Credit Valley Conservation

Congratulations to @CVC_CA and Trees for Life on this wonderful partnership, which will see approximately 24,000 native trees and shrubs planted over the next three years. This investment will help strengthen the health of the natural systems that connect our communities. Native trees clean our air and water, provide habitat for wildlife, reduce flooding and erosion, and help make our neighbourhoods more resilient to a changing climate. Here in Mississauga, and especially in Ward 9, we're incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful natural spaces that are part of the Credit River watershed. Lake Aquitaine, for example, is much more than a scenic destination. It's an important stormwater management lake, collecting and filtering runoff before the water eventually makes its way to the Credit River. It's a wonderful reminder that our parks, wetlands, and waterways are all connected, and that by protecting and restoring nature today, we're investing in a healthier, more resilient community for generations to come. #Mississauga #Ward9 #CreditValley #TreePlanting #Nature #Community #ClimateResilience
