Mississauga council is asking the Ontario government to require the relocation of an above-ground pipeline valve compound near Dickson Road and Premium Way, citing safety concerns.

The request was among the motions approved at council’s May 13 meeting, according to the City of Mississauga’s council recap. Councillors also endorsed free sports equipment borrowing in parks and received an update on a major hospital construction project.

The pipeline motion calls on the province to require the compound to be moved. Council’s action is a request to Ontario, rather than an announcement that relocation has been approved.

Free sports equipment pilot

Council endorsed a one-year pilot that would put self-serve sports equipment lockers in parks across Mississauga. Residents will be able to use a mobile app to borrow equipment without paying.

The city says the program is intended to reduce the cost barriers that can keep residents from participating in physical activity. The lockers would provide equipment for residents to borrow rather than requiring them to bring their own.

Hospital construction update

Councillors received a construction update on The Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children, described by the city as one of Canada’s largest hospital projects.

The presentation addressed construction progress, management of traffic and noise, and what residents can expect as work continues. Those topics formed part of the update received by council, rather than a new project approval.

Climate and provincial advocacy

Council also approved a motion endorsing the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. The treaty calls for stopping new fossil fuel projects and moving toward cleaner energy.

The city links the endorsement to its work on climate change and protecting public health.

For advocacy meetings at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference, council endorsed priorities covering housing, transit, taxpayer fairness and food security.

City representatives will seek meetings with provincial ministers and opposition leaders to discuss funding and policy changes affecting residents.

Carassauga returns this month

Council heard a deputation from the Carassauga Festival of Cultures outlining the 2026 event and what residents can expect when it returns later in May.

The non-profit festival is run by volunteers and celebrates Mississauga’s cultural diversity. It has been held since 1986.
