Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie is set to make an announcement on Thursday afternoon amid growing speculation over the future of Peel Region.
The topic of the news conference is not immediately clear, with officials in Crombie’s office only saying that it is being held to “provide an update on Mississauga.”Premier Doug Ford told reporters that he is “for an independent Mississauga.”
Ford also said last week that an announcement on the future of the cities that make up Peel Region was coming “very, very soon.” In November, the Ford government appointed facilitators to assess the regional governments in Durham, Halton, Niagara, Peel, Waterloo and York and determine “the best mix of roles and responsibilities between the upper and lower-tier municipalities in those regions.”
“I've always been for an independent Mississauga. You can't have a city the size of Mississauga, close to 800,000 people and it's continuing to grow, being tied into other jurisdictions,” Ford said Monday. “So we're going to continue supporting Mississauga. My job is to make sure the people in Mississauga get the best services that they have and that we continue to enhance the services.
Crombie has long called for Mississauga’s separation from Peel Region and has suggested such a move would save taxpayers $1 billion over the next decade.
