MiWay 2021–2024 Business Plan & 2021 Budget Foreword Our Vision for the Future Mississauga will inspire the world as a dynamic and beautiful global city for creativity and innovation, with vibrant, safe and connected communities; where we celebrate the rich diversity of our cultures, historic villages, Lake Ontario and the Credit River Valley. A place where people choose to be. Mississauga City Council approved Our Future Mississauga; a Strategic Plan to achieve this vision over a 40-year timeframe. The City engaged over 100,000 people to develop this Vision Statement. To achieve this vision the City has identified five Strategic Pillars for Change: move, belong, connect, prosper, and green. Each year the City proposes various initiatives that are aligned with the Strategic Pillars and are intended to bring us closer to fulfilling our vision for the future. The City delivers over 300 services which are consolidated into 16 Service Areas (including the Stormwater Program) that are outlined in this Plan. The 2021-2024 Business Plan and 2021 Budget document details how and where the City plans to allocate resources to deliver programs and services. The City is committed to providing programs and services cost effectively. In this Plan we have outlined measures that will help assess the quality, efficiency and customer satisfaction that our services achieve. The results help inform decisions on resource allocations and direct program offerings, and improve service delivery to ensure our vision is efficiently realized.
