Cultural Heritage Landscape Project

The study’s second phase has officially commenced!

On May 6^th, 2019 the City and the consultant team facilitated a public open house where the study’s next phase process, timeline and list of preliminary landscapes and features was presented.

As in Phase 1, your ongoing participation is critical to identifying what places are unique and valuable to you, and what makes these places important. Please return to this page throughout the summer to:

• Check out the study’s second phase list of landscapes and features
• Share your memories, opinions and ideas on what makes each place special
• Complete the study’s on-line survey

Get Involved

We experience place in Mississauga through its many cultural heritage landscapes like:

• The Credit River valley
• Historic villages
• Early transportation routes
• Signature neighbourhoods and campuses
• Former farmsteads and estates
• Gardens and parks

These landscapes reflect Mississauga’s past and present as a backdrop to the city. In 2005, Mississauga developed an inventory of these landscapes. With the City’s growth, the Inventory is being updated and ways to manage these landscapes are being re-examined. The review includes:

• Evaluating the 2005 inventory for landscapes to be included or removed
• Determining if additional cultural heritage landscapes may be added to the inventory, and
• Examining ways to effectively manage change within and around these landscapes

Your participation and input is critical in identifying what places are unique and valuable to you, and what makes these places important. Please share your memories, opinions, drawings, images and ideas about what makes any and all of these places important and special.

Is there a cultural heritage landscape missing from the Inventory?

Submit new cultural heritage landscape suggestions here. (Deadline: September 30, 2019)

Archaeological Services Inc. (ASI), SGL Planning and Design Inc. landPlan and GBCA Architects are conducting the review.
