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 Sauga 50-for-50, we want to celebrate and commemorate the people and stories that make up the city of Mississauga. But why is this so important?
Some of the greatest people we meet, just happen to be those we love the most. But there hasn’t always been a way to capture their legacy. Until now. Heritage Mississauga is giving you the opportunity, to record your story or the story of someone you love. So that their lasting history lives on and can be preserved for future generations. Everyone has a story. From the Indigenous Mississaugas to the early settlers whose toil shaped this modern landscape to those who arrived in Canada only yesterday. At Heritage Mississauga, it’s our job to record those stories. We believe in celebrating our cultural heritage. We believe everyone’s story matters. And we look to you, to help us find those stories or to tell your own. We want the story of Mississauga to not be one of just city buildings, suburbia, and street names, but of the people, faces and stories, of those who live here.
To tell your story, email us at outreach@heritagemississauga.org
