom units “The Ward 9 community is ready to welcome bold thoughtful development and meaningful retail — not just another checkbox for additional housing.” EMTC holdings has hired Mississauga-based planning consultants Glen Schnarr and Associates Inc (GSAI) to handle the 5100 Erin Mills Parkway development GSAI’s Glen Broll says the developer is listening to feedback from the city and residents but feels the development plan “makes sense” given the area is being targeted for intensification “We feel that the right amount of building form has been submitted here.” He also says including retail in the new development may not be viable so close to the Erin Mills Town Centre and could mean empty spaces “Do you want unleased commercial space on the ground floor or would you rather it be activated through residential uses?” EMTC’s proposal follows city officials passing plans meant to manage potential redevelopment of Mississauga’s major malls to include residential units Rules introduced by the city through its “reimagining the mall” project include the inclusion of affordable units maximum building heights and commercial functions to be maintained on the redevelopment sites EMTC holdings project was in front of Mississauga planning and development committee at an April 28 meeting which is made up of Mississauga city councillors did not approve or reject the nine-storey project and are asking for revisions to the plan Several

group Empowering Erin Mills Neighbourhoods that formed this month and has been opposing the plaza redevelopment Yang and others have been protesting the project outside Mississauga city hall and near the 5100 Erin Mills Parkway property over concerns that the redevelopment as planned will worsen traffic in the area overwhelm the local school and health care systems who asked council to reject the redevelopment He says he could accept a five- or six-storey redevelopment Local housing advocates More Homes Mississauga say they are concerned that Reid and other city officials are embracing what they say are “bad-faith arguments” from residents opposed to the project More Homes Mississauga calls on council to “stand up for the city’s stated goal of building more homes to address our housing crisis rather than capitulate” to groups with “no interest in our Mississauga’s continued failure to build while young people leave this city in droves.” Among concerns listed by city staff in an April 9 report about the project, were whether the planned heights will impact helicopters transporting patients to the nearby Credit Valley Hospital City staff are asking EMTC Holdings to prove their plan won’t impact the hospital’s helicopter operations According to numbers from provincial patient transport agency Ornge there was more than a dozen air-ambulances that landed at Credit Valley Hospital in the past two years there’s been six helicopter ambulances land at the hospital Broll says he’s confident the project won’t impede helicopter traffic to and from the hospital “If we had any building that was in conflict with that Trillium Health Partners Priyanka Nasta said the hospital system is aware of the proposed 5100 Erin Mills Parkway and has been in touch with the developer She did not address questions about whether Trillium has concerns about the project but wrote in a statement the health system’s priority is to ensure quality care “now and into the future.” this includes maintaining a helipad and designated flight path to enable safe and timely air transport for patients who need it.” “We will continue working with Erin Mills Town Centre and the City of Mississauga throughout the development application process to ensure the right measures are in place to support air access for the patients we serve,” Nasta wrote City staff said at the April 28 meeting they have spoken with officials from Trillium Health about the project but have not to date received official comments EMTC Holdings’ project is expected to return to another planning meeting later this year

As part of the Building Permit process, Mississauga’s building officials ensure that construction complies with the Ontario Building Code and the Building Code Act In addition to their important public safety role Mississauga’s building officials also help reduce delays in the construction process While the Ontario Building Code requires inspections to be completed within 48 hours inspections are completed within one business day the team can help prevent costly delays and rework that can slow down housing delivery Mississauga’s building officials work in a highly complex building environment more than 95% of the 11,627 units under construction in the city were high-rise apartments High-rise buildings have unique structural mechanical and safety features that make inspections more challenging than those in low-rise buildings which sets the technical requirements for building in the province the code Mississauga’s building officials use today is more than double the length it was when it was first established in 1975  The expertise required by our building officials continues to advance as the code adopts new regulations around: The City is taking bold steps to ensure housing development continues despite difficult market conditions City Council recently approved reducing City residential development charges by 50 per cent – or by 100 per cent for family-sized units Council has also approved the City’s new Official Plan which contains policies to boost residential growth by setting the framework to permit a total of 370,000 new housing units by 2051 During the month of May, the City of Mississauga is joining with other communities around the world to recognize Building Safety Month Building Safety Month is an annual event that helps raise awareness about the importance of building safety and recognizes the important role building professionals play building safe communities 2025 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Ontario Building Code As the City celebrates Building Safety Month we recognize 50 years of the code and its important role in creating uniform building standards To learn more about building inspections, visit Mississauga.ca/inspections “Housing is one of our key priorities and we’re doing everything we can to kick-start housing development in Mississauga it’s our plans examiners and building inspectors who are the unsung heroes They’re working day-in-and-day-out with an important objective in mind – making sure our residents move into well-built safe homes where they can make memories that last a lifetime.” – Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish “With more than 104,000 inspections in 2024 Mississauga’s building officials are driving the delivery of new housing and employment space in our city From architecturally complex towers in our growing downtown to cutting-edge commercial facilities our inspectors make sure homes and businesses are built safely while helping builders prevent costly delays.” – Andrew Whittemore “We often take for granted that buildings in Ontario are safe and structurally sound with the appropriate number of exits Our building officials play a critical role in making sure these standards are met In addition to delivering excellent customer service these highly-trained professionals stay abreast of new innovations and construction trends so that we can deliver housing more quickly and make sure our residents are safe and comfortable in their new homes.” – Rick Conard Director of Building and Chief Building Official Peel‘Medical episode’ may have caused driver to crash into Mississauga bank, damage several vehicles: policeBy Joanna LavoieOpens in new windowPublished: April 13, 2025 at 3:23PM EDT No one was seriously hurt, but several vehicles were damaged, after a motorist sped up in a drive thru and drove into a bank in Mississauga on Sunday afternoon. The collision happened at Westwood Shopping Centre, near Goreway and Morning Star drives, in Malton. Peel Regional Police said they were called to that area at 2:42 p.m. Speaking to the media at the scene late Sunday afternoon, Const. Tyler Bell-Morena said the driver of a CX-5 was in a Tim Horton’s drive-thru when for “unknown reasons” they rapidly accelerated hitting multiple vehicles before becoming embedded into the front of a nearby RBC bank. He said the driver sustained minor injuries and was taken to the hospital as a precaution. A bystander in a vehicle also sustained minor injuries, but was treated at the scene. At this time, crews are working to remove the vehicles that were struck. Bell-Morena said the SUV embedded in the structure will remain on scene until they can ensure that the structural integrity is intact to remove it. “I understand the working theory right now is that there may have been a medical episode impacting the driver that led to the collision, but that’ll be part of the ongoing investigation,” he said, adding that at this point it’s too early in the investigation to lay charges. Bell-Morena added that police are reviewing CCTV footage from the plaza that captured the incident but are also asking anyone who was in the area at the time and has dashcam video to contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously. Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services told CTV News Toronto said they dispatched several vehicles to the scene, but most have now cleared. They added that they may request an inspection for structural concerns, however it is still unclear at this point if this is an issue right now. Police are asking people to avoid the area and advising drivers to expect traffic delays. we can’t find any results for the page you are looking for If you entered a web address in your browser, make sure it was correct.
