You don‘t have time to read through endless volumes of history books, you want to be a historic know-it-all now! Heritage Bytes explores the history, heritage, and culture, of Canada‘s 6th largest city. Each episode gives you a byte sized slice of the history of Mississauga from the beginnings over 10,000 years ago through milestones in history such as the War of 1812, the World Wars, and the development of a city through the amalgamation of lost villages. We look at the historic people, places, and events, that define our city today, including peering into the Darker Side of our history. Join us as we explore the historic connections to Mississauga and each other.

This week on Ask A Historian, Matthew Wilkinson explores the history of some of the many cenotaphs that can be found throughout Mississauga.
The cenotaphs in Mississauga provide residents and visitors a place of remembrance; a place to collectively gather to honour and remember those who have served and paid the ultimate sacrifice during times of conflict.
We invite you to join one of the many ceremonies that will be taking place throughout Mississauga on November 11th in recognition of Remembrance Day.
