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.

Earlier this month, we discussed early Black settlers in historic Mississauga, but today we wanted to discuss our current Black communities in Mississauga. Where do most people originate from? Who are some of the most influential Black leaders? What barriers have our communities encountered and how are we trying to overcome these obstacles? Join Justine Lyn and Melissa Toste as they delve into these questions and more, this time on Sauga 50-for-50.
