Who Would You Like to See on Mississauga’s Walk of Fame?
Published July 8, 2018 at 10:01 pm
Mississauga has been home to a number of accomplished and impressive residents–something that comes as no surprise to anyone who has spent time in Canada’s sixth largest city.
Some locals have done incredible things in sports, music, politics and philanthropy and for that reason, they deserve to be honored.
The team behind the newly-formed (but very prestigious) Mississauga Walk of Fame – Legends Row, a organization that seeks to honor Mississauga’s best and brightest, recently announced that nominations are now open for the next group of Mississaugans who will be selected as recipients of the 2018 Crystal Legends Row Award in November.
“Legends Row profiles leading citizens who have accomplished great things and made a contribution to the betterment of not only our city, but indeed Canada, and in some cases, around the world,” organizers say. “Through their actions and deeds, pride and spirit has been introduced to our community. They are special citizens, some widely known, others not household names, but the common thread amongst all of them is that their talents and accomplishments we hope will influence and inspire our leaders of tomorrow.”
Some past recipients include Streetsville-raised band Billy Talent, athlete Fran Rider and local hockey legend Paul Coffey.
“This is the highest honour a citizen of Mississauga can receive”, explains Ron Duquette, president and founding director of Mississauga’s Walk of Fame – Legends Row.
