"Community Heritage Award" at Heritage Mississauga’s The Credits.

 

It was truly an honour to receive the "Community Heritage Award" at Heritage Mississauga’s The Credits. Congratulations to all the remarkable recipients recognized for their meaningful contributions.

Each award was beautifully handcrafted by the talented Sid Gendron (Sawmill Sid) — a work of art in itself.

Celebrating our city, and those who preserve and lead in heritage, reminds us of where we’ve come from and guides us toward where we’re going.
