Environment | August 18, 2024
Update as of August 18 at 10 a.m.
Mississauga experienced heavy rain yesterday, which caused localized flooding, traffic disruptions, dangerous road conditions and closures to some City parks and trails. The majority of flooding has now receded; however, there are still wet conditions in some areas of the city.
Additional rainfall is expected later this morning or afternoon.
A rainfall warning remains in effect for Mississauga throughout the course of the day.
City and Regional crews, along with Police Regional Police and Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services were able to clear water from all roads.
There are currently no road closures at this time.
All City parks are open for use. Permitted picnics are proceeding, except permits in parks where there continue to be flooding impacts (picnic areas in close proximity to creeks). Call 311 to confirm.
At this time all spray pads, playgrounds and leash-free zones are open for use.
Residents are reminded to take precautions when using these areas and to stay away from any parks that are near rivers, creeks or stormwater ponds.
Residents are asked to take precautions in flooded areas and respect all posted signs and barricades that have been put up for safety reasons. Residents are asked to use caution in all parks and trails, creeks, rivers or watersheds.
All City sports fields remained closed until Monday, August 19. The City’s Park staff are out assessing the damage from the recent rain and will reopen fields when they are safe to play on again.
While the rain yesterday caused delays on several MiWay routes, all buses are back to normal operations and are running to schedule. While there is rain in the forecast today, MiWay riders are reminded to check MiWay.ca for service updates and delays.
Remember to monitor Environment Canada for weather warnings and watches in Mississauga. Avoid dialling 911 unless you’re in immediate danger or require assistance with rescue or evacuation.
