Mississauga's recent record rainfall has led to calls for improved stormwater infrastructure, as this severe weather demonstrates a trend of increasingly extreme rainfall due to climate change.
Helen Noehammer mentioned that the stormwater system is meant for once-in-10-years events, yet we are experiencing storms that resemble a one-in-100-year occurrence.
Residents like Jason Brown were significantly affected by the flooding, losing recently purchased kitchen materials due to severe water inundation in their homes.
The areas hit hardest include Dixie Road and Dundas Street, signaling the necessity for expanded stormwater management to combat future flooding risks.
