One Million Trees Plan

-
In the 2014 election Tim Hudak’s platform was called the million jobs plan. That plan gained a lot of publicity but has anyone ever heard of Mississauga’s million trees plan. That’s right, Trees! Currently, Mississauga has 2.1 million trees on public and private land with the goal of adding 1 million trees within a span of 20 years.

The trees will be planted with the help of city staff, volunteers, students, and businesses all throughout Mississauga.  The city of Mississauga has many tree planting events set-up on their site in various neighbourhoods. If you don’t see one that is close to you, well then Mississauga has offered a plan to create your own tree planting event which you can help organize.

Over the past year, there have been just over 100 000 trees planted and are on pace to reaching their goal of 1 million trees planted well before 20 years. The top planters from each category include:

Large Organization: City of Mississauga - 46349
Small Organization: Credit River Anglers Association - 10324
School: St. Marcellinus Secondary School - 978
Business: Target - 788
Individual: Barbara Maj – 28

With that huge storm that ripped though that GTA this past winter and destroyed numerous amounts of trees; this program will help to re-establish a greener Mississauga like it once was.

With the new mortgage rule at hand, Canada’s Real Estate Market will bring new challenges and opportunities for the year 2018. Here are 5 Key Facts that you need to know. 1) More local than ever To begin with, there's no such thing as a Canadian real estate market. What happens in Toronto and Vancouver’s booming housing market is quite different from that in, say, recovering areas such as Calgary and Edmonton. The momentum for each month in national home sales activity gained strength late last year, and further expected economic and job growth will boost sales activity this year despite the rising interest rate.  According to  Canadian Real Estate Association  President Andrew Peck said, "Even so, momentum for home sales differs depending on location and type." "While activity remained below year-ago levels in the GTA, the decline there was more than offset by some sizable year-over-year gains in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Vancouver Is...

The Toronto Condo Market is only getting Stronger!

This year is dubbed "the year of the condo" by real estate agents across Canada, because of the strong performance in the country's major housing markets. The condo phenomenon is something that is happening all over North America. The performance of the GTA's top-tier condominium market eclipsed that of other major Canadian markets in both sales volume and percentage gains in 2017. Sales of $1-million-plus condominiums were up 59 per cent year-over-year within the region, with luxury sales over $4 million up 91 per cent over the previous year. In the City of Toronto, condo sales volumes in the $4 million-plus range rose 82 per cent and those in the $1-million-plus category were up 35 per cent year over year.

If you've lived in Mississauga your entire life then you have certainly seen some major changes. Get ready for some more as Square one goes under more developments in time for 2015. The southwest expansion will see the addition of many stores with a Holt Renfrew department store opening its doors in 2016. Holt Renfrew along with many others will help serve the needs of an ever growing Mississauga population, particularly in the downtown core. The rise of condo's in the center of Mississauga, coupled with the new Sheridan college campus which sees an influx of students, will see down-town Mississauga as the place to be. The square one addition has recently completed construction of their food court, and with major cinemas, Go Transit hubs, and Playdium Mississauga makes it just another enticing addition for shopaholics.
