Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie is calling on the province to remove the city of more than 721,000 residents from Peel Region and allow it to govern its own affairs as a standalone municipality.
In January, the Ford government launched a review of eight regional governments across Ontario, which included Peel, Halton, Durham and York in the GTA.
In a message posted to Twitter following the vote, Mayor Bonnie Crombie said that Mississauga taxpayers send $85 million to Peel Region every year “to fund the growth of others cities.” The motion passed by Mississauga city council on Wednesday notes that while the city provides 59 per cent of the funding to the Region of Peel, it only holds 50 per cent of the votes on Peel Region council.
