Buildings in Mississauga are responsible for roughly 50% of greenhouse gas emissions, but we can reduce these emissions through building and site design.

The City of Mississauga's Green Development Standard (GDS) has been the tool through which the Planning and Building Department promotes environmentally friendly development through the Site Plan process. The GDS is being updated as per action 3.1 in the Climate Change Action Plan.

The Mississauga GDS will become mandatory on March 1, 2025 and , as such, the city of Mississauga would like to inform Ontario architects about this new program. Come back for more information on this session!
