Mississauga pools and recreation programs have now resumed regular operations today, July 18, 2026.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Due to wildfires in other parts of Ontario, Mississauga experienced\u00a0poor air quality and a Very High (10+)\u00a0Air Quality Health Index (AQHI)<\/a>\u00a0last week.\u00a0As a result, to support public health\u00a0and safety, outdoor pools, and Mississauga Celebration Square wading pool were closed and some recreation programs were adjusted.<\/p>\n

Based on reports from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), air quality is expected to continue improving through the day. As a result, the City\u2019s pools and recreation programs have resumed regular hours and operations today, July 18, 2026.<\/p>\n
