Conveniently located immediately west of
Toronto and nestled on the northern shore of
Lake Ontario, Mississauga features a wonderful
blend of thriving commercial and business
districts, charming neighbourhoods and a
spectacular waterfront setting for boating,
fishing and leisure activities (featuring Canadas
largest freshwater marina).
From championship 18-hole golf courses,
woodland walking trails and wetlands to world-

of delicious dining options and unparalleled
shopping experiences, there is so much to see
and do in Mississauga.

top things to see and do
in Mississauga
The Honourable Hazel McCallion has

Her vision and passion for the city have

community of 270,000 to a self-sustaining city
of over 740,000, thriving economically with
61 of the Fortune 500 company head offices,
a fabulous community spirit and flourishing
academic, arts and culture, sports, education
and heritage sectors.
We have some wonderful places that are
so natural. We have the beautiful Lake
Promenade Park which has the Port Credit
Yacht Club, a marina and sailing club.
There are bicycle and walking paths where
people can walk along the waterfront and

MISSISSAUGA DOWNTOWN
MISSISSAUGA
DOWNTOWN
Mississauga is creating a place with a variety
of experiences for residents and visitors alike.
From shopping to entertainment, education
and quiet reflection, Mississaugas downtown
offers it all. Downtown is a place for people,
alive with entertainment and concerts for all
generations, programs for fun and for health
and wellness and cultural festivals highlighting
the citys rich diversity. Mississaugas parks
and open spaces provide a chance to slow
down in this bustling city core. The urban core
continues to grow and the skyline re-invents
itself as the vision for Mississaugas downtown
is realized. Mississaugas vibrant downtown

core is the heart and soul of the citys municipal
government, cultural, social, community and
commercial activities. Here you will find City
Hall, the award-winning Mississauga Celebration
Square, the Central Library, the Living Arts
Centre, the provinces largest shopping mall
(and second largest in Canada) Square
One Shopping Centre and the Art Gallery of
Mississauga.
The downtown is home to the Sheridan
Institute of Technology and Advanced
Learning with the University of Toronto -
Mississauga, located minutes away. With a

mix of office buildings, retail development and
residential condominiums, downtown offers
business opportunities and access to markets
locally, in the Greater Toronto Area, nationally
and internationally.
The Downtown21 Master Plan, a planning
document for the area, sets out a vision
for creating a more vibrant downtown in
Mississauga. That means Mississaugas
downtown will have great walkable streets to
shop or visit, restaurants and outdoor cafs. It will
have great places like public squares, parks and
outdoor markets, with an entertainment district
and a range of venues to experience the arts and
culture that our diverse city has to offer. All this
will be available to visitors, residents, as well as
people who come to visit and work downtown.
Getting downtown will be easier - an expanded
network of bike paths and improved transit will
move you in and around the city while providing
the sustainable connections that employees and
businesses need across the Greater Toronto Area.
There are also exciting plans to expand the citys
public transit system with Light Rail Transit
(LRT) along Hurontario Street. The LRT will
connect Mississaugas Downtown with Port
Credit to the south and with Brampton to the
north. Also underway is the build of the new
Transitway along Highway 403. The Transitway
connects east and western destinations of the city
through the downtown.

Common, an urban green space located just
northwest of Mississauga Celebration Square.

