MISSISSAUGA DOWNTOWN
Mississauga is creating a place with a variety of experiences for residents and visitors alike. From shopping to entertainment, education and quiet reflection, Mississaugas downtown offers it all. Downtown is a place for people, alive with entertainment and concerts for all generations, programs for fun and for health and wellness and cultural festivals highlighting the citys rich diversity. Mississaugas parks and open spaces provide a chance to slow down in this bustling city core. The urban core continues to grow and the skyline re-invents itself as the vision for Mississaugas downtown is realized. Mississaugas vibrant downtown
Mississauga Celebration Square
core is the heart and soul of the citys municipal government, cultural, social, community and commercial activities. Here you will find City Hall, the award-winning Mississauga Celebration Square, the Central Library, the Living Arts Centre, the provinces largest shopping mall (and second largest in Canada) Square One Shopping Centre and the Art Gallery of Mississauga. The downtown is home to the Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning with the University of Toronto Mississauga, located minutes away. With a

mix of office buildings, retail development and residential condominiums, downtown offers business opportunities and access to markets locally, in the Greater Toronto Area, nationally and internationally. The Downtown21 Master Plan, a planning document for the area, sets out a vision for creating a more vibrant downtown in Mississauga. That means Mississaugas downtown will have great walkable streets to shop or visit, restaurants and outdoor cafs. It will have great places like public squares, parks and outdoor markets, with an entertainment district and a range of venues to experience the arts and culture that our diverse city has to offer. All this will be available to visitors, residents, as well as people who come to visit and work downtown. Getting downtown will be easier - an expanded network of bike paths and improved transit will move you in and around the city while providing the sustainable connections that employees and businesses need across the Greater Toronto Area. There are also exciting plans to expand the citys public transit system with Light Rail Transit (LRT) along Hurontario Street. The LRT will connect Mississaugas Downtown with Port Credit to the south and with Brampton to the north. Also underway is the build of the new Transitway along Highway 403. The Transitway connects east and western destinations of the city through the downtown. MISSISSAUGA CELEBRATION SQUARE Cities and neighborhoods with thriving civic spaces benefit from a strong sense of community What goes on in the square is what the city is all aboutAll the great cities of the world have great gathering places Fred Kent, Project for Public Spaces 1. Located adjacent to Mississauga City Hall in the heart of downtown, Mississauga Celebration Square is a vibrant public square and state-of-the-art multi-media event destination. Mississauga Celebration Square provides a critical focus point and highly significant
connection to the emerging Downtown, Civic Centre and city as a whole, serving as the friendly front porch of the area where people can get together, mix, mingle and enjoy themselves. From large main stage events and community festivals, to more intimate gatherings and individual activities, Mississauga Celebration Square was designed for comfort and ease of use. Hosting a dynamic line-up of year-round free outdoor events, amazing entertainment programming, markets and festivals that showcase the arts, cultural diversity and entertainment of the city (see pages 9- 12 for a listing of upcoming events), Mississauga Celebration Square draws upon the principles of international urban space best practices as an outdoor community centre for everyone. Mississauga Celebration Square won an Award of Excellence through the citys annual Urban Design Awards Program. The Awards Program is now celebrating 32 years of recognizing architecture and urban design excellence in Mississauga. The Awards also recognize the important contribution of the development industry in creating great buildings, landscapes, open spaces and elements of urban design which shape and positively benefit the public realm. Features of Mississauga Celebration Square include an enlarged square area, an interactive water feature converting to a skating rink in winter, a permanent, expandable stage with a second-to-none, state-of-the-art distributed sound system and performance infrastructure and a digital media wall to support events, provide interactive art capability and opportunity for commercial advertising. Mississauga Celebration Square also features a Memorial monument, a market/vendor area to support cultural events, and upgrades to the 300-seat amphitheatre. The lower square also comprises a large turf area in front of the stage. Architects for the Mississauga Celebration Square project are Toronto-based CS&P Architects.

Its an exciting addition to Mississaugas Downtown, building on the urban buzz and activity in the Civic District that exists today. A unique feature associated with the entry to the campus is the construction of the first Downtown Roundabout.
Downtown Mississauga
As explained by Mississaugas Commissioner of Planning and Building, Ed Sajecki, great cities of the world are defined by their public spaces. Mississauga Celebration Square is one component of a much broader public space city centre plan that creates a continuum of park spaces, public spaces and pedestrian walkways throughout the downtown core that continue to enliven and animate the area for the public to use and enjoy. These include Scholars Green, a three acre park that winds itself around the grounds of Sheridan Colleges new Mississauga campus and Community Common, an urban green space located just northwest of Mississauga Celebration Square. Community Common Park is a significant addition to the Downtown. It was completed in 2011 and creates an important east-west connection linking new and existing public parks and spaces, including Mississauga

MISSISSAUGAS WATERFRONT VILLAGES ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL VIEW!

