Council approved ending prohibition of the sale and use of fireworks that came in effect on April 24, 2020. In order to sell fireworks, stores require a vendor licence which requires a fire safety inspection. In Mississauga, fireworks may be set off only on the following holidays:
Victoria Day
Canada Day
Chinese New Year
Diwali
To set off fireworks on private property on any day other than these holidays, please apply for a Fireworks Permit.
Effective July 2, wearing a non-medical mask or face covering will be mandatory when travelling on MiWay, at stops and at transit terminals to reduce the risk of spread of COVID-19. Children under the age of two, people with disabilities or other medical conditions that prevent them from wearing any mask will not be required to wear one.
Fare collection and front door boarding for all customers will also resume on July 2.
The City of Mississauga has introduced a temporary zoning by-law to allow patios in Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) and other areas where restaurants have direct street frontage and at restaurants located at malls that have their own access. The bylaw allows strip mall based restaurants to use parking areas to accommodate patios, where mall management permits. Restaurants who wish to use the city sidewalk or a public street would need city approval and obtain a modified minor encroachment permit. A patio design guideline and minor encroachment permit application will be available soon. Patios will only be permitted upon the Province providing approval for Mississauga to enter into Stage 2 recovery meeting all COVID-19 guidelines from Region of Peel Public Health. Fees with respect to temporary patios will be waived during this time.
The final step will be to hold a Planning and Development Committee meeting on Wednesday, July 8, 2020 at 9 a.m. prior to the Council meeting. The meeting will focus on the temporary zoning by-law to permit outdoor patios accessory to all types of restaurants on adjacent private and public lands and ensure the City meets its statutory notification requirements under the Planning Act regarding the zoning changes.
City By-law Enforcement and Security Officers are enforcing provincial orders related to non-essential business closures and gatherings of more than 10 people (unless members of a single household), in partnership with Peel Regional Police.
Residents can call 3-1-1 to report non-compliance
Set fines for non-compliance range from $750 to $1000
Safety and physical distancing concerns within businesses that are deemed essential, is investigated and enforced by the Ontario Ministry of Labour.
The Ministry of Labour can be reached by calling (905) 273-7800.
A complete list of essential services is available on the Government of Ontario's website.
We are slowly begin to open up parts of Mississauga; however, we must continue to practice physical distancing, washing our hands frequently. As details become available for Peel to move on to Phase 2 the Region and City will provide updates so everyone has up to date information. We must do this safely in order to keep our residents safe.
Thank you to everyone that is working during this pandemic - you are true heroes.