MISSISSAUGAS WATERFRONT VILLAGES
ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL VIEW!
Mississaugas waterfront villages make the
most of the citys beautiful lakeside setting.
The picturesque waterfront communities
of Port Credit and Clarkson offer stunning
vantage points from which to enjoy the view.
PORT CREDIT www.portcredit.com
Situated at the mouth of the Credit River,
along the northern shore of Lake Ontario,
is picturesque Port Credit - Mississaugas
Village on the Lake.
Always On, Always Electric! - Port Credit is
one of the citys top cultural, entertainment
and culinary districts boasting world class
restaurants and award-winning festivals and
events. With unique shops and services, Port
Credit is also an ideal destination for shopping
and exploring. For sports fishing enthusiasts,
Port Credit is the Salmon Capital of
Ontario,featuring the largest charter boat
fleet on Lake Ontario. A Canada Day event
which includes a parade, a Busker Fest, a
Farmers Market and an Art Show along the
NEIGHBOURHOODS
Waterfront Trail all these things add to Port
Credits exciting vibrancy. One of the oldest
settlements in Ontario, the quaint and nautically
themed Port Credit village is anchored by a
harbour on Lake Ontario and distinctive red and
white working lighthouse with a beaconing light
that can be seen from miles around, welcoming
everyone who approaches. (The Lighthouse
also houses the offices of the Port Credit
Business Improvement Area). Port Credit is an
international border entry point into Canada by
water.
The nautical character of Port Credit is in
large part due to the number of preserved
residential and commercial buildings dating
from the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries built by and for those who made
a living on the water mariners, sailors,
stonehookers, fishermen, wharfingers,
tradesmen and labourers. A portion of this
area, known as Old Port Credit Village,
has been designated as an Ontario Heritage
conservation district:
Port Credit
www.discovermississauga.ca 27
CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Human use and activity in the district
predate the governments village
survey by many thousands of years. The
settlement of the Native Mississauga at
the mouth of the Credit River for over
a century, their resettlement upriver in
1826 and their significant investment
in the Credit Harbour Company in 1834
especially affected the formation of
Old Port Credit. Peter and John Streets
are named after Peter and John Jones,
directors in the Credit Harbour Company
and Mississauga chiefs. Peter Jones
(Kahkewaquonaby), missionary, translator
and author, is provincially important as
a leading figure in the conversion of the
Mississauga and other Ojibway people to
the Methodist branch of Christianity and
their adoption of a sedentary way of life
farming and trades. Mississauga Road
South, originally called Joseph Street after
Mississauga chief and Credit Harbour
Company director Joseph Sawyer, preserves
in its name the legacy of the Mississauga
people in Port Credit. (Excerpted from
the Old Port Credit Village Heritage
Conservation District Plan prepared for
the City of Mississauga, 2004)
While all the historical charm remains, a lot
has happened in the ensuing 178 years since
the village was founded.

ing a 2013 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 Double Cab V6, a fishing trip for two, and a celebration dinner.
The derby attracts both avid and recreational fishermen alike. In 2009, it was won by a nine year-old boy

Bradley Museum: Experience the simple
daily life of a farming family in the early
19th century when you visit Bradley
Museum. Constructed in 1830 by Lewis
and Elizabeth Bradley, this United Empire
Loyalist couple and their seven children
called this modest house home. Situated in a
rural setting, the bright yellow saltbox style
Bradley home is the only surviving original
farmhouse in the area.
Benares Historic House: For a step back
into the early 20th century around the time of
World War I, visit the Benares Historic House,
considered by some to be the inspiration for
Canadian author Mazo de la Roches (1879
- 1961) famous series of Whiteoaks of Jalna
 NEIGHBOURHOODS

novels. The author spent the summers of 1924

- 1928 as the neighbour of Benares Historic
House in the nearby Trail Cottage, a small
home she built on land purchased from the
Harris family of Benares. Jalna was written
while Mazo was living here. When the Literary
Review of Canada released its list of Canadas
top 100 most important books in 2006, it
included Mazo de la Roches 1927 novel Jalna,
calling it the quintessential Canadian novel.
Jalna catapulted Mazo to international fame in
April, 1927 when it received a $10,000 literary
award from Atlantic Monthly Magazine.
JALNA was the first in a series of sixteen books
about the fictional Whiteoaks family and their
southern Ontario estate, Jalna. The books have
sold over 12 million copies in English as well as
in translation to a number of languages.

The Leslie Log House has been conserved as
an example of early 19th century architecture
and the lifestyle led by Mississaugas pioneer
settlers. Built in 1826, this house was the
original home of John Leslie and his wife
Esther Beatty who came to Upper Canada

GREEN

Living Green
every day in
Mississauga
Mississauga is dedicated to providing its citizens with the
opportunity to live green every day. From hundreds of
parks to green open spaces and an achievable approach to
delivering on its forward-thinking environmental goals,
Mississauga takes the actions that help create a clean
and healthy natural environment for the community. As
Canadas sixth largest city, what Mississauga says and does
on environmental issues gets noticed.

These actions are captured in the Living Green Master Plan

(LGMP) a plan that aims to change goals into actions and
environmentally-conscious ideas into city standards.

To help the city achieve its environmental goals,

Mississauga Council approved the Living Green Master
Plan in January 2012 following broad public consultation
with the community. Implementation of the LGMP is
underway.