Mississaugas waterfront villages make the most of the citys beautiful lakeside setting. The picturesque waterfront communities of Port Credit and Clarkson offer stunning vantage points from which to enjoy the view. PORT CREDIT www.portcredit.com Situated at the mouth of the Credit River, along the northern shore of Lake Ontario, is picturesque Port Credit - Mississaugas Village on the Lake. Always On, Always Electric! - Port Credit is one of the citys top cultural, entertainment and culinary districts boasting world class restaurants and award-winning festivals and events. With unique shops and services, Port Credit is also an ideal destination for shopping and exploring. For sports fishing enthusiasts, Port Credit is the Salmon Capital of Ontario,featuring the largest charter boat fleet on Lake Ontario. A Canada Day event which includes a parade, a Busker Fest, a Farmers Market and an Art Show along the Waterfront Trail all these things add to Port Credits exciting vibrancy. One of the oldest settlements in Ontario, the quaint and nautically themed Port Credit village is anchored by a harbour on Lake Ontario and distinctive red and white working lighthouse with a beaconing light that can be seen from miles around, welcoming everyone who approaches. (The Lighthouse also houses the offices of the Port Credit Business Improvement Area). Port Credit is an international border entry point into Canada by water. The nautical character of Port Credit is in large part due to the number of preserved residential and commercial buildings dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries built by and for those who made a living on the water mariners, sailors, stonehookers, fishermen, wharfingers, tradesmen and labourers. A portion of this area, known as Old Port Credit Village, has been designated as an Ontario Heritage conservation district:
Port Credit

CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Human use and activity in the district predate the governments village survey by many thousands of years. The settlement of the Native Mississauga at the mouth of the Credit River for over a century, their resettlement upriver in 1826 and their significant investment in the Credit Harbour Company in 1834 especially affected the formation of Old Port Credit. Peter and John Streets are named after Peter and John Jones, directors in the Credit Harbour Company and Mississauga chiefs. Peter Jones (Kahkewaquonaby), missionary, translator and author, is provincially important as a leading figure in the conversion of the
Mississauga and other Ojibway people to the Methodist branch of Christianity and their adoption of a sedentary way of life farming and trades. Mississauga Road South, originally called Joseph Street after Mississauga chief and Credit Harbour Company director Joseph Sawyer, preserves in its name the legacy of the Mississauga people in Port Credit. (Excerpted from the Old Port Credit Village Heritage Conservation District Plan prepared for the City of Mississauga, 2004) While all the historical charm remains, a lot has happened in the ensuing 178 years since the village was founded.

The winner of the overall Derby wins an exciting Grand Prize package including a 2013 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 Double Cab V6, a fishing trip for two, and a celebration dinner. The derby attracts both avid and recreational fishermen alike.

novels. The author spent the summers of 1924 - 1928 as the neighbour of Benares Historic House in the nearby Trail Cottage, a small home she built on land purchased from the Harris family of Benares. Jalna was written while Mazo was living here. When the Literary Review of Canada released its list of Canadas top 100 most important books in 2006, it included Mazo de la Roches 1927 novel Jalna, calling it the quintessential Canadian novel. Jalna catapulted Mazo to international fame in April, 1927 when it received a $10,000 literary award from Atlantic Monthly Magazine. JALNA was the first in a series of sixteen books about the fictional Whiteoaks family and their southern Ontario estate, Jalna. The books have sold over 12 million copies in English as well as in translation to a number of languages.

Leslie Log House
While in Streetsville, take a step back in time as you visit the Leslie Log House, 4415 Mississauga Road, Mississauga, just south of Eglinton Avenue. The Leslie Log House joins the Bradley Museum and Benares Historic House as the third site of the Museums of Mississauga. The Leslie Log House has been conserved as an example of early 19th century architecture and the lifestyle led by Mississaugas pioneer settlers. Built in 1826, this house was the original home of John Leslie and his wife Esther Beatty who came to Upper Canada in 1824 from Sutherlandshire, Scotland. The white cedar, story-and-a-half log home, 26 by 36 feet, remained in the family for 100 years. To preserve the structure, the house was moved from its original location (Derry Road West and Mississauga Road) to its present site in 1994. The building, designated under the Ontario Heritage Act was opened to the public in 2011 as the new home of the Streetsville Historical Society (SHS), in partnership with the Museums of Mississauga, City of Mississauga. The Leslie Log House is home to the SHSs rich archival and artifact collection
in appropriate museum-quality storage upstairs. The main floor features exhibits of the SHS collection, educational programming by the Museums of Mississauga, and includes a lovely meeting room available for meetings and social occasions. The Village of Meadowvale Located in the north-western section of Mississauga, the village of Meadowvale, at the junction of Derry Road West and the Second Line, was first settled in 1820 by Irish immigrants close to the Credit River. The river provided the power for the mills and foundry that were built in the area. By the 1850s, Meadowvale had two hotels, a wagon shop and a school. Later the area became popular as a haven for artists. Many of the homes were built in the mid-19th century and are still standing. In 1980, Meadowvale Village became the first heritage conservation district in Ontario.

