Join us for "Historic Mississauga and the War of 1812" as we journey back in time and view our documentary on the War of 1812 with re-enactors telling the story of how historic Mississauga was involved during this time.
This two part series gives the listeners a history of the War of 1812 as well as peek into the lived history of the soldiers of the 2nd Regt. of York Militia - Thompson's Company.
The 2nd Regiment of York Militia - Thompson's Company, is a group of living history enthusiasts who, through research and living history, recreate the lives of soldiers and civilians of Toronto township during the War of 1812.
The original Company served in the War of 1812 as part of the 2nd Regiment of York Militia. It is named for Captain William Thompson who served with the 2nd Regiment of York Militia during the war.
The reenactment company was formed to honour the contributions of volunteer militiamen and First Nations people from Toronto Township (now the City of Mississauga) who served in the 2nd Regiment of the York Militia. Many of them were present at and participated in many of the battles in the War of 1812 along the Niagara frontier, including Chippawa, Fort Detroit, Fort Erie, Fort George, Fort York, Lundy’s Lane, Queenston Heights, St. David’s and Stoney Creek.
Thompson’s Company functions, in part, as an educational component of Heritage Mississauga by participating in community events, functions and through reenactments. Members come from across Peel Region representing a range of ages and walks of life.

Today’s case is a crime of brute force. A brazen double homicide. A killer on the loose. Village tours through a house of death. A race against the clock to catch the killer--on Christmas Day!
Was it the neighbour who raised the alarm? Was it the brother-in-law set to inherit? Or was it the missing farmhand no one seems to remember?
These are the murders of James and Eliza Williams. From the case files of Heritage Mississauga, this is Mississauga Confidential.
