A Warm Welcome to Mississauga!
Welcome to Mississauga!
Welcome to Canada’s sixth largest city — a
city full of exciting events, exceptional tourist
attractions and entertaining and sports options
for all. We’re home to the newly launched
Mississauga Celebration Square in downtown
Mississauga; a place where there’s always
something going on to engage you, enlighten
you and make you glad you stopped by.
On behalf of the many people who
provide hospitality in Mississauga, including the Mississauga-Toronto West tourism
partnership, we are pleased to bring you the
2011-2012 Official Mississauga Visitor Guide.
Tourism Toronto is proud to partner with
the City of Mississauga to promote this wonderful community in cooperation with the
Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture.
I’m so proud of how our young city has emerged
as a world class city on its own, but we never
stop growing and offering our visitors more
options. We renovated our pools and libraries to
make them more modern and accessible for all
and added services for our guests and residents.
As host of the MasterCard Memorial Cup hockey tournament, we take our sports seriously.
Healthy lifestyles and sporting options, facilities
and events are at the heart of what makes our
vibrant city a healthy city. With waterfront trails
and hundreds of kilometres of parks and open
spaces, our city is yours to enjoy!
And we haven’t forgotten about our arts and
culture. With galleries, exhibits, museums,
heritage facilities and festivals galore, we’re
all about bringing the artistic skills of our
residents and visiting artists to the forefront.
The international cuisine of our many
restaurants continues to enhance the flair of
our community and the experience of our
visitors. And if shopping is your goal, we are
home to Square One shopping centre — the
largest shopping centre in Ontario.
Whatever your reason for enjoying our great
city, please take some time to enjoy the sights
and experience our culture and hospitality. On
behalf of Mississauga’s City Council, we hope
you enjoy your stay and tell your friends!
A beautiful lakeside setting, a flourishing
centre of arts, culture, heritage, entertainment, sports and recreation, Mississauga
is a vibrant destination that attracts many
visitors each year.
Mississauga features a wonderful blend of
thriving commercial and business districts,
charming neighbourhoods and a stunning
waterfront for boating, fishing and leisure activities. Try your hand at fishing in the Credit
River or charter a boat and enter the Great
Ontario Salmon Derby on Lake Ontario. For
nature lovers, exploring one of Mississauga’s
480 parks, woodlands, gardens, green spaces
and trails will surely be a highlight.
From championship 18-hole golf courses,
to world class arts, theatre and entertainment; from the high-stakes excitement of
horse racing ( just north-east of the city) to an
incredible selection of delicious dining and
entertainment options and unparalleled shopping experiences, there is so much to see, do
and enjoy in Mississauga. And, wherever you
go, meeting our people is an amazing way to
experience the city’s warmth and diversity.
We can’t wait to welcome you!

