Today, the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) announced its Intelligent Community of the Year for 2021. Although Mississauga was not selected, the City continues its progress on implementing its Smart City Master Plan.
In July 2021, the ICF named Mississauga as one of the Top 7 Intelligent Communities of the Year based on its survey of communities from around the world.
While vying for the top spot, City staff developed “74 Reasons Why Mississauga is the top Intelligent Community.” These include initiatives and services that foster innovation, inclusion and transparency.

These and many more examples that can be found here.
Mississauga may not have achieved the top spot of ICF Intelligent Community of the Year, but as the City continues to use technology to bridge the digital divide and enhance quality of life through technology, everybody wins.
