Why it matters
The Interim Control By-law is effective for a period of one year from the date of passing, though the Council has the authority to extend it for up to two years. Affected parties wishing to appeal the by-law have until November 5, 2026, to file through the Ontario Land Tribunal.
The Mississauga council is currently seeking a new watchdog to investigate flaws within the integrity commissioner system.
