Dear Neighbour: 

Thank you to the residents who braved the nasty wet weather to attend my Budget Town Hall on October 23. Also thanks to those who watched as I live streamed the meeting on Facebook and sent in their questions and comments. The video is still on my Facebook timeline so you can view the presentations on both the Mississauga and Region of Peel budgets at any time. Thank you to Mayor Crombie for joining us.  Click here to visit my Facebook page and to watch the video of the meeting.
 
As we are starting to get some colder weather and approaching daylight savings time, this is a reminder to motorists to drive carefully and for pedestrians to wear bright colours or reflectors on your clothing when walking at night.  Remember that drivers have a hard time seeing you in the dark when you are all clothed in dark colours and this is especially true when it is raining. 
   
I am holding a meeting to show plans for a proposed apartment building on Battleford at Glen Erin Drive on Tuesday November 21, 2017.  Letters are being mailed to the community so please try to attend and find out more.  I have included information in this newsletter.
 
In the event that you are unable to view this e-newsletter please note that there is always a link on the front page of my website.

As always, my staff and I are here to help you with any City or Regional issues.  Just send me an email to  pat.saito@mississauga.ca or call  905-896-5900 and check the Ward 9 website at  ward9.ca for ongoing updates.



Ward 9 Meeting on Proposed Development at 6550 Glen Erin Drive
           
The City has received an application to construct a 12 storey, 208 unit apartment building at 6550 Glen Erin Drive.  I have recently met with the applicant and the application is being reviewed by City planning staff.
 
As is my practice, I am holding a Ward meeting to provide residents with an opportunity to view the proposed development plans, ask questions and comment.  The applicant will present the plan and city staff will be there to answer any questions on the process.
 
My meeting is on Tuesday November 21, 2017 at the Meadowvale West Church Centre at 6945 Meadowvale Town Centre Circle from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm.
 
There is presently a 15 storey, 113 unit apartment building on the 2.97 acres of land at a density of 38 units per acre.  At the time the apartments were built, a maximum density of 43 units per acre was permitted.   The applicant is seeking to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a new 12 storey residential building with 208 rental apartments with a 2 storey podium adjacent to the existing apartment building for a total density of 108 units per acre.
 
At this time the application is being circulated to agencies and relevant departments for comment.  Once all comments are received an Information Report will be presented to Council and the public at the Planning and Development Committee at City Hall.  Please watch for updates in my e-newsletter and website (development page) once this meeting is scheduled and residents may attend and speak if they wish to do so .
 
I encourage you to take this opportunity to get involved at an early stage in the process and participate in the planning of our community.  Your opinions and comments are very important for me to hear before Council considers the application.
Coyotes and Other Wildlife   
          
  
Coyotes have been in our city for many years but recently they are becoming bolder and have been sighted in local parks.  I have held several sessions for residents who are concerned about the safety of their family and pets and education and information has been provided by experts.
 
Most requests are for the city Animal Services to remove them.  This is not as easy as it may seem as we are restricted by legislation from the province.   
 
The law says that wildlife relocation is regulated in Ontario under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act.  If an animal is captured it must be released unharmed in close proximity to the capture site (within 1 km) or, if sick or injured, delivered to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator within 24 hours unless otherwise directed by the Ministry.  
 
This restricts what our Animal Services staff can do under this law.  Removing an animal 1 km from the site still leaves it within the neighbourhood and as live trapping is almost impossible, the use of leg traps and snares could cause harm to other animals or people.   Click here  for information from the Ministry of Natural Resources about relocation of wildlife.    As well, click here to visit the MNR website.
 
I urge everyone to report if you see a coyote by calling 311 immediately so that our staff can come out to determine if the animal is sick, in which case they can take measures.  They will also observe the area and the animal once they have reports.   Click here to  learn how you can protect yourself, your family and your property while avoiding animal conflicts.
Update on Paving of Britannia Rd from Winston Churchill Blvd to Erin Mills Pkwy
           
Thank you for your patience as the work progresses on Britannia Road.  This has been a long project and contractors had some difficulty along the way delaying the completion.  We are coming to the conclusion of the work and to date the watermain replacement, the environmental storm sewer system, curbs, sidewalks and catch basins are completed.
 
Base asphalt has been laid on the westbound lanes as has the intersection of Winston Churchill and Britannia.  The eastbound lanes (south side) base asphalt is expected to be completed by the first week of November, weather permitting. The final top asphalt is expected to be done by the third week in November, 2017 if the weather permits.  If it cannot be done due to weather delays then final paving will be done in the spring.
 