a Word with the mayor
It is absolutely amazing that you have been
the Mayor of Mississauga since 1978 and
involved in municipal politics since 1968.
It would be interesting for readers to find
out about how and when you first arrived
in the area, what brought you here and
what it was like — what were your first
impressions?
people. We brought in a lot of economic development. Now we have 63 of the Fortune
500 company head offices in our city. We
converted the city from a bedroom community to a self-sustaining city. We import
more people in the morning now than go out,
people working in Mississauga. So that is
quite an accomplishment.
I retired from the private sector. I was Office
Manager of a large engineering construction
firm. I got very involved in the community
of Streetsville. I was the President of the
Streetsville and District Chamber of Commerce. Acted in Trinity Anglican Church. My
husband and I married in 1951 and moved to
Streetsville so we became very much involved
in the community. In 1965, the Mayor of
Streetsville at the time asked me to join the
Planning Board of Streetsville. I rose to
become Chairman of that Board. In 1968, I ran
for Deputy Reeve of Streetsville. Then I rose
to be Mayor of Streetsville from 1970 to 1973. I
then represented Streetsville for two years on
the City Council and in 1978 I ran for Mayor
in Mississauga.
And we built all the necessary facilities for the
500,000 people that we brought in — libraries, fire halls, community centres, baseball
diamonds, soccer fields, ice arenas, etc. So we
made sure that the people who chose to live in
Mississauga had all the necessary amenities
that the city should have for the people — a
success story.
We were a bedroom community at the time
I became Mayor and our population was
approximately 270,000. Now it is over
750,000 so we have brought in 500,000
When one sees what a thriving city Mississauga has become under your Mayorship
in terms of business, community, arts and
culture, sports, education and heritage, it
is clear that enormous vision, passion and
drive were needed to make that happen.
What has been your driving force, your
source of inspiration? What has been
your greatest strength that has seen you
through?
You have to have people elected to your Council who believe in the future of this city. And
3
you have to have qualified staff to implement
the vision that the Mayor and Members of
Council have for the city. We were fortunate
to have both. We had a Council that worked
very hard and involved the people in every
aspect of the growth in their respective wards.
So the people were involved. That is one thing
we pride ourselves on. In our new strategic
plan that was just developed, we involved over
100,000 people to tell us how they would like
to see their city in the 21st century. So you
have to involve the people in the process and I
think we do that extremely well. And you have
to have a qualified staff that does their homework and a Council that shares the vision that
we want to build a city for people.
One thing I adopted when I was in the private
sector and now in the public sector is do your
homework before you make a decision. Try
to get as much information as possible before
you make a decision. And involve others in
the decision-making process because just
remember — you don’t have all the good ideas
by any means. You must involve others, talk to
others, discuss with others, seek advice, seek
comment on what you might like to do, try it
on for size with others to see what they think
about it. My favourite statement and what I
have become known for around the City is —
do your homework!
What has been your proudest moment/
achievement so far as Mayor?
(Note to reader: In 1979 there was a major
train derailment in Mississauga resulting in the potential release of toxic gas.
The entire city had to be evacuated. The
evacuation was expertly handled and the
disaster resulted in no loss of life).
I think the way in which we handled the Mississauga derailment in 1979 stands out as sort
of a miracle. It certainly put Mississauga on
the international map and certainly proved
that we could handle a major emergency.
The people cooperated 100% - that to me is
outstanding.
I am very proud of the fact that we have the
Mississauga campus of the University of
Toronto in our city. We now have a medical
school at the University of Toronto in our city.
It opens in September with 54 students. They
will go to the medical school at the University
and be trained at the two Mississauga teaching hospitals Trillium and Credit Valley hospitals. This September Sheridan College, a very
4
famous community college, opens a campus in
Mississauga, a business school.
Mississauga Celebration Square will be
publicly launched on July 1st with great
Canada Day celebrations. It is the latest
addition to Mississauga’s vibrant city and
civic centre that includes City Hall, the
library, the Living Arts Centre and
Square One, the largest shopping mall in
Ontario. Can you share with us your vision
for the Civic Centre and for Mississauga
Celebration Square and their importance
to the City?
We are still building it. It is not complete yet,
but it certainly is evolving. It has evolved I
would say over the last five years faster than
it did before that. It is evolving and still has
a way to go. We are moving in that direction.
We like to do things when we have the money
to do them. That is why after all these years
with all the development we have had and
all the services we have put in place, we are
still debt-free. The thing we lack in the city
core that we are working hard to get now is a
convention centre. For a city of our size, it is
unusual not to have a convention centre in the
city core… We are out on a proposal call on a
piece of land that we own next to our Living
Arts Centre which is the ideal location for a
convention centre so that we can combine the
hotel facilities with our Living Arts facility
which has many, many meeting rooms and is
well-equipped with high-technology, combining all our assets that we have right here in the
downtown core for a good-sized convention
centre. That is what we need… The city core
will never, in my opinion, reach the status that
it should reach until we have a convention
centre next to our Living Arts Centre.
