A well-organized Sledgehammer Ceremony was staged on April 6, 2015 at the Small Arms Building in Mississauga

I’ve been writing about the Small Arms Building at 1352 Lakeshore Road East, located at the foot of Dixie Road, for some years. Occasionally it’s called the Small Arms building and at other times it’s the Small Arms Building. I’ve switched to using the second of these spellings. Either spelling works fine. I like to be […]
