FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Heritage Mississauga (Mississauga Heritage Foundation) Announces ‘the Credits” 2019 Award Recipients

MISSISSAUGA, October 28, 2019- Heritage Mississauga will be hosting “the Credits” on Friday November 8, 2019 at the Mississauga Grand Banquet and Event Centre.

“the Credits” is an annual spectacle that honours the contributions of individuals, groups and businesses that contribute to the celebration of the rich cultural heritage of the city of Mississauga.

Heritage Mississauga has changed the award structure this year to acknowledge the achievement and dedication of the nominees and will be awarding all nominees that met the criteria in their respective category.

The theme for the evening will be the historic “Mississauga Miracle” train derailment of 1979. The evening will also honour those who responded to the call of the largest peace time evacuation in North American history.

The program has been amended to allow for a true celebration of the evening as attendees are invited to dress in 1970’s attire and dance to music of the 70’s. A prize will be awarded for the best dressed.