Mississauga is a city filled with festivals
and community celebrations. Can you
share with us your involvement in
these festivals, their significance
and the sense of community which
they bring?
When I was elected Mayor in 1978, just shortly
after that, I called together a group of people
representing the ethnic make-up of our city
and said we should have a multicultural
festival. So it started 26 years ago and it
(Carassauga) is considered one of the largest
cultural festivals in Ontario now. And it is still
going on and very successful financially. We
have not had to put a lot of taxpayer money
“bringing the world
to Mississauga”
into it at all. It has been financially independent
for a long number of years. The cost is rising for
running a festival so we are now making a very
small contribution to the big budget that they
have. So I am very proud of that. And then with
our cultural make-up we have some exciting Indian festivals. Bollywood is coming to Mississauga
in June. The International Indian Film Awards
are coming to Ontario and we are going to have
a number of events in our city core. In 2015, the
Pan-Am Games are coming to Toronto and Mississauga. We are going to have a number of the
events out here in Mississauga at the
Hershey Centre and at our very modern
Gymnastics Centre in the SportZone, next to
the Hershey Centre.
The multicultural festivals bring people
together. It gives them an opportunity to
display their culture and others can learn
from it and what the cultures are all about,
for instance, learning about the Indian culture,
the Portuguese culture, the Italian culture
etc. That is what Carassauga is all about. The
theme I used with Carassauga was “bringing
the world to Mississauga”. There are many
people who may never be able visit other parts
of the world but through festivals such as these
they will be able to enjoy the culture displayed
at the Carassauga pavilions. I think when you
have people knowing more about one another
there is better understanding and respect for
one another.
You are quite a celebrity with many international fans such as Regis and Kelly and
many national and international accolades,
honours and awards. Can you elaborate a
bit for us about your experience with Regis
and Kelly?
At my Mayor’s Gala (we are celebrating our
25th anniversary this year), which is considered the top gala in the city, the corporate sector is invited and given the opportunity to get
together and support the arts… All the money
that is raised by the gala goes to support arts,
culture and heritage. Regis was invited as the
key entertainer. And as a result he seemed to
be impressed with the Mayor of Mississauga
so when I went down, he invited me to appear
on his show in New York.. He has promoted
Mississauga many, many times on his show. I
was on the Huckabee show too just last week
in New York. They invited me down to be on
the show.

MISSISSAUGA
We know you are a great hockey and
sports fan. What many people may not
know is that you were once a professional
hockey player in Montreal. How has your
passion for sport influenced your life? I was a professional hockey player in 1941 to
1942. It is not just my interest in sport. I felt
that the city needed two major facilities to recognize the contributions that sports and arts
make to a city. My position and vision was to
make sure that the city had a major arts facility such as the Living Arts Centre and a major
sports facility such as the Hershey Centre and
both have been accomplished.
You recently celebrated your 90th
birthday. What is your secret for a long
and happy life filled with such vigour and
vitality?
I have been blessed with good health. But in
addition to that I think you have to have a
positive attitude. You have to like people and
want to be with people. I do enjoy being out in
the community and the many events. You have
to enjoy that or if it’s a struggle to go then
you don’t enjoy it. I enjoy it and that is why
I have given my full life, my full time outside
the home to the city and to the people. I just
love being with the young people, and with the
adults and the seniors. It’s just a joy. I enjoy it.
I don’t feel it is a task at all. Not at all. If you
call it a task, it is a most enjoyable one.
Mayor Hazel McCallion’s top things to see
and do in Mississauga:
We have some wonderful places that are so
natural. We have the Lake Promenade Park
which has the Port Credit Yacht Club. It has
the Credit Village Marina. It has a sailing
club. It is just a beautiful park. There are
bicycle paths, walking paths where people
can walk along the waterfront. And then we
have Riverwood Park, which is the Chappell Estate which the city purchased. The
park is being developed as a natural garden.
We have Visual Arts, the only facility that
remains now, other than the Chappell house,
is the Visual Arts Centre where the people
can go into the park to display their artwork.
And then we have the general waterfront.
We have a major Salmon Derby with salmon
fishing boats going out from Port Credit. We
have beautiful trails along the waterfront and
trails along the Credit River. We have the different heritage buildings and museums which
are very interesting and display the heritage
of the city.
We have an Art Gallery at City Hall. Now we
are going to have our Mississauga Celebration Square where year-round events will be
happening on the square, very exciting, as
well as special events such as Canada Day,
New Year’s Eve, the Mayor’s Levee and so
forth. And we have all the cultural festivals
that are going to be held on Mississauga Celebration Square. It is going to be a very active
year… We have a wonderful Waterfront Festival considered one of the largest in Ontario.
We have the Bread and Honey Festival that
celebrates the wonderful past history of the
Village of Streetville, a festival which my husband founded and which has been going on
for 25 years. We have the Southside Shuffle.
We have so many things. We preserved the
waterfront for the people. It is a beautiful,
natural waterfront.
Thank you Mayor McCallion.
CANADA’S 6th LARGEST CITY
Created by the amalgamation of 10 smaller communities in 1974, each with its own
rich heritage and history, Mississauga is now Canada’s sixth largest city, third largest in
Ontario and Toronto’s largest neighbour.

