Congrats to Hillside Public School on Winning Safety Award!
|
In February, Hillside Public School in Ward 2 was one of four Mississauga schools presented with the Wilde Wood Award from the Traffic Safety Council for their enthusiasm and dedication in promoting safety for students travelling to and from school.
The Wilde Wood Award is given annually to schools from the Peel District School Board and the Dufferin- Peel Catholic District School Board. These schools have demonstrated excellent leadership within their school community in the efficient operation of the school zone safety program and encouraging active transportation (e.g., walk to school programs, bike rodeos).
The Traffic Safety Council is an advisory committee of Council that makes recommendations to help protect students from the dangers of vehicular traffic. Dr. Arthur Wood founded the Mississauga Traffic Safety Council in 1955 which was renamed the Mississauga Traffic Safety Council in 1974. His work promoting traffic safety for children was recognized with the naming of the Dr. Arthur Wood Award.
The Wilde Wood Award was named after James Wilde and Arthur Wood who co-founded the Kiss and Ride concept in Mississauga. However, since 2016, the Traffic Safety Council has focussed on recognizing schools who promoted active transportation

Heart House Gala 2019 - March 30, 2019 at 6:00 pm at the Mississauga Convention Centre
On Saturday, March 30, 2019, Heart House Hospice will be hosting its annual GALA to raise funds for their charitable organization. The GALA will be filled with the warmth of our community, delicious food, outstanding entertainment, a silent auction and we are delighted to have Anwar Knight - TV Personality (CTV Network) as our event emcee again.
Heart House Hospice is Ontario’s largest community hospice offering programs and services for terminally ill individuals and their families. Programs such as Bereavement Support & Spiritual Care, Hospice Counselling & In-Home Volunteer Visiting, Day Program, Help Us Understand Grief (H.U.U.G) and Health and Wellness Program.
We are fortunate that 50% of our operating budget is subsidized by the government; however, that leaves us having to raise over $490,000 annually in order sustain our hospice programs and services. Therefore, every dollar we raise at the Heart House Hospice GALA will support the our programs and services.
