    Moved ByCouncillor D. Damerla
    Seconded ByCouncillor C. Parrish

    WHEREAS in the coming years, Cooksville is expected to house 60% of the population growth of Mississauga,

    WHEREAS, given this exponential growth, Cooksville needs a community centre and Library sooner than later

    AND WHEREAS, land is at a premium in the Cooksville area and that is why the Cooksville Joint-use Feasibility Study was commissioned by the City of Mississauga and Peel District School Board (PDSB) and completed by CS&P Architects.  The goal of the study was to determine the feasibility of a fully integrated community centre, public library, park, and secondary school – on the site of T.L. Kennedy Secondary School and Sgt. David Yakichuk Park (P-263).

    AND WHEREAS, the feasibility study has determined that the proposed joint-use community centre and library is feasible on the lands of T.L. Kennedy S.S. (16.6 acres) and Sgt. David Yakichuk Park (3.86 acres). The site is appropriate in size and characteristics to accommodate a community centre, library, park, and new secondary school for approximately 1,500 pupils.

    AND WHEREAS, the City of Mississauga and both the Peel District School Board and the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board have many long-standing (over 20 years) and new examples of joint-use facilities and partnerships.  These partnerships represent excellent value to taxpayers and ensure long-term access to community amenities that benefit both students and the broader community.

    AND WHEREAS, the shared-use facility, will not only provide land-deficient Cooksville with a much-needed community centre, library, and new building for T L Kennedy one of the oldest High Schools in Mississauga, but it will also free up approximately 5.7 acres of new land on Hurontario for housing intensification close to the Cooksville Go station furthering the Province of Ontario’s housing goals. 

    AND FURTHER, 
    The shared-used program creates a cost-saving scenario as the shared spaces reduce the gross floor area by approximately 11% compared to two separate buildings, translating into potential capital cost savings.

    WHEREAS, for this project to succeed we need both the Peel District School Board and the Ministry of Education

    AND WHEREAS, given Cooksville’s projected growth and demographic profile it needs a full-service community centre that includes a swimming pool

    THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:

    1)    Staff convene a meeting with the Peel District School Board Senior staff to solidify the next steps and project timing.
    2)    Council endorse Option A which includes a 2.95 acre (128,500 SF) basketball court, spray pad, and playground 3.56 acre (155,000 SF), shared-use track and field with lit artificial turf, 61,947 SF community centre with double gym, pool, therapeutic tank, fitness studio, and meeting rooms.
    3)    A copy of this resolution be sent to the Minister of Education, Minister of Municipal Affairs, and all MPPs and School Board trustees.
