City of Mississauga to host tele town hall amid second wave of COVID-19

 

Residents who have questions about how the city is handling the second wave of COVID-19 can participate in an upcoming tele town hall session. 

The event will be held on Thursday, Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m.

The city says the live tele town hall will provide updates on the new COVID-19-related restrictions facing Mississauga residents and businesses.

Late last week, the province placed Mississauga in the new “Red-Control” zone. To further slow the spread of COVID-19, Peel Public Health has recommended additional and stricter public health measures that limit in-person interactions.

The event will feature a group of panelists from the city, Peel Region Public Health and Trillium Health Partners, including Mayor Bonnie Crombie, Medical Officer of Health Dr. Lawrence Loh and Michelle DiEmanuele, President and CEO of Trillium Health Partners. 

Residents who wish to participate in the session can do so in one of the following three ways:

1. Pre-register: residents who wish to participate in the session are encouraged to register their telephone number in advance at the following link: Mississauga.ca/townhall
2. Participate online: the Tele Town Hall will be available online.
3. Join by telephone: a random selection of residents will receive a telephone call to participate in advance based on a list provided by a virtual town hall service. The call-out is done to ensure as many residents as possible have an opportunity to participate. If you don't wish to participate, simply hang up. If you don't receive a call and would like to participate, dial 1-877-229-8493 and enter ID number: 115911 followed by the # key.
