Dignitaries from across Ontario and beyond, family, friends and scores of Mississauga residents will gather today (Feb. 14) at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre to say their final goodbye to Canadian political icon and Mississauga matriarch Hazel McCallion.

Mississauga’s longtime mayor, who presided over the city she loved for 36 years, died on Jan. 29 after a month-long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Today’s funeral in Mississauga, which begins at 11 a.m., falls on the day that McCallion would have turned 102.
