Mississauga was established in 1968 as a town. The name “Mississauga” comes from the Anishinaabe (Native Language) word Misi-zaagiing, meaning “Those at the Great River-mouth.”  The Iroquoian and the Algonquian were living in the Credit Valley River area. There are great places to visit in Mississauga, such as the Marlyn Monroe Towers, which are actually condos. Mississauga is also home of the Steelheads (junior hockey team). Square One Mall is also a great place to visit. It is a big mall, maybe even the largest in Mississauga. There are lots of things close to Square One that should be seen as well, such as Civic Center and the Living Arts Center. The Civic Centre has a splash pad in the summer, which freezes to ice to become a skating rink in the winter. Just beside the Civic Centre is Central Library.  Central Library has lots of floors, and of course, lots of books! It is one of my favourite library’s. It’s so BIG! The Living Arts Centre is the place where most shows and events are held. Parts of the annual Canada Day celebration are also held there.  All of this is located in downtown Mississauga (including the Marlyn Monroe Towers).

Mississauga is a great place. As you can see, Downtown Mississauga has lots of activities. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t visit the rest of Mississauga.
