Fun facts about me: I was born in Scarborough and moved to Mississauga when I was five years old, lived and grew up around the Streetsville area, and currently I live in the Square One area with my wife Claire and our cat Alba. So I too live, work and play in Mississauga!

History of Mississauga
Mississauga is Canada’s 7th most populous city.
The Town of Mississauga was created in 1968, and the City of Mississauga was incorporated in 1974, through the amalgamation of the Town of Mississauga and the villages of Port Credit and Streetsville, together with portions of the townships of Toronto Gore and Trafalgar.
