Strong Mayor Powers

Effective May 1, 2025, the Province announced that Strong Mayor Powers will be extended to an additional 170 municipalities – Mississippi Mills included. These changes are being put in place to support the Province’s priority and commitment to increasing the housing supply by 1.5 million homes by December 31, 2031. These tools will also help cut red tape and speed up the delivery of key shared municipal-provincial priorities such as transit and infrastructure.