population of 734,000. Home to 63 Fortune 500 and 50 Fortune Global 500 Canadian
head offices and major divisional head offices and more than 1,450 multinational
companies, Mississauga is a booming centre of business, industry and commerce
boasting close to 55,000 businesses and a workforce of 418,990 employees.

MISSISSAUGA
DOWNTOWN
Mississauga’s most dynamic spot for gathering
“Civic centres that encompass and surround
public buildings serve as the front porches of
our public institutions…Cities and neighborhoods with thriving civic spaces benefit from
a strong sense of community…What goes on
in the square is what the City is all about…
All the great cities of the world have great
gathering places” Fred Kent, Project for
Public Spaces1.
According to Kent, an international urban
space design specialist (whose organization
Project for Public Spaces works on urban
space projects in 43 countries) very few
cities can attest to such a successful creation
of and rapid transition to creating a sense
of place and gathering as Mississauga has
done with its downtown core and Civic
Centre, especially over the past 5 years.
Mississauga’s vibrant and award-winning
Civic Centre is the heart and soul of the city’s
municipal government, cultural, social, community and commercial activities. It houses
City Hall, the brand-new Mississauga
Celebration Square, the Central Library,
the Living Arts Centre and the Art Gallery
of Mississauga.
Mississauga Celebration
Square — A place where
community comes together.
A gathering place for all of
Mississauga.
New for 2011 is the much-anticipated
grand opening of “Mississauga Celebration
Square” on June 22nd for a City Council
meeting and on July 1st for Canada Day
celebrations. Located just outside of
Mississauga City Hall in the downtown
core, Mississauga Celebration Square is a
vibrant public square and state-of-the-art
multi-media event destination.
It is projected that the newly constructed
Mississauga Celebration Square will
attract over 1 million people a year.
Mississauga Celebration Square will
host a dynamic line-up of over 100
year-round free outdoor events and
festivals that showcase arts, cultural
diversity and entertainment. See pages 11-13

MISSISSAUGA
for a listing of upcoming events on the Square.
Drawing upon the principles of international urban space best practices, taking
into account what features a successful
square should have, and lots of community
input, Mississauga Celebration Square
was conceived of as an outdoor community centre for residents and visitors alike.
The important principle of “10 for urban
spaces”2 has figured prominently in the
design of the square, namely there should
always be at least ten things you can do on
the square at any given time. From large
main stage events and community festivals,
to more intimate gatherings and individual
activities, Mississauga Celebration Square
was designed with comfort and ease of use
in mind.

Mississauga Celebration Square improves
access to City Hall and linking of events on
the Square to the Great Hall and the Central
Library. The architects for the Mississauga
Celebration Square project are Torontobased CS&P Architects.
MISSISSAUGA CIVIC CENTRE
Enjoy a self-guided tour of the Civic Centre.
When you visit the Civic Centre, experience
highlights including the Great Hall, with
marble and granite columns rising more than
three storeys to a 20-metre-high glass skylight; and the 30-metre diameter domed ceiling of the Council Chamber, which depicts
an evening spring sky over Mississauga.
As explained by Mississauga’s Commissioner of Planning and Building, Ed
Sajecki, “great cities of the world are
defined by their public spaces. Mississauga
Celebration Square is one component
of a much broader public space city
centre plan that creates a continuum of
park spaces, public spaces and pedestrian
walkways throughout the downtown core
that continue to enliven and animate the
area for the public to use and enjoy. These
include Scholars’ Green, a new park that
winds itself around the grounds of Sheridan College’s new Mississauga campus
and Community Common, an urban green
space located just northwest of Mississauga Celebration Square.”
View the Mississauga skyline from a panoramic perspective from the Civic Centre’s
landmark Clock Tower. Enjoy refreshments
in the Tower Garden Café or visit the public
Art Gallery of Mississauga which features
works by local and national artists. (Open
year-round, admission is free.) Since opening
in 1997, the Living Arts Centre (LAC) has
quickly become the central spot for arts and
culture in Mississauga.
Mississauga Celebration Square is sure to
become the premier location for City and
Greater Toronto events, connecting residents, visitors and the community.
“Marilyn Monroe and Joe”
–The Absolute Condos Mississauga:
Features of the new square include an enlarged square area, an interactive water feature converting to a skating rink in winter, a
permanent, expandable stage with a secondto-none state-of-the-art distributed sound
system and performance infrastructure and a
digital media wall to support events, provide
interactive art capability and opportunity
for commercial advertising. Mississauga
Celebration Square also features a unique
Community Memorial, a market/vendor
area to support cultural events, and
upgrades to the 300-seat amphitheatre.
The lower square also comprises a large
grassy lawn in front of the stage with an

