The City of Mississauga's Community Recognition Program (one-year pilot) provides the opportunity to recognize and celebrate special occasions and events which foster a spirit of community, celebrate Mississauga's diverse cultures and contribute to enriching the quality of life in Mississauga.
Organizations can request recognition in the form of either a flag raising or lighting of the Civic Centre clock tower.
Keeping your pets safe and healthy is crucial, especially in this warm weather. As ticks are active in warmer weather, it is important to check your pet for ticks during the spring and summer months.
The best way to protect your pet is to avoid areas known to have high tick populations, speak to your veterinarian about parasite prevention, and walk your dog on a 6 foot leash in heavily wooded or natural areas.