The multi-use trail on the north side of Britannia Road is ongoing and is expected to be completed by mid-November.

The project, with final restoration, is expected to be completed by mid-December, 2017 if the weather is favourable. Otherwise, the work will be finished next spring.
MiWay Senior One Dollar Cash Fare and Affordable Transportation Project made Permanent
Miway Logo
 
   
The Senior One Dollar cash fare at off-peak times is now permanent.  In June 2015, I asked that MiWay begin offering a one dollar cash fare to seniors during off-peak hours as a pilot program.  I am pleased that this month Council approved to make the $1 fare permanent.  On request, senior riders (age 65+) must present a piece of valid photo identification or a MiWay issued senior identification card to the bus driver to receive the one dollar fare.  Click here for more information.
 
In addition, our Affordable Transportation Program (ATPP) will be a permanent program in January 2018. 

This program is for residents with low incomes and gives them better access to employment and services.  It contributes to our strategic goal of ensuring affordability and accessibility. The social and financial return on investment from this program benefits our City and helps keep our communities strong.
 
The Region will continue to assess the eligibility and MiWay will administer the issuance of PRESTO cards. Financial responsibilities for subsidy and administrative costs will be covered by the Region. 
 
Mississauga residents earning an income below the Low Income Measure (LIM) thresholds were eligible to apply for a subsidy of 50 per cent off of a MiWay monthly pass. Visit the Region of Peel 
website to learn more about this program 
Council Approves Housing Strategy

Solar PV Pathway Lighting Pilot Project Set for Duncairn Downs Park
           
I am pleased that one of our local parks, Duncairn Downs has been selected as the site to test Solar PV Pathway lighting . The project, to be implemented in 2017/18 will assess the feasibility of reducing energy consumption and Green House gas emissions by replacing the on grid lighting with off grid solar powered systems.
 
The location was selected as we were replacing the lighting as part of our infrastructure management. 
 
The main goals and objectives of the pilot project include:
  • To promote the installation of renewable energy systems to support the visionary action regarding transforming Mississauga into a net-zero carbon city
  • Test the suitability of Solar PV lighting systems for pathways
  • To assess the Solar PV system performance
  • To gauge community feedback and acceptance
Currently park pathways are continuously lit whether or not they are being used and even when the park is closed after 11:00 pm. Unlike the traditional system, the solar PV system presents the capability to automatically provide lighting (at the approved standard) when the pathway is being used (based on motion sensors), and turn down lights at other times. Alternatively, it can also be programmed to provide continuous lighting during park open hours and reduced services during park closure. This would reduce energy waste and undoubtedly be a tangible demonstration of the City's commitment to responsible environmental stewardship.   
 
The Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design Principles also speak to the fact that lighting parks after closing can attract unwanted behaviours so we will also be looking at the crime prevention benefits of this new system. 
 
This use of the technology, while new to City of Mississauga, has been employed successfully elsewhere in Canada. The pilot program will be routinely monitored and assessed periodically beginning 1 year after installation.
Glen Eden Park Playground construction resumed    
        
Construction for the Glen Eden Park Playground was delayed due to an equipment delay by the manufacturer.  But work has started again and is scheduled to re-open on Friday, November 17, 2017.
Trail Construction in Our Community 
           
There are 2 Multi-Use trail projects underway on Winston Churchill Boulevard .  One section is being built from Oka Road north to Aquitaine and the other continues the existing trail from Erin Centre Blvd to Eglinton. 

Both projects started on October 16, 2017 with an anticipated completion date of December 31, 2017 weather permitting.
 
A similar trail is planned on Millcreek from Derry Road to Aquitaine Ave and will connect cyclists from the Derry Road trail to the Meadowvale GO Station. The trail will replace the existing concrete sidewalk.
As well,  the existing trails in Bell Harbour Park and Quenippenon Meadows Park are being reconstructed and paved.  Both are expected to be done in November 2017.
Get Your Flu Shot   
          
  
Flu shots are available for free in several convenient locations in the community including:
  • Family Doctors' offices
  • Walk-in clinics
  • Pharmacies
  • Region of Peel Flu Clinics
The Region of Peel flu clinic also provides free flu shots to anyone 6 months of age or older. An Ontario Health Card (OHIP card) is not required.

