To support public health and safety, Mississauga outdoor pools are closed and some outdoor recreation programs have been moved indoors until further notice.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Due to wildfires in other parts of Ontario, Mississauga continues to experience poor air quality and a Very High (10+) Air Quality Health Index (AQHI)<\/a> \u00a0for the second consecutive day.<\/p>\n Based on this rating, residents are advised to avoid strenuous outdoor activities. If you must be outdoors, it is advised to minimize smoke exposure as much as possible, and prioritize keeping cool. Children, older adults, and individuals experiencing symptoms such as coughing or throat irritation should take extra precautions and limit outdoor physical exertion.<\/p>\n Reducing your exposure to smoke is the best way to protect your health. As air quality worsens, the likelihood of health effects increases, so residents should limit time outdoors and adjust daily activities where possible.<\/p>\n Closures and cancellations<\/p>\n Due to the poor air quality, the City has implemented program adjustments and closures for today, Thursday July 16, 2026.<\/p>\n All City of Mississauga outdoor pools<\/a> are closed. These closures and cancellations are necessary to support public health and safety and will be reassessed as air quality conditions change. The City will continue to monitor weather reports and alerts from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).<\/p>\n Where possible, make-up classes for cancelled activities will be rescheduled to a later date, or a refund will be issued if a class is not rescheduled. Outdoor permit holders can contact the Customer Service Centre at 905-615-4100 or by email at facility.rentals@mississauga.ca<\/a> regarding any questions they may have.<\/p>\n The City will continue to share updated information as it becomes available on the Recreation<\/a> and Arts & Culture<\/a> websites and social media accounts.<\/p>\n Learn more<\/a> about the air quality impacts and safety tips to protect the health of you and your family.<\/p>\n
