Join a Community Ride and the Bike Challenge

Community Rides are guided group bike rides taking place in various neighbourhoods from now until October, led by the City of Mississauga. They are the perfect opportunity for those new to cycling to get more comfortable on their bike, experience Mississauga’s cycling infrastructure and meet others in the community. Choose from eight or sixteen-kilometre routes to suit your comfort level. The Bike Challenge compliments the Community Rides program, allowing you to record your rides and increase the number of trees planted by the City, with a celebratory group planting in September!

Curbside Giveaway Days

Curbside Giveaway Day events are organized in cooperation with the local municipalities, where residents place unwanted items in good condition—clearly marked FREE—on their curb for anyone to pick up. At the end of the Giveaway Day, residents return unclaimed items to their home.

Please ensure items whether new or used, are safe and meet current regulatory requirements. It is important to only place items that are in good condition. The Region is not responsible for quality of items placed out for the Curbside Giveaway Day.

Spring Event:
Saturday, June 14, 2025
7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
