Some Ward One Residents Now Part of Mississauga

A municipal boundary realignment between Milton and Mississauga has been approved by the Province, affecting 25 residents in the Ninth Line Corridor.

The change, which will come into effect this Friday, will see Mississauga acquire close to 1,000 acres of land along Ninth Line in Milton. The residents living in the affected area will move from Ward 1 in Milton and form part of Wards 8, 9 and 10 in Mississauga.

The Milton-Mississauga border will now be moved west to the middle of Hwy. 407 from the middle of Ninth Line. The land to be annexed is commonly called the Ninth Line Corridor, and is generally bounded by Hwy. 401 to the north, Ninth Line to the east, Lower Base Line to the south and Hwy. 407 to the west.

The Town of Milton, City of Mississauga and regions of Halton and Peel all previously endorsed the change and submitted the boundary realignment to the Province’s Minister of Municipal Affairs for final approval, which was recently received.

The four municipalities have already agreed to the amount of compensation: Milton will receive $2 million and Halton $1.29 million. Peel will pay about 62 per cent of that amount with Mississauga picking up the remainder.
