What should Mississauga become in its next chapter?

Damerla discusses her proposal to freeze property taxes in 2027, municipal spending and policing costs, housing and intensification, transit, economic development, and why she believes Mississauga needs better execution—not more plans. She also shares her vision for transforming Cooksville into a vibrant, walkable urban village, and explains why she believes Mississauga needs a mayor who will aggressively advocate for the city at Queen’s Park and in Ottawa. What should Mississauga look like over the next decade—and can it become “so much bigger and better”?
