🛒 T&T Supermarket Coming Soon Near Oakville

T&T Supermarket is opening a new location just steps from Oakville’s border, aiming to better serve local shoppers who’ve been making the trip to Mississauga for years. The new store will be located at 3055 Vega Boulevard, near Highway 403 and Dundas Street, with a tentative opening set for Summer 2026.

“We’ve been looking to serve the Oakville community for a while now, and we have finally found a great location that will do that and more,” said T&T CEO Tina Lee. The 40,000-square-foot store will offer the full T&T experience—Asian snacks, live seafood, fresh produce, in-store prepared meals, and more.

The new build will also create 120 jobs and provide a much more convenient option for Oakville residents craving the diverse selection T&T is known for.

Community Spotlight

🎶 Oakville Teens Break Barriers with Project Apollo

Three Oakville high school students are hitting all the right notes with Project Apollo, a new program making music more accessible for youth who can’t afford instruments or lessons.

Jessica Wang and Zheng Wu from White Oaks Secondary, along with Jaime Seoh from Iroquois Ridge, started the initiative to provide band instruments like flutes, saxophones, and clarinets, plus resources like music books and reeds. They’re also planning competitions with scholarships for standout performers.

While they haven’t started distributing instruments just yet, Project Apollo is already hosting charity concerts to raise awareness and inspire. Their next show, A Little Night Music, happens April 20 from 6–8 p.m. at 918 Bathurst Street, featuring talented youth musicians from across the GTA.

🏗️ Sixteen Mile Community Centre Almost Ready

Oakville’s new Sixteen Mile Community Centre and Library is getting close to completion, but it won’t open to the public until February 2026. Construction is expected to finish by November 2025.

The space will include a pool, fitness centre, indoor track, gymnasiums, and an 18,000 sq. ft. library with study areas, kids’ zones, and public computers. Programs, including March Break camps, will begin in spring 2026.

Some outdoor features like sports fields and cricket grounds are already open. Still to come later this year: a skate park, splash pad, courts, and more.
