In Mississauga, drivers could face a $150 fine for this action during the winter

**Mississauga Residents Could Face $150 Fines for Street Parking During Snowfalls**

Starting this winter, Mississauga residents who leave their vehicles parked on the street during heavy snowfalls could be fined $150, following a recent decision by city council to implement stricter snow-clearing regulations.

The move is part of an updated strategy aimed at addressing the growing issue of parked cars obstructing snowplows during and after major snow events. City officials say the number of vehicles left on the streets in past winters has made it increasingly difficult for maintenance crews to effectively clear the roads.

The issue is gaining urgency as Mississauga plans to roll out a city-wide windrow-clearing program in the coming months. This service, which targets the dense ridges of snow and ice left behind by plows, will cover approximately 134,000 residential driveways. Officials emphasize that for the program to be effective, roadways must remain clear of parked vehicles.

Historically, Mississauga had few winter parking restrictions. But after reviewing policies in more than a dozen other southern Ontario municipalities — including Toronto, Hamilton, Burlington, Brampton, and Ottawa — city staff found that all had implemented winter parking rules and fines ranging from $30 to $150 during declared snow events. In contrast, Mississauga had none.

"On-street parking creates serious challenges for winter road maintenance, especially when plowing is needed after five centimetres or more of snow," said Sam Rogers, Commissioner of Transportation and Works. "Large snow-clearing equipment often can't safely navigate around parked cars. In many areas, the space between parked vehicles is too narrow for plows to pass through, leading to safety risks, inefficiencies, added costs, and delays."

Rogers added that the new windrow-clearing service heightens the need for clear streets and driveway access. Vehicles parked too close to driveways or on lower driveway boulevards can prevent the service from being delivered.

While only vehicles left on the street during snowfalls will be fined, cars parked in driveways that obstruct plows or equipment may lead to skipped snow clearing in those areas, including windrow and sidewalk services.

Mississauga Man Charged After Passenger Dies Falling Overboard on Illegal Boat Charter

A man from Mississauga is facing charges after a passenger died during an illegal boat cruise in Toronto, according to police.

The incident occurred on the afternoon of August 23, when emergency responders were called to a marine rescue in Lake Ontario near the Toronto Islands, the Toronto Police Service reported.

Investigators say a boat named *Slow Motion* was operating as an unlicensed charter with 16 passengers on board when one person fell into the water.

The victim was later found dead.

Police identified the operator of the boat as a 35-year-old Mississauga man who did not have the required commercial license or registration to run a boat charter. He was the only crew member present during the incident.

Nasme Saqqa, 35, of Mississauga, has now been charged with criminal negligence causing death. He is scheduled to appear in court in Toronto on Wednesday.

In a statement, Toronto police reminded the public that when booking a commercial boat charter, the vessel must be registered for commercial use, and not as a recreational craft. The operator must also have a valid commercial license, along with proper insurance and registration.

The investigation remains ongoing. Police are asking anyone with information about the boat or who may have hired it for private use to come forward.

Anyone with details is urged to contact police at 416-808-1400. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at [www.ontariocrimestoppers.ca](http://www.ontariocrimestoppers.ca). Tipsters remain anonymous, are not required to testify, and may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000.

Toronto faces New York in playoff baseball—catch the action at Celebration Square in Mississauga

**Blue Jays Playoff Hype Hits Mississauga Tuesday Night**

Baseball excitement — especially for Blue Jays fans — will be front and center Tuesday night in downtown Mississauga.

Hundreds of enthusiastic (and likely anxious) fans are expected to pack Celebration Square to watch Game 3 of the American League Division Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees. The action on the big outdoor screens starts with the first pitch just after 8 p.m.

Toronto heads into the game with a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series after dominating wins at home — 10-1 and 13-7. Now in New York, they’ll aim to finish off the sweep tonight in the Bronx.

A trip to the American League Championship Series is on the line, with the winner facing either the Detroit Tigers or Seattle Mariners. That series is currently tied 1-1, with Game 3 happening earlier on Tuesday.

Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish has declared Celebration Square as “The Birds’ Nest” for the night. On social media, she announced that the city had secured the rights to broadcast the playoff games, encouraging residents to gather and show their support. “Celebration Square will be renamed The Birds’ Nest October 7 at 8 p.m. Full screens will light up with action. Join me and hundreds of residents to cheer the Jays’ wipeout of the Yankees!” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

While the daytime forecast calls for rain and possible thunderstorms, Environment and Climate Change Canada expects the skies to clear by game time. The evening outlook for Mississauga includes mostly cloudy conditions with just a 10% chance of rain.

If the Jays win, it would mark their first postseason series victory in nearly 10 years. They last reached the ALCS in 2015 and 2016 but were eliminated both times.

