Modern Mississauga and the City of Mississauga have come together to present an ongoing series called “Ask the City.” We’ll share relevant information here and answer your questions about our city.
Today’s question is about City-issued fines due to non-compliance with COVID-19 emergency orders.

I heard that City is issuing fines due to COVID-19. Are you able to provide more details?

City Security Officers are actively patrolling Mississauga parks to enforce emergency orders to limit gatherings and promote physical distancing.

Park playgrounds, outdoor fitness equipment, courts, leash-free zones, picnic shelters, skateboard parks and parking lots are closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Those who don’t comply will receive a fine of $750. Vehicles parked in lots will be ticketed and towed.

City parks and trails are accessible for public use; however, people out getting fresh air in small groups of no more than five household members are reminded and advised of the need to practice physical distancing. That means remaining approximately 2 metres (6 feet) apart.

For questions or more information, please call 3-1-1 or 905-615-4311 (outside City limits), 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday or visit mississauga.ca/coronavirus.

If you’ve got a question about the City, we want to hear from you!
