A WIS E MA N ON CE SA ID...

“If you have true wisdom, you do not have to put on any acts. Every word you speak will be beautiful, loving,and compassionate. There will be sweetness and dignity in those words. If your wisdom has come from truth, that in itself will be beautiful. It will need no makeup.

So do not speak words you pick up here and there or read in books. Your words should come in an automatic way from within your heart and reveal the truth. Simply speak that truth. There is no need to embellish it and make it eloquent.”

THE TEAM HAD MANY RESCUE HIGHLIGHTS THROUGHOUT 2021.

WHILE ANIMALS COME IN MANY SIZES – WHETHER BIG OR SMALL – ANIMAL SERVICES VALUES ALL LIVES OF THESE ANIMALS EQUALLY: • A chicken was finally captured after almost five months on the loose and before winter set in • An opossum mother with babies attached to her was hit by a car – officers transported them to a wildlife rehabilitation centre where they recovered

Animals IN DISTRESS?

MISSISSAUGA ANIMAL SERVICES TO THE RESCUE

6

Raccoons, skunks, coyotes, beavers, snapping turtles, swans – are just a few examples of the type of wildlife that call Mississauga home.

In 2021, the Mississauga Animal Services team responded to 5,594 animal emergency and rescue calls for animals that were injured or in distress. A 56 per cent increase from 2019. Increased wildlife activity, growing populations and greater urban density are contributing to the increase in emergency calls.

Mississauga Animal Services is a dedicated team of professionals responsible for helping animals in need.

As essential workers, they are available 24/7 to respond to and attend animalrelated concerns – from wildlife to domestic animals.

Education is also a key element of the team’s work. Helping residents and pet owners understand the best ways to care for their furry loved ones and coexist with the wildlife just beyond their backyards.

NEIGHBOURHOODMAGA ZINE .CA

• A red-tailed hawk caught in netting was freed and released • A coyote with a bucket over its head, which prevented it from eating or drinking – was captured and brought to a wildlife rehabilitation centre for treatment • A snapping turtle crossing a busy road was safely escorted into a nearby creek • A baby raccoon was stuck in a residential fence and was freed by officers and reunited it with its mother In accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, wildlife returned to the wild needs to be released within one kilometre of where they were found.

The team also matched its best year on record for cat and dog save rates in 2021 at 96.4 per cent. Cats or dogs that came into the shelter – whether they were lost, surrendered or abandoned – were successfully placed through adoption or reunited with their owners.

If you see or encounter an injured, distress animal or lost pet, please call Mississauga Animal Services 24/7 at 905-896-5858.

Residents can also support Mississauga Animal Services by donating to the Animal Services Special Care for Animals and Resources Fund (SCARF). Donations help support their commitment to keeping animals in their care healthier, safer and more comfortable so they are healthy enough to be adopted. To donate online, visit mississauga.ca/scarf.

Tobogganing

WONDERLAND

By Jason Stacey ■ Photography by Peeter Poldre

"BE SURE TO STRAP ON A HELMET BEFORE RACING DOWN THOSE HILLS."

If you love tobogganing then this has been a great winter for you.

With record breaking snowfall, the hills have been blanketed with fresh snow and filled with thrill seeking kids and parents enjoying this great Canadian past-time.

Despite the frigid temperatures, both Jack Darling and Birchwood Park’s legendary “Kentucky Hill” have been busy spots this season. So, if you haven’t gotten out, be sure to grab your sleds (and helmets!) and take advantage of the white stuff before it’s gone.

GAME ON I N Clarkson Story & Photography by Peeter Poldre

On a frigid winter’s afternoon, the MISSISSAUGA U18 HURRICANES took advantage of a remarkable Clarkson neighbourhood backyard rink to scrimmage.

The Hurricanes are part of the Mississauga Girls Hockey League. They typically play in competition with teams from North York, Leaside, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Oakville, and North Halton but this afternoon they enjoyed competitive camaraderie with each other. Game on!

RÖSTIS

Prep Time: 1.5 hours ı Serves: 4

DIRECTIONS

INGREDIENTS

STEP 1 / Fill a large saucepan with cold water and place cut potatoes into the pot. Season generously with salt. Bring water to a boil, then reduce to a medium simmer and cook until potatoes are tender but insides still a bit firm, roughly 10-15 mins.

• 4 tbsp olive oil, divided

STEP 2 / Drain potatoes well. Cover and chill for a good hour.

• 3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut in equal halves

STEP 3 / Once chilled, shred potatoes using the largest holes on a cheese

• 1 tsp salt

grater, and place on paper towels to absorb any excess water, and then toss in salt.

STEP 4 / Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat.

Just before smoking point, add the shredded potatoes to the pan, and spread out the potatoes to about ½” thickness, and ensuring the potatoes have good contact with the pan.

STEP 5 / Use a spatula to check to make sure it doesn’t stick. Cook until there is crisp bottom on the potatoes, roughly 5-7 mins.

THIS IS A FUN IDEA FOR BRUNCH,

just give yourself enough time for the prep!

Also, get creative with the toppings – let family personalize their own by having a variety of toppings available for assembly (eg. grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, chives for a loaded potato, a fried egg or some smoked salmon, capers, cream cheese, red onion).

STEP 6 / Invert a plate (larger than the pan), over the pan and then carefully turn the pan over so the rösti plops onto the plate. MAKE SURE all the oil has been absorbed before you flip over. Note: this is a quick flip from pan to plate. Put the pan back on the burner, add the remaining 2 Tbsp of oil, and then slide the rösti (the uncooked part should be on the bottom now) back into the pan, and cook until the rösti is crisp.

STEP 7 / Slide the rösti onto a cutting board and cut into quarters to serve, and have toppings ready for family or friends to personalize themselves!
