Witness the closing of the 2049 time capsule as Mississauga celebrates 50 years as a city. Over the years, Mississauga has grown into a vibrant, diverse and dynamic community that offers exceptional quality of life opportunities, with excellent options to live, work and play.

On January 1, 1974, the Towns of Streetsville and Port Credit and the Township of Mississauga were officially incorporated to form the City of Mississauga. Today, it’s Canada’s seventh-largest city, Ontario’s third-largest city and home to more than 750,000 residents from diverse backgrounds. The city boasts Ontario’s third-largest municipal transit system and is home to Canada’s busiest international airport.

Residents and visitors alike are invited to attend the Special Meeting of Council in-person or watch online as former members of Council, Mississauga Olympians, dignitaries and special guests are honoured during the hour-long meeting.

Guests will have the unique honour of witnessing the closure of the 50th anniversary time capsule and hearing from the City’s Poet Laureate, Andrea Josic.
