Help Shape Mississauga's First Archaeological Management Plan

Official title: Archaeology Management Plan

Informational Community Planning Housing & Communities Indigenous & Northern
Mississauga is creating its first plan to protect archaeological sites across the city. The goal? Make sure developers and planners know where historically significant areas are before building starts. This year-long project will map areas of archaeological potential and create new policies for the city's Official Plan.

Why This Matters

Planning a renovation or new build in Mississauga? This plan could affect what assessments you need before breaking ground. It also shapes how the city protects Indigenous heritage sites. If you care about local history or how development decisions get made, this is your chance to weigh in.

What Could Change

New GIS maps will identify areas requiring archaeological assessments before development. The city's Official Plan will get updated policies on protecting archaeological resources. Developers may face new requirements in areas flagged as having archaeological potential.

Key Issues

  • Which areas should be mapped as having archaeological potential?
  • What policies should guide archaeological protection in the Official Plan?
  • How should the city engage with First Nations and Indigenous communities on heritage protection?