A Yankees win would force a Game 4 on Wednesday in New York. If a deciding Game 5 is needed, it’ll happen Friday in Toronto.

Taking the mound for the Blue Jays is 30-year-old Shane Bieber, a former Cy Young Award winner who was picked up from Cleveland at the trade deadline. The Yankees will counter with hard-throwing left-hander Carlos Rodon, who’s hoping to keep New York’s playoff hopes alive.

Mississauga Crime Ring Dismantled After 54 Thefts and $85,000 in Stolen Liquor

Four Mississauga Residents Arrested in $85,000 Liquor Theft Ring Targeting LCBO and Other Retailers

Four individuals from Mississauga have been arrested following an investigation into a criminal network accused of stealing over $85,000 worth of liquor from LCBO stores, along with merchandise from Home Depot, Dollarama, Value Village, and Metro.

According to Halton Regional Police, the investigation began in August in collaboration with the LCBO’s Resource Protection Unit. Over a two-month period, police identified four suspects believed to be behind 54 separate thefts dating back to May 2025.

“The group is suspected of committing a series of liquor thefts valued at more than $85,000, in addition to stealing from several other retail chains,” police said, noting that locations across the Greater Toronto Area were affected.

On October 1, officers arrested the four suspects in Oakville during a vehicle stop that also resulted in the seizure of co***ne and other narcotics.

Police say all four individuals were already subject to judicial release orders related to previous theft charges. They have since been held for bail hearings and face multiple charges.

Charged Individuals:

Christopher Noel, 39, faces the following charges:

Three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking

Theft over $5,000

Theft under $5,000

Failure to comply with a release order

Possession of property obtained by crime

Two counts of failure to comply with probation
Police note Noel was under eight separate release orders at the time of arrest.

Crystal King, 40, is charged with:

Three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking

Theft under $5,000

Possession of property obtained by crime

Philip Young, 48, is charged with:

Three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking

Theft under $5,000

Possession of property obtained by crime

Two counts of failure to comply with probation

Marc Martiniello, 33, is charged with:

Three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking

Police emphasized the broader impact of organized retail crime, stating:
"The theft of goods from retail stores affects all Ontarians through increased costs and decreased safety in retail spaces. Organized retail theft poses serious risks to both employees and shoppers alike."

Anyone with information about the illegal sale of stolen merchandise is urged to contact the Halton Police Retail Crime Unit at 905-825-4747.

Anonymous tips can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.haltoncrimestoppers.ca.

For the foreseeable future, all baby deliveries in Mississauga will take place at a single hospital

Expecting a Baby in Mississauga? Hospital Options Are Changing Soon

Starting October 8, all childbirths and inpatient services for women and children in Mississauga will be consolidated at Credit Valley Hospital. Until then, Mississauga Hospital will continue to deliver babies as usual.

This shift is due to major construction at Mississauga Hospital, located at Queensway and Hurontario. In preparation, Credit Valley Hospital, at Erin Mills Parkway and Eglinton Avenue West, has been renovated to accommodate the increase in patients and services.

According to Trillium Health Partners, which oversees both hospitals, the goal is to streamline care, improve the patient experience, and better manage rising demand in the community.

“If you're 40 or older and grew up in Mississauga, chances are you were born at Mississauga Hospital,” which opened in 1958. Credit Valley began sharing maternity services in 1985. Today, both hospitals are part of Trillium Health Partners, along with the former Queensway Hospital in Etobicoke.

Currently, Trillium manages about 8,000 births annually, and that number is expected to reach 10,000—one of the highest birth rates in the country.

Looking ahead, once the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children is completed at the Mississauga Hospital site—expected to take up to ten years—all birthing services will return there. The site is being expanded into one of Canada’s largest healthcare facilities.

In the meantime, emergency care will continue at both hospitals. If a patient comes to the Mississauga Hospital ER but needs specialized care from an obstetrician, gynecologist, or pediatrician at Credit Valley, safe transfers will be arranged to ensure timely, appropriate treatment.

Some services will remain at or near Mississauga Hospital, including paediatric clinics, the Family Care Centre, and Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Services. A complete list of outpatient clinics is available online.

Potential fireworks ban sparks controversy in Mississauga

Around two dozen residents, business owners, and representatives from various Hindu organizations will present their arguments on Wednesday morning at city hall, as Mississauga debates implementing a complete ban on fireworks starting next year.

Among the 25 scheduled speakers at the City of Mississauga’s general committee meeting are members of the Coalition of Hindus of North America, the Canadian Organization for Hindu Heritage Education, the Hindu Canadian Foundation, the Canadian National Council of Hindus, and the Hindu Heritage Centre.

