Burnhamthorpe SNAP

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), City of Mississauga and Region of Peel have worked with local residents and businesses to develop the Burnhamthorpe SNAP.

This action-oriented plan will help implement Mississauga’s Climate Change Action Plan, Living Green initiatives, helping the community to become more sustainable, and more resilient to the impacts of climate change.

The area is bound by Bloor Street West in the south, Eastgate Parkway and Mississauga’s future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor in the north, Dixie Road in the west, and the Etobicoke Creek (west branch) in the east.

About the Plan

The Burnhamthorpe SNAP action plan supports environmental resilience and active lifestyles over three major areas of focus:

  • Residential Resilience through lot level stormwater and energy actions.
  • Food-Tower Connection for food security and greater neighbourhood connections through local food production.
  • Occupying the Street by creating greener, more vibrant streets over time.
