I want to thank all of the women in Mississauga – City staff, Council members, community leaders and residents, past and present – who have helped make our city a place where women thrive and communities are enriched.”

This year’s International Women’s Day theme is Inspire Inclusion and to commemorate the day and its importance, the City of Mississauga is lighting the Civic Centre clock tower purple on March 8.