educational organization dedicated to helping people create and sustain
public spaces that build stronger communities. Their pioneering Placemaking approach helps citizens transform their public spaces into vital
places that highlight local assets, spur rejuvenation and serve common
needs. The organization consulted with the City of Mississauga for the
Mississauga Celebration Square project.
Curvy, iconic, architecturally bold and making
a dramatic visual statement on the Mississauga skyline are the newly constructed
Absolute Condos Mississauga. Conveniently
located within Mississauga’s downtown
core, these uniquely designed modern and
impressive towers have been nicknamed
“Marilyn Monroe and Joe”, one tower being
more curvaceous in design than the other.
They are part of a master-planned condo
community featuring five designer towers
by Fernbrook Homes and Cityzen Development Group. The condo design was selected
via an international design competition,
attracting 90 submissions from 70 countries. The winning design was submitted by Ma
Yansong, Yosuke Hayano and Qun Dand of
Photo: Tom Arban, courtesy of Mad Architects
Mad Architects in Beijing, China.
According to Mad Architects:
“Not only does the tower manifest the power of design, it also serves as a statement to
the surrounding area and the social context.
In the meantime, the cross of Hurontario
Street and Burnhamthorpe road fully embodies its gateway condition to Mississauga’s City Centre in the tower. The building
is sculpture-like in its overall effect, and its
design expresses the universal language of
audacity, sensuality and romance. As the
new landmark of the city of Mississauga,
it will become the icon of the
present landscape with all its twisting
rhythms resembling the human body.
In our design, the continuous balcony
surrounds the whole building, eliminating
the vertical lines used in traditional high
rise architecture to emphasize the height.
The entire building rotates by different
degrees at different levels, which correspond
with sceneries at different heights. Our aim
is to evoke the city dwellers’ aspiration for
nature, and get them in touch with the
sunlight and the wind.”

Mississauga’s waterfront villages
The picturesque waterfront communities of
Port Credit and Clarkson provide stunning
vantage points from which to enjoy Mississauga’s beautiful lakeside setting.
Port credit www.portcredit.com
Picturesquely situated at the mouth of the
Credit River along the northern shore of
Lake Ontario, Port Credit is Mississauga’s
“Village on the Lake”.
A portion of this area, known as “Old Port
Credit Village”, has been designated as an
Ontario Heritage conservation district:
“Human use and activity in the district
predate the government’s village survey by
many thousands of years. The settlement
of the Native Mississauga at the mouth of
the Credit River for over a century, their
resettlement upriver in 1826 and their
significant investment in the Credit Harbour Company in 1834 especially affected
the formation of old Port Credit. Peter
and John Streets are named after Peter
and John Jones, directors in the Credit
Harbour Company and Mississauga chiefs.
26
Peter Jones (Kahkewaquonaby), missionary, translator and author, is provincially
important as a leading figure in the
conversion of the Mississauga and other
Ojibway people to the Methodist branch
of Christianity and their adoption of a
sedentary way of life — farming and
trades. Mississauga Road South, originally
called Joseph Street after Mississauga chief
and Credit Harbour Company director
Joseph Sawyer, preserves in its name the
legacy of the Mississauga people in Port
Credit.” (Excerpted from the Old Port
Credit Village Heritage Conservation
District Plan prepared for the City of
Mississauga, 2004)
One of the oldest settlements in Ontario, the
quaint and nautically themed Port Credit
village is anchored by a harbour on Lake
Ontario and distinctive red and white
working lighthouse with a beaconing light
that can be seen from miles around. (The
Lighthouse also houses the offices of the Port
Credit Business Improvement Area). Port
Credit is an international border entry point
into Canada by water.
The nautical character of Port Credit is in
large part due to the number of well preserved residential and institutional buildings
dating from the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries built by and for those
who made a living on the water — mariners,
sailors, stonehookers, fishermen, wharfingers,
tradesmen and labourers. While all the historical charm remains, a lot has happened in
the ensuing 176 years since the village
was founded.
In 2007, Port Credit was dubbed “the most
happening area in the 905” (the Greater
Toronto area) by National Post reporter Peter
Kuitenbrouer for its artful combination of
small town charm with cosmopolitan flair
and savvy. As you stroll along Port Credit’s
charming streets, you will discover for
yourself a wonderful array of retail shops,
boutiques, and services, restaurants, as well
as an amazing selection of places to go after
dark with live entertainment.
Just north of the main strip, drop by Old Credit
Brewery, one of Ontario’s most established
craft brewers featuring an on-site retail store.
Located on the site of the original ROOTS
apparel store, Old Credit Brewing craft quality
Amber Ale & Pale Pilsner in small batches
with no additives or preservatives to ensure
quality freshness and taste. Quality malts,
imported hops and specially selected yeasts
are used along with charcoal-filtered water
to ensure purity with direct firing in a copper
kettle. The Ale and Pilsner are fully matured
at 8 Weeks at 3.5 degrees below zero.
The expansive Waterfront Trail, numerous
parks, the Credit Village Marina (a marina
for visiting boaters to the city for vessels
up to 45’ in length) and the Lakefront
Promenade Marina (with first class docking
and boating facilities, a licensed outdoor
eatery, a full-service public fuel dock, dryland winter storage, park trails and many
other amenities), are all sites for numerous Mississauga community activities and
events. For dinner with a view, be sure to
visit one of Port Credit’s many fine waterfront restaurants.

