PHOTOS: A Look at Historical Mississauga

Have you ever wondered what Mississauga looked like through the ages?
If you visit PAMA (Peel Art Gallery Museums + Archives), you can see the Mississauga of a bygone era. Mississauga Highlights from the Peel 150: Stories of Canada exhibition is on now at PAMA and it offers a look at Mississauga’s buildings (and famous families) from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Also, if you want to enjoy a little history and culture for less, you might be happy to hear that free (yes, free) Admission continues in August in celebration of Peel and Canada 150!
“This year we celebrate Peel & Canada 150. Explore PAMA’s art, archives, and museum collections to discover who we are as a community: past, present, and future,” says PAMA. “The exhibition also features the work of Manitoulin Island artist James Simon Mishibinijima: Residential School Paintings and Seven Grandfather Teachings.”
So if you want to learn more about your city, here’s a little taste of what’s in store.
