Streetsville Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Feasibility Study and Plan
Project Update: December 2024
At their December 11, 2024 meeting, Council of the City of Mississauga adopted the Streetsville Heritage Conservation District Plan.
Streetsville was developed by Euro-Canadians as a 19th-century settlement based on industry and water power made available by the Credit River. Today, the community includes a concentration of properties, which have been identified as being of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest. The community provides a sense of place and scenic quality often referred to as 'The Village in the City'.
The City is engaging the community to determine whether Streetsville meets the legislated criteria for consideration as a potential Heritage Conservation District (HCD) under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. The study will be carried out in two phases. The first phase will determine whether or not the area meets the criteria as an HCD. If initiated, the second phase would include drafting an HCD Plan which provides policies and guidelines to manage change within the proposed HCD boundary.
MHBC; with +VG, Archeoworks, and Wendy Shearer Landscape Architect; is conducting the study, which commenced in March 2023.

Project Update: December 2023
We are approaching the end of Phase 1 of the Streetsville Heritage Conservation District Study. The consulting team has completed an evaluation of the study area and has determined that the study area includes property which meets the legislated criteria for identifying a potential Heritage Conservation District under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. A recommended Heritage Conservation District boundary has been identified.
Now that data has been collected and recommendations are being drafted, we are looking to the community to provide us with input. Information provided to the consultants at the upcoming community meeting will feed into a report prepared by the Consultants. This report will be brought forward to Council in late winter 2024 in order to determine whether or not the study should proceed to Phase 2.
Join us at our next community meeting:
Wednesday, January 24, 2024 at 7 p.m.
Vic Johnston Community Centre
Hazel McCallion Hall
335 Church Street, MississaugaThe meeting will include the following:
- a presentation by the Consulting team to provide a summary of findings as a result of field work and historic research;
