Start of Construction for Mississauga's Bus Rapid Transit
Recently I was at an event that marked the start of construction for the City of Mississauga's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project. Also attending were Mayor Hazel McCallion, other Members of Council, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Bob Dechert, Member of Parliament for Mississauga-Erindale, Harinder Takhar, Member of Provincial Parliament for Mississauga-Erindale and Minister of Government Services for the Province of Ontario and Rob Pritchard, CEO of Metrolinx.

The City of Mississauga is constructing BRT Project infrastructure in the City Centre as well as the busway corridor and stations from Hurontario Street to Renforth Station. GO, a Division of Metrolinx, is constructing the busway and stations from Winston Churchill Boulevard to Erin Mills Parkway. Construction will continue over the next few years with completion expected in 2013.

To my Ward 10 residents who celebrate Ramadan, I would like to wish you a very Happy and Blessed Ramadan.
