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.

2024 marks the 50th Anniversary of the City of Mississauga. Today, and for much of that 50-year period, City Centre has been centered around Square One. But, did you know that that's not always how it was? Cooksville used to be our Civic Centre. So why the switch? Well, that has a lot to do with the Carr family farm...or rather the lack thereof. Join Heritage Mississauga's Justine Lyn and Melissa Toste as they delve into the fascinating story on this episode of #Sauga50for50 on Heritage Bytes.
