Mississauga takes action
In a bold step toward building a more inclusive and unified city, the City of Mississauga launched its One Mississauga campaign.
This public education initiative challenges residents to stop, look and think about different forms of racism, discrimination and hatred experienced by members of our community using bold messaging. It was developed and designed in partnership with the City’s Combating Racism, Discrimination and Hatred Advisory Committee (CRDHAC), who noted the City must go beyond tolerance with this initiative and strive for unity – as we are ‘One Mississauga.’
For more information about One Mississauga Campaign and to learn how to get involved, visit One Mississauga.
