Consultation has concluded
The City of Mississauga wants to capture Mississauga’s entire story. Everything from our early Indigenous roots to present day newcomer diversity. The Story of M will collect these stories and use them to influence exhibits and programming at the Museums and how heritage is reflected in the city.
The Museums of Mississauga will be going across Mississauga in an effort to collect, listen to and share stories with residents.
This information will be collected and reviewed to help define and better reflect the landscape of Mississauga.
Your story can shape our city!

Mississauga's Great Heritage
Mississauga has great preservation of its heritage villages that were once unique to themselves. These heritage villages such as Erindale, Meadowvale, Clarkson, Malton, Port Credit and many more have their structures re-purposed to give both a modern and historic value to Mississauga residents. But, early settlers are not the only heritage value that we see in Mississauga today! We see new and old residents of every cultural background moving into Mississauga to leave their own little heritage piece on the city. I noticed this when attending the culinary walk on Dundas and Hurontario on this years (2017) doors open, led by a very knowledgeable and smart museum staff. It was great seeing all the family businesses and listening to their stories. Culture festival, bakeries, restaurants, associations, and other business are going to be leaving their mark so more generations can enjoy. I came to Mississauga in 1993 from Poland for a better life and my family settled in the Applewood area. It was a culture shock for us but with Mississauga being welcoming we were able to adapt and learn the new language fairly quickly. My most treasured memory is going with my family to Erindale Park for picnics and to play baseball.

I love the creative entrepreneurs in Mississauga and GTA
After moving to Canada a little over a year ago, I started to notice a great culture of small business owners and creative start-ups where women my age where using their talents to do great work! The entrepreneurial spirit in Mississauga sparked my own interest in starting something for myself. I started meeting with local entrepreneurs all while working on my own business. I successfully launched my own stationary company this past November called Momentora. Using my clinical social work background, I custom-designed a life planner for Muslim women with many unique components for my target population. I sell these planners at local shops and am looking to expand the business further in the upcoming year. I am thrilled at the support and success I've achieved thus far and can't wait for what's to come.
