If you want to celebrate the holiday season in one of Mississauga’s oldest and best-known neighbourhoods, you might get to do so with hundreds of other people.
Heart Comonos, a grassroots organization that aims to connect people in Mississauga’s Cooksville neighbourhood, recently announced it’s hosting its free Magical Holiday Season Celebration in the Four Corners area (10 Dundas St. E.) on Saturday, Dec. 3.
The event, which will take place right near the brand new Cooksville sign, will run from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
In a news release, Heart Comonos called the upcoming celebration its “biggest event of the year,” adding that the gathering will celebrate “peace, love and hope.”