SPORTS & LIVING RECREATION GREEN
Living Green every day in Mississauga

Mississauga is dedicated to providing its citizens with the opportunity to live green every day. From hundreds of parks to green open spaces and an achievable approach to delivering on its forward-thinking environmental goals, Mississauga takes the actions that help create a clean and healthy natural environment for the community. As Canadas sixth largest city, what Mississauga says and does on environmental issues gets noticed. These actions are captured in the Living Green Master Plan (LGMP) a plan that aims to change goals into actions and environmentally-conscious ideas into city standards. To help the city achieve its environmental goals, Mississauga Council approved the Living Green Master Plan in January 2012 following broad public consultation with the community. Implementation of the LGMP is underway. The Living Green Master Plan is a roadmap for making the community clean and green year-round. Its an action plan that will be accomplished by combining the efforts of residents, city staff and community leaders over the next decade. Through the LGMP Mississauga will: Set an example in areas such as transportation, natural heritage, green buildings, water, waste and energy strategies; Encourage others in areas such as green development, air quality management partnerships, energy plans and education programs; and Compel others through new developments and by-laws that enhance the green system. For Mississauga, a healthy natural environment, a strong economy and a high standard of living are seen as key features for a successful community. By making sustainable living a Mississauga priority, the Living Green Master Plan, Mississaugas Strategic Plan and other master plans like the Culture Master Plan and Economic Development Strategy create the foundation for success in all three areas.

