 Stronger Together: Celebrating Our 2026 Giving Milestones and Gearing Up for a Rain-or-Shine Paddle for the People! Since our volunteer-run charity was founded in 1999, the Lakeshore Corridor Community Team (LCCTeam) has operated under a simple, powerful guiding motto: "neighbours helping, neighbours." We believe that when we support the most vulnerable in our Lakeshore corridor area, we build a stronger, more resilient Mississauga for everyone. As we hit the mid-way mark of 2026, we want to share a few incredible milestones that your generosity has made possible this year:

Neighbours Helping Neighbours: Strengthening our Community Through The Parking Foundation In the Photo (Right to Left): Erin Whitton, Gloria Pazan, Stephen Hamn, Geoff Menzies, Marcelo Pazan, Barb Higgins, and the founder of The Parking Foundation, Rose Bilak. At the Lakeshore Corridor Community Team (LCCTeam), our mission has always been rooted in the spirit of "Neighbours Helping Neighbours." We believe that a stronger Mississauga is built through connection, collaboration, and supporting those who work tirelessly to improve the lives of our residents. On April 8, 2026, we were honoured to take another step in that mission during a meeting of the CARP Mississauga Chapter at the Vic Johnston Community Centre. In front of a room full of dedicated community advocates, the LCCTeam proudly presented a donation of $3,000 to The Parking Foundation. A Partnership Rooted in Connection This meaningful connection was made possible through the dedication of our Ward 1 City Councillor, Stephen Dasko. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Councillor Dasko for his unwavering commitment to our city and for his constant efforts to connect people who care. By bringing The Parking Foundation to our attention, he has helped us support a cause that aligns perfectly with our grassroots values.  The founder of The Parking Foundation, Rose Bilak, alongside the LCCTeam's cheque for $3000 The Heart Behind The Parking Foundation The Parking Foundation was born out of a deeply personal and moving story. Founded by Rose Bilak in loving memory of Stephen Louis Bilak, the foundation honours Stephen’s legacy following his 66-day stay in the ICU. During that incredibly difficult time, his family faced over $1,000 in parking fees—a financial hardship that no family should have to endure while caring for a hospitalized loved one. Stephen’s story inspired a mission of pure compassion: to ensure no family ever has to choose between being at a loved one's bedside and the mounting cost of hospital parking. The foundation provides complimentary hospital parking passes to patients and families in need. Starting with a focus on pediatric cancer families and expanding to others in the future, their vision is to remove the financial barriers to care, ensuring that dignity and access are part of every hospital stay. Why This Matters to LCCTeam Why did the LCCTeam choose to support The Parking Foundation? Because we believe in removing burdens from our neighbours during their toughest battles. As a registered charity in Port Credit, we look for initiatives that provide direct, tangible support to our community. The Parking Foundation turns a personal tragedy into a legacy of kindness, making "parking" one less worry for families in medical crisis. By supporting Rose’s vision, we are helping ensure that our neighbours can focus entirely on what matters most: healing and family.  Join Us in Supporting This Cause
We are incredibly proud to support Rose and her team in this vital mission. However, the work doesn't stop with one cheque. To truly ease the burden for families across Mississauga, we need the collective power of our community. We encourage you to learn more about their mission and join us in donating to this worthy cause.
