View Full size image	Title: Mississauga Shoreline West of Rattray Marsh, Clarkson Identifier: R157 Date of Original Photo: 1972 Image Type: Slide Subject: Shorelines - Ontario - Mississauga Donor: Ralph Crysler
Conditions of Use: See Terms of Use & Privacy Statement. Description: In 1971 the firm of Crysler & Lathem, consulting engineers, was retained by the Credit Valley Conservation Authority to prepare a plan for the development of the Mississauga waterfront sector of the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Area. It included this view of the shoreline west of Rattray Marsh, part of the original Rattray Estates. It is a protected natural conservation area, accessible from Meadow Wood Road, north of Orr Road, or through Jack Darling Memorial Park. The marsh was originally called Cranberry Marsh in Wilmot’s Survey. It was bought by Major Rattray in 1945. After his death in 1959 various groups fought to save the marsh as a conservation area.