The Living Green Master Plan is a roadmap for making

the community clean and green year-round. Its an action
plan that will be accomplished by combining the efforts of
residents, city staff and community leaders over the next
decade. Through the LGMP Mississauga will:
Set an example in areas such as transportation, natural
heritage, green buildings, water, waste and energy
strategies;
Encourage others in areas such as green development,
air quality management partnerships, energy plans and
education programs; and
Compel others through new developments and by-laws
that enhance the green system.

For Mississauga, a healthy natural environment, a strong

economy and a high standard of living are seen as key
features for a successful community. By making sustainable
living a Mississauga priority, the Living Green Master Plan,
Mississaugas Strategic Plan and other master plans like the
Culture Master Plan and Economic Development Strategy
create the foundation for success in all three areas.

For more information on environmental programs and key

events throughout the year, Mississauga encourages visitors

FISHING, CONSERVATION & THE DERBY
FISHING, CONSERVATION
& THE GREAT ONTARIO
SALMON DERBY
People are often shocked to learn that some
of the best salmon fishing in North America
takes place in Lake Ontario. Each year,
thousands of sportfishing enthusiasts ply Lake
Ontarios waters from Whitby to Niagara
Falls in search of Chinook and coho salmon.
Efforts are underway to reintroduce native
Atlantic salmon and there are well-established
populations of rainbow trout, brown trout
and lake trout. Charters that supply all the
equipment you need are easy to book and they
provide a great way to see our city by the lake.
Brian Lambie, Co-Founder Port Credit Salmon
and Trout Association (PCSTA)
56 www.discovermississauga.ca
GET HOOKED
Lake Ontario is a major destination for sport
fishing with the area around Mississauga and
Toronto particularly good for salmon fishing. Port
Credit/Bronte ranked third and Toronto ranked
seventh amongst the top twenty Pacific Salmon
Fishing destinations published by Outdoor
Canada. The Chinook salmon industry (around
25,000 adults every year) on Lake Ontario is
estimated to contribute about $180 million
annually to the provinces economy.
Port Credit is home to a large fleet of salmon fishing
boats and charter operations, as well as one of the

locations of the Great Ontario Salmon Derby, the
largest inland water sport fishing competition
in North America. This year we welcome to our
Andrews fleet the Unreel, 61 feet - the largest fishing
charter boat on Lake Ontario.
Although conditions may vary from year to year,
trophy salmon for the Great Ontario Salmon
Derby typically weigh in at about 30-32 lbs. for
the weekly prize and approach 40 lbs. for the
grand prize. The largest caught in Lake Ontario
was 46.4 lbs. PCSTA Co-founder Wayne
Andrew of Andrews Charters
In 2010, the PCSTA was created to nurture
and promote the migratory salmon fishery on
Lake Ontario. In early April, 2013, the PCSTA
released 10,000 young Chinook salmon into a
special pen in Port Credit Harbour. Kept in their
pens for approximately three weeks, the salmon
were then released into Lake Ontario.
Thanks to all of these efforts the Credit River
today boasts huge runs of Chinook salmon
and steelhead as well as some coho, pink and
Atlantic salmon. Chinook Salmon and steelhead
first enter the river in late August with Steelhead
available through the winter until the end of
FISHING, CONSERVATION & THE DERBY
Credit River
May. Numbers have been steadily increasing
due to the work of the Credit River Anglers
Association (CRAA ). For the 2011 1012 season,
19,300 was the estimated steelhead run - a
record with 86.2 per cent wild!
Several parks and conservation areas along the
Credit River offer angling opportunities during
the open season for trout and salmon.
Erindale Park situated in the middle of
Mississauga is open to salmon and trout fishing
all year and produces a lot of fish. It is not
uncommon to see 250 anglers at this part of the
river when a big run is on, but there is plenty of
room for all.
Deer, coyotes, fox and other wildlife live in the
valley. You would not even know you were in a
city at all when you are by the river.
A HERITAGE SPECIES
Atlantic salmon are an important part of the
natural and cultural heritage of the Lake Ontario
basin. Their ancestors migrated from saltwater in
the post-glacial period and adapted to freshwater
inland. They require cool, fast waters and clean
habitat; as an indicator species, their survival
www.discovermississauga.ca 57
FISHING, CONSERVATION & THE DERBY
is solid evidence that an aquatic ecosystem
is healthy. Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources www.mnr.gov.on.ca
Geographical features and natural attributes
define a real sense of place and history for a
city. For Mississauga, the Credit River and Lake
Ontario are two of those majestic, defining
features.
Fed by two main sources one from
Orangeville north of Mississauga, the other
from Erin to the west, the Credit River forms
at the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park near
Caledon, Ontario after separately flowing over
the escarpment with two beautiful falls and then
meandering south and through Mississauga,
emptying into Lake Ontario at Port Credit.
Native people had been attracted to the Credit
River Valley over thousands of years. In the
1720s, the French established many trading
posts around Lake Ontario, one located near
the mouth of the Credit River, so named after
58 www.discovermississauga.ca
Credit River
the custom of trading with the Mississaugas
Native peoples on credit. The rich, fertile
soil surrounding the Credit River Valley then
attracted settlers to the area which was to
eventually become Mississauga.
Atlantic salmon once thrived in Lake Ontario
and were an abundant natural resource for
Aboriginal communities and early settlers
Prior to European settlement, it is estimated
25,000 to 70,000 tonnes of adult Atlantic salmon
returned to spawn annually in North America
As the area was developed, farming, logging,
and the construction of dams contributed to the
reduction and degradation of critical habitat, and
overfishing took its toll. By the late 1800s, Atlantic
salmon had disappeared from Lake Ontario and
its tributaries
In 2006, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and
Hunters joined with the Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources to launch the first phase of
Bring Back the Salmon, also known as the Lake
Ontario Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program,