For avid fishermen and those who enjoy being on the water, boat charters are available
from the Port Credit Harbour Marina, the
largest freshwater marina in Canada. The
waters of Lake Ontario around Port Credit
are rich in Chinook salmon and Rainbow
trout with smaller catches of Coho salmon,
Atlantic salmon and brown trout.

The 15th Annual Great Ontario Salmon
Derby is North America’s largest fresh
water fishing derby. Fishermen compete
for various weekly prizes including cash,
tackle, rods and reels and, for the heaviest
salmon caught every week — a 2011 Toyota
Matrix! The winner of the overall Derby
wins an exciting Grand Prize package
including a 2011 Toyota Tacoma TRD
Sport, a fishing trip for two, and a
celebration dinner.
The derby attracts both avid and recreational
fishermen alike. In 2009, the fishing derby
was won by a nine year-old boy who used his
late grandfather’s favourite blue lure to reel
in a whopping 34.64 pound Chinook salmon.

Historic Clarkson Village
Located on the eastern edge of Mississauga
along Lakeshore Road is Clarkson village,
founded in 1808. Clarkson is the oldest of
Mississauga’s waterfront communities and
is named after early settler Warren Clarkson.
The community was once recognized as the
“Strawberry Capital of Ontario”. To this day,
events in Clarkson are often celebrated with
Strawberry Socials and strawberry shortcake!
Featuring a main street with a variety of
retail shops, restaurants and services,
Clarkson is also popular with history buffs.
Clarkson’s historic treasures include the
Bradley Museum (c.1830) 1620 Orr Road
and the Benares Historic House (c.1857)
1503 Clarkson Road North. Both museums
are operated by the city’s Museums of Mississauga. The Museums have a rich artifact
collection which spans over 200 years of
Mississauga’s history.
When you visit the Bradley Museum, you can
experience the simple daily life of a farming
family in the early 19th century. Constructed
in 1830 by Lewis and Elizabeth Bradley, this
United Empire Loyalist couple and their
seven children called this modest house
home. Situated in a rural setting, the bright
yellow saltbox style Bradley home is the only
surviving original farmhouse in the area.
For a step back into the early 20th century
around the time of World War I, visit the
Benares Historic House, considered by some
to be the inspiration for Canadian author
Mazo de la Roche’s (1879-1961) famous series
of Whiteoaks of Jalna novels. The author
spent the summers of 1924 – 1928 as the
neighbour of Benares Historic House in the
nearby “Trail Cottage”. (For more information on Museums of Mississauga, see

HISTORIC STREETSVILLE & AREA
Located in northern Mississauga, Streetsville,
Mississauga’s “Village in the City”, sits on
the banks of the Credit River — a quaint
scenic community with fashion boutiques,
jewellery shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and
the largest concentration of historical build-
ings in Mississauga, such as St. Andrew’s
Presbyterian Church, built in 1867.
As befits its heritage status, Streetsville’s
cobblestone lanes and Victorian-style brick
buildings evoke the charm of a bygone era.
Streetsville reflects a long history that in part
documents the proud heritage and growth
of Ontario and Canada. Each storefront and
office is unique in appearance. The historic
homes along Queen Street, the main thoroughfare, have been converted to modern offices,
restaurants and small shops, all within convenient walking distance of eachother.
Shop for a varied selection of goods
including accessories for the home and
garden, vintage clothing and one-of-akind specialty items. Shops offer products,
value and a level of personalized, small
town customer service that Streetsville has
come to be famous for. The essence of Streetsville’s service-related environment originated
in villages like Streetsville all across Ontario
many years ago. The founding spirit and
enthusiasm of those first community leaders
attracts and inspires modern day Streetsville
merchants and service providers every day.
Streetsville festivals include the ever-popular
Bread and Honey Festival held every year
on the first weekend in June.

Leslie Log House
4415 Mississauga Road, Mississauga
While in Streetsville, take a step back in time
as you visit the Leslie Log House, just south
of Eglinton Avenue. The Leslie Log House
joins the Bradley Museum and Benares Historic House as the third site of the Museums
of Mississauga.
The Leslie Log House has been conserved
as an example of early 19th century architecture and the lifestyle led by Mississauga’s
pioneer settlers. Built in 1826, this house
was the original home of John Leslie and
his wife Esther Beatty who came to Upper
Canada in 1824 from Sutherlandshire,
Scotland. The white cedar, story-and-a-half
log home, 26 by 36 feet, remained in the family
for 100 years.
To preserve the structure, the house was
moved from its original location (Derry Road
West and Mississauga Road) to its present
site in 1994.
The building, designated under the Ontario
Heritage Act, was opened to the public
on May 14th, 2011 as the new home of the
Streetsville Historical Society (SHS), in partnership with the Museums of Mississauga,
City of Mississauga.
The Leslie Log House is home to the SHS’s
rich archival and artifact collection
in appropriate museum-quality storage

of the SHS collection, educational programming by the Museums of Mississauga, and
includes a lovely meeting room available for

The Village of Meadowvale
Located in the north-western section of
Mississauga, the village of Meadowvale,
at the junction of Derry Road West and
the Second Line, was first settled in 1820
by Irish immigrants close to the Credit River.
The river provided the power for the mills
and foundry that were built in the area. By the
1850s, Meadowvale had two hotels, a wagon
shop and a school. Later the area became
popular as a haven for artists. Many of the
homes were built in the mid-19th century and
are still standing. In 1980, Meadowvale Village
became the first heritage conservation district
in Ontario.

