Thank you, Jim, for the kind introduction [Jim Molyneux MNP]. And thank you to the Mississauga Board of Trade for organizing this opportunity to deliver my inaugural State of the City Address. MBOT holds an important place in our community, representing nearly 1,500 businesses from Port Credit to Churchill Meadows; from Cooksville to Streetsville; from Meadowvale to Malton; and all neighbourhoods in between. The leadership of MBOT are respected partners called upon by Council to develop solutions for Mississauga. Together, we work to achieve our common goals to attract foreign-direct investment and help aspiring entrepreneurs, along with established businesses, to achieve unrivaled success right here in Mississauga! I would like to acknowledge Sheldon Leiba, for his many years of leadership. And I wish to reiterate my congratulations to David Wojcik as he takes the helm of MBOT. It is never easy filling big shoes. Trust me, David! All of Council looks forward to working closely with you, Chair Jeffrey Percival, and your entire team. Today, we gather on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the New Credit, a Mississauga Objibwa First Nation with a history dating back centuries ago. It is only fitting that our City’s motto reads: “ Pride in our past, Faith in our future.” And it is the genuine appreciation, understanding, and pride that we have in our past; which gives us the confidence to have faith in our future; and to overcome challenges before us.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is an integrated system for moving people by bus using dedicated road rights-of-way, called busways, for the operation of bus services. To maximize flexibility and reduce the need for transfers, stations are placed at key points along the busway where passengers can connect to other modes of travel (e.g. cycling, local bus, etc). MISSISSAUGA’S BRT The BRT system will improve the quality of life for those living and working in Mississauga. The Mississauga BRT system was originally planned in the early 1990’s to respond to forecast travel demand within and through the City of Mississauga. The Mississauga BRT system is part of a Greater Toronto Area- wide GO Transit initiative to create a high-efficiency east-west busway which will span from Oakville to Pickering. Mississauga’s portion of this BRT system will cover approximately 18 kilometres The City Centre Transit Terminal and the Highway 403 Bus Bypass Shoulders were built in the 1990’s as part of the BRT program.

Metrolinx is championing long-term transportation and transit solutions that enhance prosperity, sustainability, and quality of life. Currently there are more than 200 projects underway across the region. More than $16 billion in investment has been made and construction is under way on our First Wave of projects, helping to realize the Big Move vision. More is yet to come. At our recent Board of Directors meeting, updates were provided on the following projects. GO Regional Express Rail Metrolinx is working with the Government of Ontario to bring faster, more reliable service to the GO network, a 10-year program that will provide significant new travel choices across the GTHA. With 63 existing stations and 7 stations currently planned or under construction, the GO Train network is the backbone of our regional transit network. More GO rail service will mean all-day electrified service every 15-minutes or better in both directions through core areas and running four times the number of off- peak trips including evenings and weekends with a mix of all-stop and express service to meet demand and reduce travel times.
