Watercolours residents have expressed a serious safety concern regarding the routine shortcut that teens have been making across the train tracks which poses a serious safety risk to them. The area in question is at the southwest end of the community. Recently LPWRA Executive Committee members met with officials from the City and the CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) committee. The purpose of this meeting was to follow up on the CPTED's recommendations as they too are concerned that with the speed of the trains on 3 tracks someone is going to get seriously injured or killed.
When the LPWRA approached the CPTED to draw attention to this issue, they concluded that the illegal crossing was a significant risk.
As a result, we are pleased to announce that despite CN & CP refusing to share costs the City has agreed to implement all of CPTED's recommendations. The City has committed to the following:

We are pleased to introduce you to a brand new website to mark the beginning of our 6th year as an association. This new site brings with it some new features and more are on the way. Besides the fresh look we will be rolling out the return of our forum/bulletin designed to spark some great conversations amongst our members. We also have a photo gallery of past events waiting in the wings and will continue to add more sections exclusively for members.
One significant aspect to this site as compared to our previous ones over the years is the introduction of a user account/login feature. This user account is tied to your membership status and will allow you to manage your own profile (on a household basis as opposed to individual). The profile will contain your contact information, forum postings and association event registrations among details. As as long as your membership remains active, you will continue to have access the member only section of our site and be permitted to participate in member events, discounts and promotions.

As a result of the reported sightings of coyotes and the unfortunate loss of pets in our community, the City of Mississauga will be posting warning signs at the pond.
Foxes and coyotes are a necessary and important part of our City's ecosystem. In the last few years a mange pandemic has drastically reduced coyote and fox populations throughout Ontario and as a result rodent and rabbit populations have increased dramatically.Recently, however, sightings of both foxes and coyotes have increased in Mississauga which indicates that they are making their natural comeback. As winter approaches natural prey such as mice and rabbits become scarce which means both coyotes and foxes must increase their hunting activity. Although, coyotes or foxes do not normally pose a risk to humans, coyotes will attack or prey upon unattended, unleashed or outdoor pets.
