Bus Rapid Transit Service Breaks Ground in Mississauga
No. H0xx/10 For release August 20, 2010 BUS RAPID TRANSIT SERVICE BREAKS GROUND IN MISSISSAUGA MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO — Bob Dechert, Member of Parliament, Mississauga-Erindale, the Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Ontario’s Transportation Minister, Her Worship Hazel McCallion, Mayor of Mississauga and Gary McNeil, GO Transit Managing Director participated in a groundbreaking ceremony today to mark the start of construction of the Mississauga Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor. This project, which is expected to be completed in spring 2013, will improve local and inter-regional bus operations across the City of Mississauga. It involves constructing an 11-kilometre east-west busway across the City of Mississauga between Winston Churchill Boulevard and Renforth Drive in the City of Toronto and a total of 12 stations along the route with related commuter facilities. “Investments in public transit creates jobs and boosts the Canadian economy,” said MP Dechert. “This rapid transit system will provide commuters in Mississauga with a more efficient transit option, while cutting commute times and taking more cars off the road.” “This is great news for Mississauga residents,” said Ontario Transportation Minister Kathleen Wynne. “When the new bus rapid transit line is finished, more commuters will be able to leave their cars at home and take public transit. Investing in public transit is part of the McGuinty government’s Open Ontario plan. Better public transit means a better quality of life for Ontario families.” (TBC) “We are doing everything we can to make Mississauga a transit-oriented city and show our commitment to ensure we meet the needs of residents and businesses,” said Mayor Hazel McCallion.

Background In accordance with the City's 'Property and Facility Naming and Dedication' Corporate Policy 05- 02-02, the Community Services Department is directed to present names for Council’s consideration for the purposes of facilities, parks and trails in the City of Mississauga.

August 19, 2011 Her Worship Hazel McCallion, CM Mayor City of Mississauga 300 City Centre Drive 3rd Floor Mississauga, Ontario L5B 3C1 Dear Mayor McCallion: Thank you very much for the City of Mississauga’s 2011 provincial election questionnaire. I am pleased to provide you with the attached response, which outlines the Ontario Liberal Party’s position on these issues of key importance. Ontario Liberals are the only party with a positive plan to move Ontario forward. Together, we got through the recession the Ontario way: we protected education and health care, stood by workers in the hardest hit industries, and worked together to find new opportunities for our province and our families. Our strong leadership, experienced team and thoughtful long-term plan are getting results for Ontario families. Eight years ago, during the dark days of cuts and chaos, Ontario was moving backwards. Today, our schools are rated among the world’s best, our health care ranks first in Canada, and old jobs are coming back while new jobs are being created in emerging industries like advanced manufacturing and clean energy. Our plan is getting results and Ontario is turning the corner out of recession. Ontario is back on track. The Hudak PCs would take us off track and put our fragile recovery at risk with their reckless schemes. We need to keep moving forward, together. …/2 Ontario Liberal Party, 10 St. Mary St., Suite 210, Toronto, ON M4Y 1P9 Phone: (416) 961-3800, 1-800-268-7250 Fax: (416) 323-9425 E-Mail: [email protected] Web: www.ontarioliberal.com -2- Mayor McCallion, thank you for the opportunity to respond to the City of Mississauga’s questionnaire — and please accept my best wishes.

Tories' Ontario Tactics Perplexing to Pollsters
Tories' Ontario tactics perplexing to pollsters It's odd to pick fights with a province needed for majority, some say December 03, 2007 BRUCE CAMPION-SMITH OTTAWA BUREAU CHIEF OTTAWA-When Toronto-area mayors warned that funding woes were putting urban infrastructure at risk, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty slapped them down, telling them to stop "whining." When Premier Dalton McGuinty argued that Ontario deserved more seats in Ottawa, Conservative House Leader Peter Van Loan dismissed him as the "small man" of Confederation. And when two major reports raised the alarm about the desperate state of poverty in Toronto and the province, Human Resources Minister Monte Solberg rebutted the grim findings with his own "good news" - job creation is up and other statistics show poverty is on the decline. In the last few weeks, Toronto has seen a belligerent side of federal Conservatism, an unyielding approach that offers the barest of nods to local concerns. Not that Toronto, a Liberal bastion, has ever been a traditional stomping ground for the Conservatives. But with an election looking likely over the next year - and the fact that Prime Minister Stephen Harper must win seats in the 905 region if he aspires to a majority - it's no wonder the Tories' version of political trash talk has raised eyebrows. But more than that, it's raised hackles in a city and region where the Tories must score votes if they hope to be anything more than a minority government. Which raises the question - have the Conservatives given up on Toronto, perhaps even Ontario? "It seems to me they're putting more of their eggs in building up support in Quebec.

In the Matter of a Facilitation Between
Schedule A - Justice Adams Facilitation Report to the Region of Peel IN THE MATTER OF A FACILITATION BETWEEN: Her Worship Her Worship Mayor Hazel McCallion Mayor Marolyn Morrison Janice Baker, Acting City Manager Pat Moyle, Chief Administrative Officer City of Mississauga Town of Caledon Her Worship Chair Emil Kolb Mayor Susan Fennell Lorne McCool, City Manager Roger Maloney, Chief Administrative Officer City of Brampton Regional Municipality of Peel Pursuant to Terms of Reference as set out by the Honourable John Gerretsen, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing in a letter with attachment dated October 7, 2004. Conducted by The Honourable George W. Adams, Q.C. Held in Toronto on November 4 and 5, 2004 and December 2 and 3, 2004. Report I am pleased to report that the parties participated in intensive problem-solving talks over the course of four days. There was a thorough airing of concerns which revealed both significant differences and common interests. While at the outset of these talks, the differences appeared to be overwhelming the common interests, the good faith discussion which followed allows me to report that a substantial consensus may be forged around the ideas set out below. Of course, Minister Gerretsen may wish to confirm this assessment with the mayors following their discussion with the councillors of each area municipality. Representation This has been a difficult issue. Mississauga says it has a need for two more municipal wards to better balance area councillor representation and work load. As well, it understandably wishes to continue the tradition that its elected officials in each ward represent the tax payers of Mississauga at both the area and regional levels of municipal government.
