National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

September 29, 2026

Tomorrow, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour residential school survivors, their families, and the children who never came home. We also recognize the lasting impacts of the residential school system and the responsibility we all share to face this history honestly and contribute to the work of reconciliation.

Message from Mayor Christa Lowry

With work on Pakenham’s historic Five Span Bridge progressing ahead of schedule, Lanark County is hosting a community celebration on Saturday, October 3, beginning at 1:30 pm. Mississippi Mills is pleased to support the event and help spread the word.

The Mississippi Mills Fire Department has been made aware of reports of individuals contacting residents by phone and claiming to represent the Fire Department while attempting to solicit donations.

Please be advised that the Mississippi Mills Fire Department does not conduct fundraising campaigns or solicit donations by telephone. If you receive a call from someone claiming to be associated with the Fire Department and requesting financial contributions, do not provide any personal or financial information. If you are uncertain about a call you have received, please contact the Municipality of Mississippi Mills directly to verify its legitimacy.

Thank you for helping us spread awareness and protect our community from potential scams.

Mississippi Mills Fire Department (MMFD) has lowered the current burn risk to Level 2 (Moderate Risk) due to recent rainfall and additional precipitation expected in the coming days.

Under this level, open air burning is permitted. Residents must continue to follow all burn permit rules and ensure fires are closely monitored at all times.
