If you've walked in our neighbourhood park or walkways, you no doubt noticed paint peeling from our beautiful pergolas. Over the years, the LPWRA has been working with the City of Mississauga to have these repainted. In spite of our repeated efforts to have them re-painted they continue to peel. We wanted to assure you that we have been communicating with city staff on getting them cleaned up and wanted to provide you with an update.
City staff determined that since the pergolas are made of galvanized metal, they did not allow the paint to adhere well. The city is currently investigating on how to best deal with the pergolas going forward. They will contact us with their plan and we will keep you informed.
UPDATE (July 31, 2017): The city has secured a contractor to complete painting on all the pergolas in the park and walkways in Watercolours. Work is tentatively scheduled to begin mid-August.

The European Gypsy Moth is a pest found throughout North America. The caterpillar eats the leaves of trees which may damage the overall health of the tree. Gypsy Moth populations have been in the City of Mississauga for many decades.
The City is now inspecting and choosing City-owned Oak trees to do Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to help manage the Gypsy Moth population in the City. IPM combines biological, physical, and chemical tools in a way that minimizes risks to health and the environment. IPM does not eradicate a particular pest entirely. Rather, it keeps pest population at a manageable level so they do not cause significant damage to trees and the tree canopy
Things you can do on your own trees:
- Install burlap wraps around tree trunks, and collect and destroying caterpillars (May-September)
- Scraping off and destroying egg masses (until mid- May; August - April)
- Using pheromone traps to capture and confuse male moths (June to August)
These steps have proven very effective in controlling Gypsy Moth. A few weeks ago, Forestry held an open house for Ward 2 residents to provide them information on how to treat Gypsy Moth. All attendees received a free moth trap. To learn more about Gypsy Moth, visit Mississauga.ca/urbanforestry.

An application will be presented for the land (701 & 805 Winston Churchill Boulevard) that was formerly approved for the natural gas pwer generating station. The application is proposing to remove permissions for the previously approved plans.
A Public Meeting will be taking place on Monday April 11, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. at the Civic Centre Council Chambers, 300 City Centre Drive. The purpose of the meeting is to have the applicant present their proposal to both members of the public and Council. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the land for employment uses along Winston Churchill Blvd. and industrial uses internal to the site which I believe is in keeping with similar type of land uses in the area.
