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.

From the Philippines to Mississauga: The Story of the Natnat Family and Edal’s Kitchen
Growing up poor, surrounded by rice fields in rural Philippines, Alma could never have imagined that one day she would be happily settled in Canada surrounded by her large family. But life has a way of surprising us!
Listen and you meet Alma Natnat and learn about her incredible story of dreaming big and how she keeps her Filipino roots alive in her Mississauga home.
Thank you to the Natnat family for sharing their story and to the Ontario Trillium Foundation, who provided funding for this project.
