Bonnie Crombie Vows to Stop $2.5-Billion Living Arts Centre Redevelopment in her election Platform
Crombie says cancelling the redevelopment would free city resources for housing, transit and safer neighbourhoods while keeping the Living Arts Centre’s cultural role.
- On Thursday, October 15, 2026, mayoral candidate Bonnie Crombie released her election platform, pledging to scrap Mayor Carolyn Parrish's proposed $2.5-billion Living Arts Centre redevelopment.
- Crombie criticized the incumbent, noting that Parrish raised taxes 15% in two years before championing the redevelopment, which she labeled a "vanity project."
- Her platform prioritizes controlling taxes by creating an independent Auditor General, alongside plans to synchronize traffic lights and support police tackling home invasions.
- Addressing affordability, the candidate proposed raising annual property tax rebates to $1,000 for eligible low-income seniors and increasing annual recreation assistance to $500 per participant.
- Crombie, who previously served as Mississauga's mayor from 2014 to 2024 and led the Ontario Liberal Party from 2023 to 2026, emphasized her background as essential for delivering the infrastructure residents demand.
