Peel Police's 2026 budget is $837M, up 9.9%.

- Mississauga pays 62% ($519M), Brampton pays 38% ($318M), despite roughly equal populations.

- Mississauga estimates we're overpaying by $104M annually compared to a population-based split.

Annual police cost per resident:

- Peel: $525

- Toronto: $442

- York: $385

- Halton: $384

- Ottawa: $372

So Peel policing is already significantly more expensive per resident than comparable Ontario regions, and Mississauga pays a disproportionate share.

Why are Mississauga taxpayers paying so much more? Is the funding formula justified by actual crime rates and policing demand?

The budget increase represents an addition of 94 officers and 75 civilian professionals

Today afternoon (October 27th) I accidentally hopped off the 4W bus at [camilla rd at cherry post dr] at 4:00pm.... it wasn't until right when i stepped on the sidewalk that I suddenly realized I left my phone on the bus. Then the bus took off and I thought I could chase it but my backpack was too heavy. Yet another reason to hate school.

I marked my phone as lost through find my hub google, simply because my phone location is turned off so I can't even track my phone now!

My phone is green and leathery with a black case on it. The black case has this sliding door that covers the cam lens. My phone is a third party phone, motorola but its OS system is android. My phone has a yellow wallpaper on it however because i marked it as lost, you might not be able to see the wallpaper... but there is a written message i typed on it which is if somebody does find it. 

If you took the 4W and saw my phone today and use reddit please let me know PLEASE. I'm so fucking cooked, I feel like the most irresponsible pos in the world rn

Hi guys! Not sure if this is the best way to find one, but I’m looking for a personal trainer.

Ideally someone who could meet with me 1-2 per week at the gym in my condo building. I’d like to focus on strength training.

Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks!

What can be done to put an end to this menace? They're easily going 60-70+ in 40 kmph areas. The city installed temporary bollards last year but they've since been removed.

Anyone know what time the lights at public school track & fields turn on? Want to run in the morning but ideally not in the dark lol

Has anyone attended The Perfect Bite: A Knives Out Experience? It says “dress to impress,” but everyone I’ve seen on social media looks pretty casual. What’s the actual dress code? Don’t want to overdress.

My child's diy costume didn't work out last minute and I'm trying to find something for my kid. Most stores have barely anything left. Looking for places that I probably haven't thought of!

Edit: Thanks everyone for the great suggestions!!
