With a population of 721,599 residents in the 2016 census, Mississauga is the sixth-most populous municipality in Canada. Historic Port Credit, a sub division of Mississauga has 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) of shoreline on Lake Ontario with shops, a working lighthouse and a marina with a grounded freighter. Multi-use walking and cycling trails wind through the city’s parks and woodlands. In the centre of town, Mississauga Celebration Square hosts multicultural festivals and has a skating rink in winter. A popular shopping destination, the city has several huge malls. Popular industries are pharmaceuticals, banking and finance, electronics and computers, aerospace, transportation parts and heavy equipment industries. Mississauga City Council consists of the mayor and eleven city councillors, each representing one of the city’s eleven numbered wards. The growth of Mississauga is attributed to its proximity to Toronto. During the latter half of the 20th century, the city attracted a multicultural population and built up a thriving central business district. It is home to Toronto Pearson International Airport, Canada’s busiest airport, and serves as the headquarters for many Canadian and multinational corporations. The City of Mississauga has been routinely recognized locally, nationally and internationally for providing innovative and cost-effective programs and services and to generally improve the quality of life of its residents through good governance.
