On the agenda

As the city filed it

Given the passing of celebrated Ontario municipal leader Hazel McCallion, who built Mississauga as Mayor for 36 years from 1978 to 2014, I am asking Council to support this motion to move the Special Council Meeting concerning the Budget by one day, to February 15, 2023. On February 14, 2023 a state funeral will be held on the date of what would have been Hazel McCallion's 102 birthday. All flags across the province, including City Hall, will be lowered to half-mast and hundreds of mourners will gather in Mississauga to honour Hazel McCallion.

Hazel served the people of Mississauga with strength and incredible energy, and served as a mentor for many leaders in the province including on Toronto City Council. Her commitment to local government and to standing up for Mississauga and the Greater Toronto Area, was absolute. As Mississauga's longest-serving Mayor she didn't hesitate to get things done for her city, working closely with all municipalities nearby to deliver for Ontarians. Out of respect for her tremendous accomplishments and lifetime of service to Ontario I hope that Council will agree with this motion moving our meeting. I would look forward sincerely to a debate with Council on February 15, 2023. This matter is urgent because a timely rescheduling of the next Council meeting is required for Council members to attend the state funeral for former Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion.
