Today, we grieve the loss of Mississauga’s matriarch, Hazel McCallion, a fierce and passionate leader who touched the lives of so many. She lived a life of service before self - everything she did was for the betterment of our City. My deepest condolences to the McCallion family.

Fond memories of hosting Mayor Hazel McCallion for a tour of the Research In Motion building in Mississauga, about 15 years ago Such a wonderful woman--- certainly one of the best leaders ever that Ontario has ever seen. A life of 101 years, well-lived, of exceptional service!
