*Dearest gentle reader…* Join Heritage Mississauga for **The Credits Awards 2026**, an elegant evening celebrating the people, organizations, artists, and community builders who help shape Mississauga’s heritage. Inspired by **Jane Austen and Bridgerton**, this year’s gala brings Regency-era glamour to the Mississauga Grand on **Thursday, November 5**, with dinner, entertainment, awards, and a nod to Mississauga during the War of 1812. Regency-inspired dress is encouraged but optional. Come celebrate Mississauga’s **Heritage Heroes** in style!
WHAT’S GOING ON?
Step back into 1836 for the 25th annual Haunted Mississauga Heritage Tour at Streetsville Memorial Cemetery. Through live, unscripted historic theatre, Heritage Mississauga’s Spirit Team brings the turbulent 1836 election in Upper Canada to life, when political loyalties ran deep and even a trip to the polls could be dangerous. Join us Friday, October 23 for an unforgettable evening of living history, unexpected encounters, and stories from Mississauga’s past. Tours depart every 20 minutes from 7:00 to 9:20 PM.
