JIM TOVEY LAKEVIEW CONSERVATION AREA

A GREEN OASIS ON THE SHORELINE

For over 50 years, Mississauga’s waterfront has been inaccessible by its residents; a coal burning power plant has stood on its shoreline, emitting smog across waters once treasured for trade, transport and life by the lake.

Together, Credit Valley Conservation (CVC), the Region of Peel and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), are reconnecting Mississauga with the lake. This new coastal conservation area adjacent to Lakeview Village, a vision largely driven by and realized by the late Councillor Jim Tovey, will:

• Reinvigorate the waterfront with 64 acres of brand new, publicly accessible wetlands, streams, trails and beautiful naturalized areas • Connect to nearby parks, a restored Serson Creek and the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail for a continuous waterfront trail from west to east • Provide a place for people to connect with nature, while supporting wildlife migration and restoring native species
