The Mississauga Cycling Advisory Committee is now accepting applications for new members.  

MCAC responsibilities align with the goals of the Cycling Master Plan, to foster a culture where cycling is an everyday activity, build an integrated on-road and off-road cycling network as part of a multi-modal transportation system, and to adopt a "safety-first" approach for cycling in Mississauga.

To apply, please click on the link below to complete the  application form  and send it to the Office of the City Clerk. Application deadline is February 20, 2017. Only those considered for an interview will be contacted. All personal information is collected under the authority of the Municipal Act.
 
Forest Glen Park
Please be advised that contractors are scheduled to reconstruct the existing baseball backstop in Forest Glen Park. The existing fencing/backstop is in poor condition has reached its replacement lifecycle.  Work is expected to be completed within three(3) weeks pending weather and ready for the 2017 season.   
Wood Creek Park
City contracted crews will be working in Wood Creek Park to remove Ash trees infested with Emerald Ash Borer (EAB).  All trees scheduled for removals have been marked with an orange X.
 
Crews will be working Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. After the initial tree removal, crews will remove the tree stumps, repair the ground with topsoil and reseed. All works will be weather dependant.

All City-owned park trees removed due to EAB will be replanted over several years. This is due to the high number of trees removed from parks, the short planting season and weather conditions.
 
Forestry is currently working on plans to replant woodlots. Each woodlot is unique and will require additional work to create individual plans for each site. For some, that may mean letting them regenerate naturally while others will have trees replanted.
