Celebrating One Million Visitors
Mississauga Celebration Square celebrated one million visits with a “Thanks a Million” campaign launched October 2012. The public was invited to leave a message of thanks on a giant chalkboard wrap that covered the glass pavilion. Residents were encouraged to visit the Square and write a message about what they were thankful for.
Messages included praise for Celebration Square and gratitude for good health, family and friends. Since opening in June 2011, Mississauga Celebration Square has played host to more than 200 events, including Canada Day, Tree Lighting, New Year’s Eve, Summer on the Square, Memorial Cup and numerous community festivals. The Square has quickly become the city’s downtown destination for free outdoor events, connecting residents and community groups through arts, culture and heritage.

Charting the Course for Port Credit
Inspiration Port Credit was launched in 2012 as part of the Strategic Plan to create a model, sustainable, creative community on the waterfront. A project kick-off event and community waterfront workshops were held in the fall to introduce the project and engage the community on the future of the Imperial Oil lands and the Canada Lands Company site. A new online, two-way communications tool was developed as part of the public engagement. The interactive website allows for a 24/7 gathering place for comments, questions and ideas – it’s “community meeting” place.
Inspiration Port Credit will weave together public and private planning for the future of Port Credit’s waterfront and will take its direction from the great work already completed on the Port Credit Local Area Plan. The project will define the future for over 40.5 hectares of land, 22.3 hectares of water and over 1.3 kilometres of Lake Ontario shoreline. The City’s team is working with landowners, including Canada Lands Company Limited and Imperial Oil Limited, to blend the needs of the community and landowners. With Inspiration Port Credit and Inspiration Lakeview well underway, the city’s waterfront is on its way to becoming a premier waterfront community and destination. Watch for the results of the project in 2013. Click here to learn more: Inspiration Port Credit |
