REMEDIATION & RECYCLING

FROM INDUSTRIAL DISUSE TO VIBRANT MIXED USE

Lakeview Village will transform the brownfield lands formerly occupied by Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) coal burning station – first developed on the site in the late 1950s. The site, with its eight boilers and four stacks known as “The Four Sisters”, ceased operations in 2005 and was demolished between 2006 and 2007.

» 177 acres of industrial land to be converted into a sustainable mixed-use community » 67 acres of waterfront park conveyed to the City of Mississauga » Over 150,000 tonnes of concrete to be hauled and donated to the Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area » Over 5,000 tonnes of metal and rebar extracted and recycled

BECAUSE FRESH AIR, BEAUTIFUL VIEWS AND SUNFLOWERS MAKE FOR BETTER LIVING

Lakeview Village is committed to building a futureready, sustainable community. LCPL planted over one million sunflowers at the existing Lakeview Village site during the summer of 2019 to continue its remediation efforts through the process of phytoremediation. This allows for soil optimization, supports native species and nature conservancy and builds strong connections with our environment.

Sunflowers are “phytoremediators” – a solar, energy-driven soil cleanup technique.

The sunflower is a native species found as far back in our history as 3,000 BCE.

Sunflowers attract bees because of the high-quality protein in their nectar. This helps bees survive and pollinate other plants for stronger local wildlife.
