Public Engagement and Meetings

Each year since 1931, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, Canadians pause to remember and honour those who have served and sacrificed in defence of our country.

In Mississippi Mills, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 Poppy Campaign is now underway. Running from October 24 to November 11, the campaign raises vital funds to support veterans and their families while helping ensure future generations never forget who they served.

The Municipality of Mississippi Mills has begun work on its 2026 Sidewalk Program, with new sidewalks being installed in both Pakenham and Almonte this fall to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility.

The Municipality of Mississippi Mills will close the Pakenham Waste and Recycle Depot for the season after Saturday, November 28.

The depot’s final day of operation this year will be Saturday, November 28 from 8 a.m. to noon.

This seasonal closure reflects lower usage during the winter months and helps reduce the costs associated with operating and maintaining the site.

The results are now official for the 2026 Mississippi Mills Municipal Election in Ramsay Ward.
