On September 25, 2026, we celebrated the official re-naming of Ternopil Park.

Back in May, Council officially passed my motion to establish a twinning agreement with the City of Ternopil, Ukraine.

A huge thank you to Mayor Parrish for your unwavering support, Councillor Dasko for seconding and driving this forward, and to all of Council for making this partnership a reality. This bond paves the way for deeper cultural ties, mutual support, and a shared future of cooperation.

Heartfelt thanks to Nataliya, Volodymyr, Fedir, and everyone working tirelessly behind the scenes to re-establish and nurture this agreement.

As Mississauga trades summer sunshine for sweater weather, falling leaves and crisp autumn days, now is the time to prepare for what comes next: winter.

Before colder temperatures set in, take time to inspect and clean your property to help protect against weather-related challenges. Being proactive before temperatures drop can help prevent costly damage from colder conditions. 

This critical upkeep acts as a preventive measure to protect against fire damage (from heating sources), water damage (from frozen pipes) and structural damage (from wind, ice and snow buildup), while helping ensure your home and property are well maintained.

Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is celebrated by many people in Mississauga. The holiday symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and is often marked with gatherings, decorations, diyas, candles and fireworks.

If fireworks are part of your celebration plans, make sure you know the rules and take steps to keep everyone safe. Ensure the celebration is enjoyable for neighbours and the wider community.

When you can use fireworks

Under the City’s Fireworks By-law, you can use family fireworks on your own private property for Diwali on November 8 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

You cannot use fireworks:

• On roads
• On sidewalks
• In parking lots
• On other public property

You need a permit from the City if you want to:

• Hold a fireworks display in a City park or public place
• 
  

The City will have extra Municipal By-law Enforcement officers on duty during Diwali to help keep celebrations safe.
