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.

Join us this week on Sauga 50-for-50 as we remember former Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion. February 14th marks what would have been her 103rd birthday, and a year since we all said our goodbyes to Hurricane Hazel. It is at this time of year that we remember her memory and fiery spirit.
This week, we dug through our vaults to share with you a special presentation of Hazel McCallion's Milestone Lecture at the 2003 Mary Fix Memorial Lecture. The theme of the highly anticipated lecture was the celebration of civic heritage and spirit during which Hazel McCallion provided a self assessment of her 25 years as Mayor, as of November 2003, and reflected on her many years of service in public office. Please enjoy the inspiring words of our former (and longest serving) Mayor, Hazel McCallion, this time on Sauga 50-for-50.
