Whereas on January 17 th , 2022 the City of Mississauga experienced an extreme winter storm event that left 45cm of heavy snow with significant impact to our City streets and neighbourhoods. Whereas the current City of Mississauga Winter Maintenance Service Levels are not prepared for an extreme storm event such as the one impacting the City of Mississauga on January 17 th 2022.
