Sauga 50-for-50: Commemorating Cultural Heritage

This week on Sauga 50-for-50, we want to celebrate and commemorate the people and stories that make up the city of Mississauga. But why is this so important?

Some of the greatest people we meet, just happen to be those we love the most. But there hasn’t always been a way to capture their legacy. Until now. Heritage Mississauga is giving you the opportunity, to record your story or the story of someone you love. So that their lasting history lives on and can be preserved for future generations. Everyone has a story. From the Indigenous Mississaugas to the early settlers whose toil shaped this modern landscape to those who arrived in Canada only yesterday. At Heritage Mississauga, it’s our job to record those stories. We believe in celebrating our cultural heritage. We believe everyone’s story matters. And we look to you, to help us find those stories or to tell your own. We want the story of Mississauga to not be one of just city buildings, suburbia, and street names, but of the people, faces and stories, of those who live here. 

To tell your story, email us at outreach@heritagemississauga.org
