Click here for more pictures On behalf of the City of Mississauga and the residents of Malton, I want to extend a sincere thank you to the Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) Team Up Foundation and Rona Inc for making a $54,000 donation to the refurbishment of the Malton Arena. This money will go a long way to revitalizing the Malton Arena, a landmark facility in the community. In September, I joined members of the community to form the Malton Shinny Hockey Program. Our goal was to get children in Malton playing hockey at the Malton Arena again. It has been close to 10 years since this has happened. It is my hope that these renovations, along with the Shinny Program, will lead to a renewed interest in hockey in Malton. On February 13th, I joined Mayor McCallion, Michael Cosentino of MLSE, Michael Bartlet, Executive Director of the Team Up Foundation and Bill Graham of Rona Mississauga for the official board cutting ceremony to mark the investment. Following the ceremonies, the community was invited to watch the Toronto Marlies practice. It was a great evening and I am so pleased that so many in the community were able to join us.

Mississauga Steelheads visit Malton Arena

On Sunday, February 10th, three Mississauga Steelheads players, Damian Bourne, Josh Burnside and Thomas Welsh visited the Malton Arena to practice with the players of the Malton Shinny Hockey Program. It was a great afternoon as the players taught the kids about hockey and worked them through a number of hockey drills. Following the practice, the players signed autographs and Click here for more pictures Steelheads hockey tickets were raffled off. On behalf the Malton Shinny Hockey Program, I want to extend a sincere thank you to the Mississauga Steelheads and these three players for donating their time and skills to this program. If you have not already done so, take some time to watch a Steelheads game. They play at the Hershey Centre and the tickets are very reasonably priced.

Second Units Public Meeting, February 25th

2/18/13
On Monday, February 25th, a public meeting will be held on the City's proposals with respect to second units (also known as basement apartments or in-law suites). Last year, the City undertook a series of public consultations, including one in Malton, to seek feedback from residents on the proposed changes to the City's Official Plan to allow second units. At present, second units are only permitted if they were built before 1995. The upcoming public meeting on February 25th will take place in the City Council Chambers at City Hall, 300 City Centre Drive. The purpose of the meeting is to allow the City to present its proposals; to obtain comments and feedback from residents about the proposals; and to answer questions and provide information to residents. If you have questions, comments or concerns about second units in Mississauga, this is your chance to voice them. For more information, visit www.mississauga.ca/portal/residents/housingchoices

St. John's Ambulance Car Seat Clinics

When driving with an infant or a toddler, it is very important for their safety that they are properly secured in a car seat. Too often car seats are not properly installed, which can lead to serious injury in the event of an accident. The installation manuals can be difficult to read, which is why St. John's Ambulance offers free car seat installation clinics. In Ward 5 they will be offering two. Here are the details: 1. Saturday, Feburary 23rd from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm at Station 105 (7101 Goreway Drive)