Additionally, the city has received 16 emails from residents wishing to voice their opinions on the contentious fireworks issue. These submissions show a nearly even split between those in favor of a full ban and those opposing it.

Currently, under Mississauga’s fireworks regulations, Diwali—the Hindu festival of lights—is one of five designated holidays when residents can legally set off backyard fireworks without needing a city permit.

If approved, the full ban would come into effect on January 2, 2026.

Mississauga is considering a complete prohibition on fireworks in response to a sharp rise in public complaints and difficulties enforcing the existing bylaw. Public safety concerns are also a major factor highlighted in a report from senior city staff scheduled for discussion among councillors on Wednesday morning.

The report, prepared by Raj Sheth, Mississauga’s Commissioner of Community Services, recommends banning fireworks entirely rather than tightening regulations on their use.

Staff propose that councillors “approve a full prohibition on the sale, distribution, possession, and use of consumer fireworks within Mississauga.”

When the issue was last discussed in May, councillors requested further study and clearer guidance.

Council had previously agreed in November to reconsider the city’s fireworks bylaw due to a noticeable increase in complaints over recent years.

Fireworks-related complaints reached 602 in 2024, up from 533 in 2023, and just 180 in 2022, according to city data.

Enforcement challenges under the relatively new and somewhat lenient fireworks bylaw—which came into effect in October 2023—along with safety concerns, have driven officials to re-examine the rules around fireworks use and sales.

Under the current bylaw, residents may set off fireworks in their backyards on New Year’s Eve/Day, Victoria Day, Lunar New Year, Canada Day, and Diwali without needing a city permit.

City staff noted that among 10 nearby municipalities reviewed, three—Brampton, Caledon, and Milton—already have full bans on both the use and sale of fireworks. These bans were put in place primarily due to public safety, air pollution, and complaint issues.

Other municipalities such as Markham, Kitchener, and Oakville are currently reviewing their fireworks regulations, suggesting changes may be forthcoming.

Meanwhile, Toronto, Ottawa, Burlington, and Hamilton have stricter rules than Mississauga, only permitting fireworks without permits on Canada Day and Victoria Day.

In his report, Sheth pointed out that if Mississauga does not act, it risks becoming an outlier compared to neighboring cities that have banned or are moving toward banning fireworks.

He warned that without a ban, Mississauga might become a “regional hub for fireworks,” attracting more usage that would increase enforcement burdens, heighten safety risks, and cause unnecessary disturbances to neighborhoods.

The report concludes that a complete ban would be the most effective and sustainable approach to enhance public safety, ensure consistent enforcement, and align Mississauga with surrounding municipalities.

“This strategy will stop the city from becoming a regional hotspot for fireworks, offer residents one straightforward rule that’s easy to follow, and is expected to lower safety hazards, ease enforcement demands, and reduce long-term expenses—all while promoting safer alternatives for celebrations.”

Additionally, staff recommend raising fines and penalties for violations as part of the ban proposal.

Speed camera in Mississauga has been knocked down nine times over the past two months

**Speed Cameras in Mississauga Continue to Face Vandalism, Despite Provincial Ban Proposal**

Automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras in Mississauga are being repeatedly targeted by vandals—even as the Ontario government moves to outlaw the devices.

One camera on Mississauga Road, located between Highriver Court and Stonehouse Crescent near a school, has been knocked down nine times over the past two months, according to a City of Mississauga spokesperson. The device has been in operation since June 2025, as shown on the city's Automated Enforcement Map.

The repeated acts of vandalism have sparked discussion among residents on Reddit.

As with previous incidents, the vendor responsible for the devices will handle repairs at no additional cost to the city, the spokesperson said. The city emphasized that all maintenance and repair costs fall under the vendor's responsibility.

Vandalism of ASE cameras isn’t new in Mississauga. Other units, including those near Darcel Avenue Senior Public School and Mentor College on Forest Avenue in Port Credit, were also damaged—some as far back as 2022.

“Unfortunately, vandalism is a frequent issue affecting many city services,” the spokesperson noted. “ASE cameras are often subjected to graffiti and other forms of damage. We urge residents to call 311 to report any incidents so they can be addressed promptly.”

Despite the vandalism, the city reports that the Mississauga Road camera has significantly improved road safety. Since enforcement began, the average speed on the road has dropped by 15 km/h, and compliance with the posted speed limit has increased by 62 percent.

Mississauga isn't alone. In Toronto, a speed camera on Parkside Drive has been cut down at least seven times in recent months.

The debate over speed cameras has gained renewed attention after Premier Doug Ford announced plans to introduce legislation to ban them in Ontario—a move that has drawn criticism from some local politicians.