PAT IN THE COMMUNITY
Taste of Eden Annual Fundraiser    
 
  
I was pleased to attend Eden Food for Change's annual fundraising dinner on October 27th.  Guests enjoyed a delicious buffet dinner prepared by EFFC's Chef Peter Costello.  There were also fun 'gaming' tables and Silent & Live Auctions.  It was wonderful to see the community come out to support Eden and help put food on the tables of those in need.

Celebrating Dorett Walker - 20 years of Community Service
 
I was delighted to attend an afternoon tea on October 21 held in honour of Dorett Walker.  Dorett  was celebrated for her twenty years of service to our community  through her work at Praise Cathedral Worship Centre.

It has been my honour and privilege to have known Dorett for many of these years and to see how dedicated she is to her church and community.  
I am especially inspired by the contributions she has made to the well being of women, youth and children.  Her work as the first Director for Hearts In Bloom daycare enabled this service to provide exceptional care for children.  I was honoured to be at the opening of the daycare at Praise Cathedral in 2008 and to watch its success over the years.
 
Dorett works tirelessly behind the scenes and she is a strong administrator and business woman.  Her accomplishments are numerous, graduating from Bethlehem Teacher's College in Jamaica, the DeVry Institute in Computer Technology, Humber College ECE Certification and most recently becoming a Reverend.  Yet she still finds time for her other passions of cooking wonderful meals and caring for her family.
Region of Peel Ninth Line Lands Open House

On October 17  I joined a team from LoyaltyOne along with youth and staff from the Dam Youth Drop In.  Messages of inspiration were drawn with chalk on the sidewalks around the community and near the local secondary schools.    A big thank you goes out to LoyaltyOne for dedicating their time and sponsorship to this initiative.
Feyisa Lilesa 5K Run For Oromia
 
I was pleased to provide a Certificate of Recognition to the See'e Wletu & Deme Saklu Foundation which is comprised of members of the Oromo people from Oromia, Ethiopia.  Thanks to the hard work of the event organizer, Mrs Roman Dugassa who is a member of the Praise Cathedral congregation. The group held a 5k run at Erindale Park on October 15  to raise funds for an orphanage in Oromia. The race also honoured Olympic silver medalist and Oromia native Feyisa Lelisa who flew in from the U.S for the run. He is a great hero to the Oromo People.
Peel Multicultural Council Annual General  Meeting
 
It is always a pleasure to join board members, staff and volunteers of the Peel Multicultural Council at their AGMs and I did so again on October 13, 2017.  This was a specail event this year as PMC is also celebrating 40 years of service to the community.  Since 1977, the Peel Multicultural Council has provided a  valuable service to Mississauga's citizens.  Their programs for  seniors, youth and new immigrants of all ages have had  a positive impact on so many people.

Harvest Tea time again at Maplewood Public School
 
I had a wonderful time on October 13 at Maplewood Public School at their annual Harvest event.  This is the fourth year that I have attended and It was so nice to greet parents and students and serve them coffee and hot chocolate.  
Heritage Mississauga Awards Dinner
 
I was thrilled to nominate Ward 9 resident and passionate steward of Lake Wabukayne, Nicky Hall for The Credits 2017 Heritage award for the Natural Heritage category.  
The awards dinner was held on October 12.  Although Nicky did not win I am proud of all the work she has done and continues to do to protect the lake.  

After a series of oil spills contaminated Lake Wabukayne and harmed wildlife, Nicky Hall contacted me to ask how residents could help protect the lake. 
I worked with Nicky, other residents and city staff to make improvements around the lake to protect it. Led by Nicky, the Friends of Wabukayne made a huge difference in protecting this natural heritage and hosts an annual community Park Stewardship Day in the spring.  

Nicky is the heart and soul of the Lake Wabukayne stewardship and can be found most days working on the butterfly garden, weeding or taking photos of the wildlife.  This year she spearheaded a successful honey bee motel.  Thanks to Nicky, Lake Wabukayne is revitalized for all to enjoy.
Raising the United Nations Flag for Seniors Day  
 
I was pleased to join members of the Meadowvale Seniors Social Club, Sahara Seniors and CARP at the second annual United Nations flag raising for Seniors Day on October 2, 2017 at the Meadowvale Community Centre.  
Reimagining Meadowvale Town Centre - Walkability Audit    
 
I joined a group of Ward 9 residents on October 2nd for a walkability audit of the Meadowvale Town Centre.  Led by Peel Health and City planners, we toured the neighbourhood in and around the mall to note how walkable and accessible it is.
 
This is an exciting project that we are undertaking this year.  City staff are looking at specific malls to determine how they could and should be redesigned for the future.   Click  here  to learn more about this project.
