Fireworks in Mississauga



The City is conducting research to better understand how you feel about the use of fireworks in Mississauga. Until March 31, you’re invited to take an online survey to share:

·        Your views and experiences with fireworks

·        Your top priorities when it comes to fireworks-use in the city

·        Your feedback on the rules for using fireworks in Mississauga.

The City has a Fireworks Licensing and Use By-law to regulate the use of fireworks within Mississauga. Currently, you can use fireworks at home, on your private property, from dusk until 11 p.m. on Lunar New Year, Victoria Day, Canada Day and Diwali, and until 1 a.m. on New Year’s Day. To use fireworks in a public street or park, or at home on any day other than these designated holidays, you must apply for a permit from the City

Mississauga Develops a Renoviction By-Law



The City of Mississauga is seeking your involvement to help shape a proposed by-law addressing tenant renovictions. Unlawful renovictions happen when landlords evict tenants to complete renovations and fail to follow the N13 process under the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA).

Mississauga tenants, landlords and community members are invited to share any experiences they may have had with unlawful renovictions to help our staff shape the by-law. Have your say:

1.   Join the virtual community meeting on Wednesday, April 9 at 6 p.m.

2.   Complete the online survey, which is available until Wednesday, April 16.

3.   Complete the survey in person at your local library location. A library staff member can assist you with using a library computer and loading the webpage. Simply ask for help at the front desk. 

Visit mississauga.ca/renoviction for more information and to get involved.