The MISSISSAUGA MARATHON
The Mississauga Marathon started its first
year in 2004 with a desire to promote Mississauga’s tourism and supply local athletes with
a chance to run within their own communities. Since then, it has grown tremendously
from having 5,000 participants in its first year
to hosting over 10,000 runners this past year.
In just a few years the Mississauga Marathon, which is a certified Boston Qualifier,
has become an internationally recognized
event on marathon calendars with runners

from all over the world. More specifically,
ten Canadian provinces, over fifteen U.S.
States, the United Kingdom, Trinidad, Italy,
Kenya, Costa Rica, Mexico, the Philippines,
Poland, Australia, the Czech Republic, Brazil,
Netherlands, and Switzerland have been
represented since 2004. The Mississauga
Marathon has earned its spot as a premier
event amongst the marathon circuit as well
as the title of the “Fastest Growing Marathon” in Canada!
Today, the Mississauga Marathon offers
a “Run for Everyone”! Participants
have the option of signing up for a Full
Marathon, Corporate/Team Relay, Half
Marathon, 10 km Run, 10 km Student Relay, the Hazel 5 km or the 2 km Family Fun

consistent net downhill course covers
many of Mississauga’s most beautiful residential neighbourhoods and winds
up along the stunning Waterfront Trail
of Lake Ontario before finishing at
Lakefront Promenade Park.
Of course an event of this size could not
be possible without sponsors and volunteers. Each year, the Mississauga Marathon
recruits over 1,500 volunteers to fulfill shifts
at their Runner’s Expo, start and finish lines,
course marshals and aid station groups
along the route. The Marathon also likes to
give back to the community as well. In 2011,
runners generously donated funds to the
Marathon’s nine charities which included
the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada,
Trillium Health Centre Oncology Unit,
Credit Valley Hospital Foundation, United

Chapter, New Circles Community Services
and Cameron Helps.
The 2012 Mississauga Marathon will take
place on Saturday, May 5th and Sunday,
May 6th. Plans are already underway as
the Mississauga Marathon continues to
develop, mature, grow and flourish as one
of the premier running events in the world.
The Mississauga Marathon will also continue
to focus on children, schools and healthy

SPORTS & RECREATION
SPORTS & RECREATION
Golf Mississauga
Mississauga boasts an exceptional diversity
of attractions. Included among these is a
range of golf courses to suit every level and
style of play. Whether you’re a recreational
hacker or a discriminating linksman, there’s
a green oasis awaiting you here!
BraeBen Golf Course
Located on the highest point of land in the
city, BraeBen offers can’t-miss vistas of
Mississauga’s impressive landscape. With
an 18-hole championship course, a 9-hole
academy course, and full banquet facilities,
this course has something for everyone.
The championship course, fully open to
the public, is a dramatic journey of varied
terrain, intimidating fescue, thick vegetation
and immaculate fairways accented by sodwalled bunkers—features that collectively
call to mind the early days of golf. And, like
the Scottish highlands, wind comes into play
in almost any round, so whether you opt
for the red, white, blue or black tees, every
aspect of your game will be put to the test.
BraeBen’s 9-hole, par 3 course is tops among
those in the province and home to a renowned
teaching academy whose certified instructors
teach individual and group lessons in a congenial, relaxed atmosphere. During the summer
months, BraeBen hosts Nike-sponsored junior
golf camps for kids aged 7 to 16.
Beyond the pleasurable golf tracks, BraeBen
features outstanding amenities, including a
double-ended driving range, a clubhouse pub
with outdoor patio, a fully stocked pro shop,
a 200-seat dining room with 180-degree
windows, and affordable rates that earned
the course Golf Digest’s coveted “Best Bang
for Buck” rating.
BraeBen is more than just a great golf course,
however; it is also a source of great pride to
the city’s residents. Its highlands-style terrain
provides sanctuary to an assorted wildlife
population, including hawks, falcons, coyotes,
and foxes, and, with a green energy system
that provides renewable energy sufficient to
power over 5,000 homes in Mississauga, significantly reducing the city’s carbon footprint,
it is also an ecological tour de force. In other
words, as a golf course, BraeBen is truly green.
Mississaugua Golf and Country Club
One of the oldest and most prestigious golf clubs
40
in Canada, Mississaugua Golf and Country
Club rests on a site first visited by Governor
Sir John Simcoe in 1793. Simcoe and his
party, paddling up the Credit River, rounded
a bend (by the current 15th hole) and came
upon a forest clearing. It wasn’t until more
than a century later, however, that the land
was claimed for its current use, when a
committee ousted from the Old Highlands
Golf Club due to Toronto’s rapid westward
expansion came upon it. Having traveled
south to the lake along old Mississauga Road,
they happened upon what is now the lawn
in front of the clubhouse and caught sight
of some apple trees. One of the party, a man
named John Hall, strolled to the edge of the
hill overlooking the valley and was awestruck by the view. He told his companions,
“We have found the promised land!” and
to drive the point home (no pun intended),
he dropped a golf ball onto the ground and
smacked it into the valley below.
Soon the old farmhouse sitting on the property was converted into club headquarters
and the upper part of the barn into a locker
room and men’s sleeping quarters. A few
years after, in 1912, construction began on the
present clubhouse and other amenities, and
it wasn’t long before Mississaugua became
the jewel it is today. Six-time host of the
Canadian Open and numerous other professional events, the club occupies 240 acres
and includes a curling rink and four fully lit
tennis courts in order for its members to enjoy it year-round. In addition to the 20-hole
golf course, the club features an 18-hole putting green, a new bunker and pitching area,
an extensive driving range, a fully equipped
pro shop, and a beautiful banquet hall perfect
for hosting events up to 200 people. Oh, and
no, the name isn’t a typo.
Lakeview Golf Course
Since the likes of Tommy Armour, Gene
Sarazen and Walter Hagen battled for Canada’s
national golfing crown, Lakeview Golf Course
has changed little — and thank goodness for
that. The exquisite parkland-style layout was a
treat then and remains a treat today.
At its present location since 1907 and a community favourite since its inception, Lakeview
is as stimulating as it is challenging, characterized by deceptively tricky fairways, large yet
nuanced greens, and memorable individual
holes, including the 591-yard fifth and 466yard sixteenth, both voted as favourites by
MasterCard Memorial Cup
May, 2011
Toronto golfers. But Lakeview’s appeal runs
deeper than its great golf course. Rich with
lore, the course has seen numerous unforgettable moments and events during its history,
starting with the initial prospectus in which
Rosedale Golf Club professional W.J. Lock
estimated that construction of an 18-hole
course could be accomplished for about $99.
The feat was accomplished, and an article
in Outdoor Canada offered moderate praise
for the new course, noting in particular the
750-yard ninth hole, “indisputably the longest
in Canada.” Despite the fact that railway lines
split the two nine-hole halves, the course
flourished, soon becoming a major draw for
those in the area.
In fact, when the club earned the right to host
the Canadian golf championship, club president
F.A.N. Powell was so concerned about making it
championship-worthy that he brought in New
York architect Herbert Strong to lead a redesign,
and the results were so effective that none of the
two hundred entrants in the 1923 tournament
(which for the first time charged spectators a fee
of one dollar) shot par in any round, nor would
any participant in the event do so for the next
eleven years. But the players lauded the admirable test the club offered, and as its reputation
grew, so did its visibility. It didn’t take long for
Lakeview to become an enduring favourite, and
it remains so today. Still, golf luminaries like
Armour, Sarazen and Hagen aside, the most
important figure in the club’s history is a cocker
spaniel named Buddy. When flames ignited in
Lakeview’s clubhouse on the early morning of
July 21, 1939, it was Buddy’s barking that awoke
Martha Andrews, the housekeeper, who in turn
alerted the other staff and guests, allowing them
all to escape unharmed.
Grand Highland Golf Club
The new kid on the block in Mississauga’s
golf scene and a perfect complement to the
championship-length courses, Grand
Highland Golf Club was introduced in 1994
and has been winning kudos ever since. Conveniently located in the heart of the city, the
par-three, nine-hole executive course offers
charming views of the cityscape and an ideal
opportunity for anyone wanting to practice
their short game or get in a quick morning or
afternoon round.
MasterCard Memorial Cup
in Mississauga
From May 20 – 29th, 2011, Mississauga hosted
the 93rd edition of the prestigious MasterCard Memorial Cup, a national championship featuring champions of the Ontario
Hockey League, the Western Hockey League,
and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League,
along with the host team the Mississauga Majors. This tournament represents the pinnacle
of junior hockey in North America.
The official arrival of Memorial Cup to
Mississauga’s new Celebration Square took
place on May 19th. The event included a rededication ceremony of a unique Community
Memorial and tribute performance by Mississauga’s Michael Ciufo. The Memorial Cup
is one of the most prestigious and coveted
trophies in North American sports. It has
a rich tradition that has shaped the way
junior hockey is played today. The trophy
was originally known as the OHA Memorial
Cup and was donated by the Ontario Hockey
Association in March 1919, in remembrance
of the many soldiers who paid the supreme
sacrifice for Canada in The First World War.

