It is that time of the year again and the Mississauga Football League is ready to take to the field! For over 40 seasons the Mississauga Football League has provided football programs for the youth of Mississauga.
But before they get on that field they are out in the community having a blast. So, we ask you what do Elmo, Spider-Man, Darth Vader and Strawberry Shortcake have in common with the Argos? They are among the fabulous prizes you can win during the MFL In-Person registration at Fee Fi Fo Fun on Saturday, May 5th from 2:00pm - 5:00 pm. Fe Fi Fo Fun is hosting this "Q & A" event where parents and future players can drop by with their questions, register to play and have a chance to win a few great prizes and giveaways. Fee Fi Fo Fun offers a year around selection of unique Birthday Gifts and Costume Wear and is located at 1842 Lakeshore Rd. W., 2 lights east of Southdown Road in Clarkson.
The Mississauga Football League is so excited about this coming season. Their recent addition of Flag Football for ages 7 - 12 is growing tremendously. Tackle Football, of course, is still the heart of their organization; for ages 9 - 17, equipment is supplied and no experience is needed.
The one point when talking to the MFL volunteers or players that always comes across loud and clear is that; "There is a place for everyone on their field!". After over 40 years on the field the MFL know football!

Peel - To meet the growing demand for crime data, Peel Regional Police has developed an external internet crime mapping application that will provide residents of Brampton and Mississauga with a graphic and interactive tool that provides a snap shot of crime in their neighbourhoods. The application was developed with input from various stakeholders including Safe City Mississauga, Brampton Safe City, Neighborhood Watch, PRP Crime Prevention Services, PRP Corporate Communications, and the PRP Information and Privacy Unit.
Similar applications have been developed and deployed by other law enforcement agencies across Canada including York Regional Police Service, Ottawa Police Service, Calgary Police Service and Edmonton Police Service.
Users of the application will be able to interactively map incidents based on several crime types for the last 30 days using a standard web browser. The map data is refreshed on a daily basis. The map will not display personal and/or specific address information of crime and strikes a balance between victims' privacy and the public's right to know about incidents affecting their communities.
The types of crimes that are searchable in the program are limited to the following:
HOMICIDE: Criminal Act Causing Death ROBBERY: Theft with Weapons of Violence MUGGINGS: Assault on Person with Intent to Rob BREAK AND ENTER: Residential and Commercial Burglaries AUTO THEFT: Theft of Automobiles, Trucks and Motorcycles THEFT FROM VEHICLE: Property Stolen From Motor Vehicles MISCHIEF: Damage to Property over $5,000
A draft of the new Port Credit Local Area Plan will be delivered to the community for review on April 25 at Clarke Hall. City planning staff will be on hand to explain the draft plan and the results of community consultations it includes. The policies included in the plan will protect and enhance Port Credit as an urban waterfront village.
"The draft area plan recognizes the unique characteristics of Port Credit," said John Calvert, Mississauga's director of Policy Planning. "The policies that are included in this plan reflect both good planning, as well as the needs and desires of the many people we spoke to in the community."
Local area plans have planning policies that address the needs of specific communities within Mississauga. They build on the Mississauga Official Plan, the collection of planning policies that apply to the entire city.
The draft area plan recognizes the need to protect and enhance the village character and the waterfronts of Lake Ontario and the Credit River while providing more diverse transportation options, parks and open spaces. Intensification will be focused in central Port Credit, along Lakeshore Road and in brownfield sites while ensuring stable neighbourhoods are preserved.
The Mississauga Official Plan and all local area plans support the City's Strategic Plan, a vision of Mississauga as a city of vibrant, connected communities.

Date: April 25, 2012 Time: 2 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. (presentation at 7 p.m.) Location: Clarke Hall, 161 Lakeshore Road West (east of Mississauga Road)
