🚧 Peel Region Construction Notice 🚧
Peel Region has been working in Lorne Park to replace the watermain along South Sheridan Way and crossing the QEW. This work is required to maintain and improve existing water services. At this stage of the project, a lane closure will be required to complete this work.

🔸 Traffic Impact: 🔸
Starting April 28, 2025, South Sheridan Way between Southdown Rd. and Clarkson Rd. North will be reduced to a single lane, eastbound only. Westbound traffic will follow a detour route. Lane reductions will last until the end of June 2025.

During this time, westbound traffic will be directed along a detour route, which is shown in the above map. This work was not completed during the previous road closure due to concerns with the existing water main location. Design changes were made for the new water main, which required updated approvals and permits.

⚠️ Stay Safe ⚠️
Please slow down and follow all construction signage to ensure the safety of everyone in the work zone. For tips on navigating construction zones, visit peeiregion.ca/workzonesafety.

In case you missed the postcard that was sent to you in the mail, we're sharing information about a federal government initiative aimed at raising awareness about the risks associated with Radon Gas.

The only way to know the levels of Radon (an invisible and odourless gas) is to test for it. The testing device monitors your home for 3-12 months.

Below are a series of links we've compiled to provide you with additional information.

Ice Rink

We have some exciting news! Our Palette Park ice rink, located in the heart of Watercolours, is ready to welcome skaters for the first time since 2022! The Polar Vortex has brought with it some much-needed cold, the perfect temperatures for ice making.

Our rink is open to everyone of all ages and skill levels for all ice-related activities, as long as the GREEN sign is posted. This is a naturalized ice rink meaning there is no refrigeration and no Zamboni to keep the ice smooth. Natural bumps and uneven surfaces are normal and conditions will vary based on weather Please use caution when using the rink. Helmets are also highly recommended.

If the RED sign is posted, the ice is undergoing maintenance and is not suitable for skating. Please stay off the ice if the "Do Not Skate” sign is posted or if you think the ice poses a risk due to surface damage.

Please be respectful and welcoming to all who come to skate. Please be thoughtful and share the rink space with neighbours of all skill levels and sports.

Hockey Players: Please consider bringing a shovel to help clear the ice of snow once you’re done and kindly remove the hockey net from the ice rink surface once your game is complete.

Nightly ice maintenance and floods will occur around 10:00 pm although hours may vary between 9:30-11:00 pm. The rink closes at 11:00 pm every night.

Watercolours has a small but mighty team of rink volunteers who are in charge of floods and ongoing ice maintenance. A huge thank you to our rink volunteers!! It’s a lot of hard work, and we can’t wait for you to come by for a skate.

If you or anyone you know is a high school student in need of Community Hours, please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you’d like to join our team of ice-clearing volunteers.

Happy Skating everyone!!

We're sharing some Safety Tips courtesy of Safe City Mississauga, who manage the Neighbourhood Watch Program that Lorne Park Watercolours participates in.

Avoid Package Theft This Winter

Snowy months can mean more online shopping for convenience, but unattended packages can be easy targets for thieves. Here’s how to keep your deliveries safe:

Use a Secure Delivery Option: Request packages be delivered to a back door, side door, or a secure location out of sight from the street.
Opt for Pick-Up: Use parcel lockers or request packages be sent to a nearby pick-up location for added security.
Install a Video Doorbell: A visible doorbell camera can deter thieves and provide evidence in case of theft.
Coordinate with Neighbours: If you’re away, ask a trusted neighbour to collect packages promptly.
Track Deliveries: Use tracking apps to monitor delivery times and bring packages inside as soon as possible.

By taking these proactive steps, you can protect your deliveries and deter porch thieves this winter.

Deter Criminal Activity with Clear Walkways and Driveways

Snow and ice can be more than just a hazard to your footing—they can also signal to criminals that a home is unoccupied. A neglected, snowy driveway or walkway can suggest that no one is home, making your property a more likely target for criminal activity.

What can you do?

Keep walkways and driveways clear of snow and ice to give the impression that someone is actively caring for the property.
Regularly shovel or salt your driveway and pathways to avoid creating a potential target for crime.
Ensure that your home is well-lit at night, especially along walkways, to discourage criminals from approaching.
A clear, maintained property shows that someone is present and vigilant, making it less attractive to those with bad intentions.

By staying on top of snow and ice removal, you can make your home less inviting to criminals and protect your property this winter.