FISHING, CONSERVATION & THE DERBY
FISHING, CONSERVATION & THE GREAT ONTARIO SALMON DERBY

People are often shocked to learn that some of the best salmon fishing in North America takes place in Lake Ontario. Each year, thousands of sportfishing enthusiasts ply Lake Ontarios waters from Whitby to Niagara Falls in search of Chinook and coho salmon. Efforts are underway to reintroduce native Atlantic salmon and there are well-established populations of rainbow trout, brown trout and lake trout. Charters that supply all the equipment you need are easy to book and they provide a great way to see our city by the lake. Brian Lambie, Co-Founder Port Credit Salmon and Trout Association (PCSTA) GET HOOKED Lake Ontario is a major destination for sport fishing with the area around Mississauga and Toronto particularly good for salmon fishing. Port Credit/Bronte ranked third and Toronto ranked seventh amongst the top twenty Pacific Salmon Fishing destinations published by Outdoor Canada. The Chinook salmon industry (around 25,000 adults every year) on Lake Ontario is estimated to contribute about $180 million annually to the provinces economy. Port Credit is home to a large fleet of salmon fishing boats and charter operations, as well as one of the
56
Credit River
locations of the Great Ontario Salmon Derby, the largest inland water sport fishing competition in North America. This year we welcome to our Andrews fleet the Unreel, 61 feet - the largest fishing charter boat on Lake Ontario. Although conditions may vary from year to year, trophy salmon for the Great Ontario Salmon Derby typically weigh in at about 30-32 lbs. for the weekly prize and approach 40 lbs. for the grand prize. The largest caught in Lake Ontario was 46.4 lbs. PCSTA Co-founder Wayne Andrew of Andrews Charters In 2010, the PCSTA was created to nurture and promote the migratory salmon fishery on Lake Ontario. In early April, 2013, the PCSTA released 10,000 young Chinook salmon into a special pen in Port Credit Harbour. Kept in their pens for approximately three weeks, the salmon were then released into Lake Ontario. Thanks to all of these efforts the Credit River today boasts huge runs of Chinook salmon and steelhead as well as some coho, pink and Atlantic salmon. Chinook Salmon and steelhead first enter the river in late August with Steelhead available through the winter until the end of
May. Numbers have been steadily increasing due to the work of the Credit River Anglers Association (CRAA ). For the 2011 1012 season, 19,300 was the estimated steelhead run - a record with 86.2 per cent wild! Several parks and conservation areas along the Credit River offer angling opportunities during the open season for trout and salmon. Erindale Park situated in the middle of Mississauga is open to salmon and trout fishing all year and produces a lot of fish. It is not uncommon to see 250 anglers at this part of the river when a big run is on, but there is plenty of room for all. Deer, coyotes, fox and other wildlife live in the valley. You would not even know you were in a city at all when you are by the river. A HERITAGE SPECIES Atlantic salmon are an important part of the natural and cultural heritage of the Lake Ontario basin. Their ancestors migrated from saltwater in the post-glacial period and adapted to freshwater inland. They require cool, fast waters and clean habitat; as an indicator species, their survival
57
Credit River
is solid evidence that an aquatic ecosystem is healthy. Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources www.mnr.gov.on.ca Geographical features and natural attributes define a real sense of place and history for a city. For Mississauga, the Credit River and Lake Ontario are two of those majestic, defining features. Fed by two main sources one from Orangeville north of Mississauga, the other from Erin to the west, the Credit River forms at the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park near Caledon, Ontario after separately flowing over the escarpment with two beautiful falls and then meandering south and through Mississauga, emptying into Lake Ontario at Port Credit. Native people had been attracted to the Credit River Valley over thousands of years. In the 1720s, the French established many trading posts around Lake Ontario, one located near the mouth of the Credit River, so named after
the custom of trading with the Mississaugas Native peoples on credit. The rich, fertile soil surrounding the Credit River Valley then attracted settlers to the area which was to eventually become Mississauga. Atlantic salmon once thrived in Lake Ontario and were an abundant natural resource for Aboriginal communities and early settlers Prior to European settlement, it is estimated 25,000 to 70,000 tonnes of adult Atlantic salmon returned to spawn annually in North America As the area was developed, farming, logging, and the construction of dams contributed to the reduction and degradation of critical habitat, and overfishing took its toll. By the late 1800s, Atlantic salmon had disappeared from Lake Ontario and its tributaries In 2006, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters joined with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources to launch the first phase of Bring Back the Salmon, also known as the Lake Ontario Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program,
58
with the help of major sponsor Australias Banrock Station Wines, the LCBO, the Canadian Sportfishing Industry Association and Fleming College. In May, 2011, Bring Back the Salmon launched Phase II with support from the new title sponsor, Ontario Power Generation, and more than 40 partners who have contributed to the success of this historic effort to restore selfsustaining populations of Atlantic Salmon to Lake Ontario and its tributaries. (The Lake Ontario Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program www. bringbackthesalmon.ca.) This program has been supported by a partnership of conservation organizations, corporations, communities, schools, governments and individuals. To further encourage Atlantic salmon, brook trout, steelhead, brown trout, and other fish species to spawn in the Credit River, and to establish strong populations of these fish in Lake Ontario, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and partners have undertaken a number of initiatives such as: Planting trees along river banks to prevent eroded soil sediments, farm nutrients and other pollutants from entering the water. The additional shade also lowers water temperatures. Improved fencing to prevent livestock from entering streams. Making it easy for fish to swim around culverts, dams and other barriers to migration. Altering dams so that water downstream is cooler. (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources www.mnr.gov.on.ca) Another important partner in this process is the Credit River Anglers Association (CRAA ). The CRAA is a watershed group working on the entire watershed and all species within. The CRAA s main focus is on sport fish, (trout, Atlantic and Pacific salmon and bass), but the work they do benefits everyone and everything in the Credit River valley from birds to animals to other valley users through carefully planned conservation work. CRAAs foremost objectives are a pristine river, with stable flows, reduced silt and flooding, a healthy valley with dense forest cover and improved groundwater. The CRAA has completed over $4,000,000 in stream rehabilitation since 1997 with 400,000
native trees planted, combined stocking of over 2.5 million steelhead, brown trout and Atlantic salmon, countless stream rehabilitation works and over 200,000 volunteer hours logged. Funding from the MNRs CFWIP, MNRs Fish and Wildlife Budget, Species at Risk, the Toronto Sportsmens Club - Great Ontario Salmon Derby, Environment Canadas Eco-Action 2000, Ontarios Trillium Fund, City of Mississauga, Mayor Hazel McCallion Golf Tournament CRAAs fundraising, Port Credit and Promenade Launch Program, Shell Canada, local corporations and donations from the Credit Valley Conservation, MNR and Home Depot continue to help the CRAA reach their goals. www.craa.on.ca Thanks to the work of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, the Credit River Anglers Association, the Port Credit Salmon and Trout Association and the Lake Ontario Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program, as well of many other organizations and volunteers, the Credit River is now a well-protected and thriving natural resource. Environmental laws have ensured that the much of the river valley is free from development and is left in a natural state to be enjoyed by all.