with the help of major sponsor Australias
Banrock Station Wines, the LCBO, the Canadian
Sportfishing Industry Association and Fleming
College. In May, 2011, Bring Back the Salmon
launched Phase II with support from the new
title sponsor, Ontario Power Generation, and
more than 40 partners who have contributed to
the success of this historic effort to restore self-
sustaining populations of Atlantic Salmon to Lake
Ontario and its tributaries. (The Lake Ontario
Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program www.
bringbackthesalmon.ca.)
This program has been supported by a
partnership of conservation organizations,
corporations, communities, schools,
governments and individuals. To further
encourage Atlantic salmon, brook trout,
steelhead, brown trout, and other fish species
to spawn in the Credit River, and to establish
strong populations of these fish in Lake
Ontario, the Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources and partners have undertaken a
number of initiatives such as:
Planting trees along river banks to prevent
eroded soil sediments, farm nutrients and
other pollutants from entering the water.
The additional shade also lowers water
temperatures.
Improved fencing to prevent livestock from
entering streams.
Making it easy for fish to swim around
culverts, dams and other barriers to
migration.
Altering dams so that water downstream
is cooler. (Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources www.mnr.gov.on.ca)
Another important partner in this process is
the Credit River Anglers Association (CRAA ).
The CRAA is a watershed group working on the
entire watershed and all species within.
The CRAA s main focus is on sport fish, (trout,
Atlantic and Pacific salmon and bass), but the
work they do benefits everyone and everything
in the Credit River valley from birds to
animals to other valley users through carefully
planned conservation work. CRAAs foremost
objectives are a pristine river, with stable flows,
reduced silt and flooding, a healthy valley with
dense forest cover and improved groundwater.
The CRAA has completed over $4,000,000 in
stream rehabilitation since 1997 with 400,000
FISHING, CONSERVATION & THE DERBY
native trees planted, combined stocking of
over 2.5 million steelhead, brown trout and
Atlantic salmon, countless stream rehabilitation
works and over 200,000 volunteer hours
logged. Funding from the MNRs CFWIP,
MNRs Fish and Wildlife Budget, Species at
Risk, the Toronto Sportsmens Club - Great
Ontario Salmon Derby, Environment Canadas
Eco-Action 2000, Ontarios Trillium Fund, City
of Mississauga, Mayor Hazel McCallion Golf
Tournament CRAAs fundraising, Port Credit
and Promenade Launch Program, Shell Canada,
local corporations and donations from the
Credit Valley Conservation, MNR and Home
Depot continue to help the CRAA reach their
goals. www.craa.on.ca
Thanks to the work of the Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources, the Ontario Federation of
Anglers and Hunters, the Credit River Anglers
Association, the Port Credit Salmon and Trout
Association and the Lake Ontario Atlantic
Salmon Restoration Program, as well of many
other organizations and volunteers, the Credit
River is now a well-protected and thriving
natural resource. Environmental laws have
ensured that the much of the river valley is free
from development and is left in a natural state to
be enjoyed by all.

River, visit the Credit River Anglers Association