FISHING, CONSERVATION & THE DERBY
MISSISSAUGA
FISHING, CONSERVATION &
THE DERBY
“People are often shocked to learn that some of the best salmon fishing in North America takes place in Lake Ontario. Each
year, thousands of sportfishing enthusiasts ply Lake Ontario’s waters from Whitby to Niagara Falls in search of chinook
and coho salmon. Efforts are under way to reintroduce native Atlantic salmon and there are well-established populations
of rainbow trout, brown trout and lake trout. Charters that supply all the equipment you need are easy to book and they
provide a great way to see our city by the lake.” -Brian Lambie, Co-Founder PCSTA
Get hooked
“Atlantic salmon are an important part of
the natural and cultural heritage of the Lake
Ontario basin. Their ancestors migrated
from saltwater in the post-glacial period and
adapted to freshwater inland. They require cool,
fast waters and clean habitat; as an indicator
species, their survival is solid evidence that an
aquatic ecosystem is healthy.” Ontario Ministry
of Natural Resources www.mnr.gov.on.ca
Geographical features and natural attributes
define a real sense of place and history for
a city. For Mississauga, the Credit River and
Lake Ontario are two of those majestic,
defining features.
Fed by two main sources — one from Orangeville north of Mississauga, the other from
Erin to the west, the Credit River forms at
the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park near
Caledon, Ontario after separately flowing
over the escarpment with two beautiful falls
and then meandering south and through
44
Mississauga, emptying into Lake Ontario at
Port Credit.
Native people had been attracted to the
Credit River Valley over thousands of years.
In the 1720s, the French established many
trading posts around Lake Ontario, one of
which was located near the mouth of the
Credit River, so named after the custom of
trading with the Mississaugas Native peoples
on credit. The rich, fertile soil surrounding the Credit River Valley then attracted
settlers to the area which was to eventually
become Mississauga.
“Atlantic salmon once thrived in Lake Ontario and were an abundant natural resource for
Aboriginal communities and early settlers…
Prior to European settlement, it is estimated
25,000 to 70,000 tonnes of adult Atlantic
salmon returned to spawn annually in North
America… As the area was developed, farming, logging, and the construction of dams
Photo: PCSTA
contributed to the reduction and degradation
of critical habitat, and overfishing took its
toll. By the late 1800s, Atlantic salmon had
disappeared from Lake Ontario and
its tributaries…
In 2006, the Ontario Federation of Anglers
and Hunters joined with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources to launch the first
phase of Bring Back the Salmon, also known
as the Lake Ontario Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program, with the help of major sponsor
Australia’s Banrock Station Wines, the LCBO,
Canadian Sportfishing Industry Association
and Fleming College. In May, 2011, Bring
Back the Salmon launched Phase II with
support from new title sponsor, Ontario
Power Generation, and more than 40 partners who have contributed to the success of
this historic effort to restore self-sustaining
populations of Atlantic Salmon to Lake
Ontario and its tributaries.” The Lake
Ontario Atlantic Salmon Restoration
Program www.bringbackthesalmon.ca.
To further encourage salmon and other
coldwater fish species to spawn in
the Credit River, and to establish strong
populations of these fish in Lake Ontario,
the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
and partners have undertaken a number of
initiatives such as:
• Planting trees along river banks to prevent
eroded soil sediments, farm nutrients and
other pollutants from entering the water.
The additional shade also lowers water
temperatures.
• Improved fencing to prevent livestock
entering streams.
• Making it easy for fish to swim around culverts, dams and other barriers to migration.
• Altering dams so that water downstream is
cooler. Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources www.mnr.gov.on.ca
Another important partner in this process
is the Credit River Angler’s Association
(CRAA). The CRAA is a watershed group
working on the entire watershed and all
species within. The CRAA’s main focus is on
sport fish, (trout, Atlantic and Pacific salmon
and bass), but the work they do benefits
everyone and everything in the Credit River
valley — from birds to animals to other valley
users through carefully planned conservation work. CRAA’s foremost objectives are
45
a pristine river, with stable flows, reduced
silt and flooding, a healthy valley with dense
forest cover and improved groundwater.
CRAA has completed over $500,000 in
stream rehabilitation over the past 13 years
with 117,000 native trees planted, stocking of
over 1.5 million steelhead, brown trout and
Atlantic salmon, countless stream rehabilitation works and over 25,000 volunteer hours
logged. Funding from the MNR’s CFWIP,
MNR’s Fish and Wildlife Budget, the Toronto
Sportsmen’s Club — Great Ontario Salmon
Derby, Environment Canada’s Eco-Action
2000, Ontario’s Trillium Fund, City of
Mississauga, Mayor Hazel McCallion Golf
Tournament CRAA’s fund raising, Port Credit
and Promenade Launch Program, Shell
Canada, local corporations and donations
from the Credit Valley Conservation, MNR
and Home Depot continue to help CRAA
reach their goals. www.craa.on.ca
In 2010 ,The Port Credit Salmon and Trout
Association, (PCSTA) was created to further
nurture and promote the historic migratory
salmon fishery on Lake Ontario. In April 2011,
the PCSTA released 5,000 three inch-long
baby Chinook salmon hatched from eggs
collected from the Credit River last fall into
a special pen in Port Credit Harbour. Kept in
their pens for approximately six weeks until
they tripled in size, the salmon were then
released into Lake Ontario.
Thanks to all of these efforts the Credit
River today boasts huge runs of Chinook
salmon and steelhead as well as some coho,
pink and Atlantic salmon. The steelhead run
is estimated to be over 10,000 fish every year.
The steelhead first enter the river in late
August with fresh fish still available in midMay. The Credit’s steelhead are currently
90% wild fish and that number has been
steadily increasing due to the work by the
Credit River Anglers Association (CRAA ).
PCSTA Co-founder Wayne Andrew of
Andrew’s Charters adds “Lake Ontario is
a major destination for sport fishing with
the area around Mississauga and Toronto
particularly good for salmon fishing. Port
Credit/Bronte ranked third and Toronto
ranked seventh amongst the top twenty Pacific
Salmon Fishing destinations published by
Outdoor Canada. The Chinook salmon industry
(around 25,000 adults every year) on Lake
Ontario is estimated to contribute about $180
million annually to the province’s economy.
46
Port Credit is home to a large fleet of salmon
fishing boats and charter operations, as well
as the Great Ontario Salmon Derby, the largest inland water sport fishing competition in
North America. Although conditions may vary
from year to year, trophy salmon for the Great
Ontario Salmon Derby typically weigh in at
about 30-32 lbs. for the weekly prize and app
roach 40 lbs for the grand prize. The official
World Records are 79.2 pounds for an Atlantic
Salmon caught in 1928, 33.4 pounds for a
Coho Salmon caught on Sept 27, 1989 and 97.4
pounds for a Chinook salmon caught on May
17, 1985. The largest caught in Lake Ontario
was 46.4 lbs.”
Several parks and conservation areas along
the Credit River offer angling opportunity
during the open season for trouts and
salmon. Erindale Park situated in the middle
of Mississauga is open to salmon and trout
fishing all year and produces a lot of fish. It is
not uncommon to see 250 anglers at this part
of the river when a big run is on, but there is
plenty of room for all.
Thanks to the work of the Ontario Ministry
of Natural Resources, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, the Credit
River Anglers Association, the Port Credit
Salmon and Trout Association and the
Lake Ontario Atlantic Salmon Restoration
Program, as well of many other organizations and volunteers, the Credit River is
now a well-protected and thriving natural
resource. Environmental laws have ensured
that the entire river valley is free from
development and is left in a natural state
to be enjoyed by all. Deer, coyotes, fox and
other wildlife live in the valley. You would
not even know you were in a city at all when
you are by the river.

up of vast forests, with many lots designated
as masting lots, where the trees were harvested for masts on the King’s sailing ships.
As settlement came, small hamlets and villages sprang up at major crossroads all over
what is today the City of Mississauga. You
can visit these “lost villages” today — places
such as Pucky Huddle, Frogmore, Mount
Charles, and Summerville, to name but a few.
To help you on your tour “Journey to the
Past: The Lost Villages of Mississauga”
can be purchased from Heritage Mississauga
to give you the full story on these interesting
lost places.

MISSISSAUGA IS A SHOPPER’S PARADISE
