“It is remarkable to see how much technology has transformed the way we do business as a city,” said Shawn Slack, Director, Information Technology and Chief Information Officer. “Events such as the upcoming Code and the City open data hackathon and mobile applications such as MiWay Trip Planner, Mississauga Roads App and Pingstreet help demonstrate the City’s ongoing commitment to connect with our residents online to make services more convenient and efficient.”
