Mississauga Cultural Resource Map

The City of Mississauga is proud to launch the Mississauga Culture on the Map portal, a comprehensive source for all things arts and cultural resources in Mississauga. The portal was launched on 1 May 2012, with attendance from key Mississauga cultural stakeholders, community groups, other municipalities and culture consultants (see the Project Launch Presentation).

As a city, we have so many cultural resources, assets and cultural activities. However, finding all this information is usually a challenge, until now. With relevant data and feedback from City Divisions and our external culture partners, the Culture Division implemented a recommendation of the 5-year Culture Master Plan approved by Council in June 2009 to develop a single “one-stop-shop” cultural resource map for the city.

Cultural resources, assets and related information will now be easier to find in Mississauga more than ever before, thanks to our various internal and external culture stakeholders who have made this project a success story.
