Shawn Slack, Director of Information Technology and Chief Information Officer for the City of Mississauga, will present information about Mississauga’s submission to the Smart Cities Challenge and the development of the Smart City Master Plan.

The Government of Canada’s Smart Cities Challenge encourages communities across Canada to enter submissions with ideas geared to improving the lives of residents through innovation, data and connected technology. For example, smart city ideas can promote economic opportunity, ease traffic congestion, improve the environment and enhance access to services. The winning communities will be announced in spring 2019 and will receive up to $50 million in funding to implement their plans.

The City conducted in-person and online public engagement sessions throughout February to gather ideas from the tech industry and the community. Discussions focused on six areas of focus – economic opportunity, mobility, empowerment and inclusion, safety, healthy living, the environment. Working with the urban planning research consultancy, the Canadian Urban Institute, the City crafted its submission to provide a “made in Mississauga” solution to issues facing the City.

For more information about the smart city initiatives that Mississauga has already implemented (free public Wi-Fi, Open Data, hackathons, fibre network, Advanced Traffic Management, LED Lighting, mobile apps and more) as well as future plans, visit www.mississauga.ca/smartcity.
