Heritage Mississauga's Board of Directors compiled a survey of questions for the current Mississauga candidates to determine their respective perspectives on heritage in Mississauga.
Questions Posed to Candidates:
1. Why is heritage important to you personally? Why do you believe that heritage is important to the city at large? In your role, what steps would you take to ensure heritage remains a key part of the discussion at the City and community?
2. What do you think is the single most important thing that should be done to support our local heritage and why? How do you see your role impacting this initiative?
3. Do you think it's important to recognize we are on the ancestral territory of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation in some tangible way, such as flying their flag at City Hall? What other ways do you see us doing so?
