Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program

Cooksville Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program (SNAP)

The City of Mississauga, in collaboration with Credit Valley Conservation and the Region of Peel, is working to develop a Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program (SNAP) in the Cooksville neighbourhood. The City aims to develop an action-oriented plan, making Cooksville Creek and the surrounding neighbourhood more sustainable and ready for a changing climate.

Cooksville SNAP will be developed from the fall of 2023 through the end of 2024. Developing the program will involve the collaboration of the following:

• Local residents, businesses, community groups and partners, NGOs, and local leaders
• Credit Valley Conservation (CVC)
• City of Mississauga
• Region of Peel

The area of focus for the Cooksville SNAP is a neighbourhood spanning over 300 hectares along Cooksville Creek in south central Mississauga. It is situated south of the Canadian Pacific Railway Line to Queen Elizabeth Way Highway and between Confederation Parkway and Cliff Road. The area includes:

• Residential areas
• Commercial areas
• Schools
• Places of worship
• Transit hubs
• Neighbourhood parks and gardens
• Community gathering spaces
• A network of valleyland along Cooksville Creek
  

As a mature urban area, it presents:

• Natural areas and community assets that we can protect and enhance
• A lively and active community ready to engage in climate action
• Many opportunities for environmental restoration and retrofit
