The reclamation and revitalization of Mississauga’s eastern waterfront will be as historically significant as the creation of a vibrant City Centre. For the first time in over 100 years we now have the opportunity to develop the waterfront as a Legacy for future generations. Please join us at Clark Hall in Port Credit on Wednesday February 24TH. at 7:00PM and lend your voice to this vital conversation.

The Lakeview Legacy Community Foundation, in collaboration with the University of Toronto Department of Geography and Planning, is pleased to invite you to the presentation of our Lakeshore Corridor Study "The Heritage Park"

Project Description:

The Heritage Park Study is a community re-visioning of the Lakeshore corridor from Cawthra Road to Dixie Road. The study was conducted by students from the Masters Program in Planning at the University of Toronto, under the Terms of Reference of the Lakeview Legacy Project. Central to the plan is re-connecting Mississauga to the waterfront, new connections in the public realm, recognition of the area’s heritage, high quality architecture, and implementation of green infrastructure and building guidelines that support LEED-Silver standards for development and the creation of heritage for the future.

Key components of the Study:

- Re-connect Mississauga to the waterfront
- Linear Heritage Park on Lakeshore Road as a Grand Boulevard entrance to Mississauga’s South East border
- Re-introduction of the Carolinian forest
- Light Rail Transit
- Separated bicycle paths
- Enhanced Lake views
- Improved Public spaces
- Celebration of the important historic contribution of the area
- Environmentally sustainable design and building
- Affordable housing
- Create heritage for the future

The presentation will be followed by a Panel review and a conversation on the meaning of "Creating Heritage for the future"
