The Credit River has a long history in the lands now occupied by the City of Mississauga. Early on the River provided a constant source of food, water and transportation that influenced the founding of Port Credit, Erindale, Streetsville and Meadowvale. Today, the 27 kilometres of river that flows through the City divides Mississauga east to west, is home to thousands of animals and plants and is a natural wonder amidst our great City.

With over 1500 acres of parkland along the river, the area has the potential "green" infrastructure to support a strong natural heritage system, all-season recreation, leisure, education and relaxation activities. City staff and consultants are working together to understand the opportunities for the land in order to develop a strategy that will align current City initiatives with the preservation and enhancement of the Credit River parklands.

The Credit River Parks Strategy will provide a plan to emphasize on the Credit River - to foster awareness and action around its conservation and offer all-season activities.

Credit River Parks Strategy Workshop

The Credit River Parks Strategy is being developed through extensive engagement with city departments, external agencies and community organizations.

Over 100 residents came out to our first Open House, providing valuable insight and ideas to our consultants. For details see the overview presentation below and results of our community survey.
