About National Indigenous Peoples Day
This is a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The Canadian Constitution recognizes these three groups as Aboriginal peoples, also known as Indigenous peoples, that each have their own distinct heritage, language, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs.
In cooperation with Indigenous organizations, the Government of Canada chose June 21, the summer solstice, for National Aboriginal Day, now known as National Indigenous Peoples Day. For generations, many Indigenous peoples and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on or near this day due to the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year.

Free Learn to Fish Program 2024
Last year, City of Mississauga Parks staff worked with the MNRF to deliver their Learn to Fish program in an urban centre. They had 10 pop-up sessions between Lake Aquitaine and Lakefront Promenade throughout Summer 2023. These sessions had 219 participants in total with an equal split between children and adults. The participation was higher than anticipated and MNRF was not expecting such a high percentage of adults.
As a result of the success of these 10 sessions, staff have been working with MNRF to bring the Learn to Fish program to Mississauga on a more regular basis. We are happy to announce that the program will be at Lakefront Promenade and Lake Aquitaine starting this weekend to the end of August all summer long.
The Learn to Fish program is a free program that teaches new anglers of all ages how to fish in Ontario. This fun and engaging 2–hour program combines a 1-hour practical teaching session with one hour of supervised hands-on fishing.
Sign up with your group by reaching out to Leah Silverman at parks.communitydevelopment@mississauga.ca. To sign up individually online: Learn to Fish | ontario.ca
Dates available from mid-June to the end of August at Lake Aquitaine or Lakefront Promenade.
The City of Mississauga has recently introduced Invest Mississauga, a new brand for its economic development division. This new identity highlights Mississauga’s status as a global center of diverse economic activities and its robust and expanding technology sector.
June 17, 2024
“Invest Mississauga is among Canada’s most trusted economic development organizations,” said Christina Kakaflikas, Director, Economic Development at the City of Mississauga. “Our goal is to foster a competitive, prosperous, sustainable and inclusive economy by helping businesses of all sizes grow and succeed. Our customer-focused approach provides customized market data, reliable advice, programming and access to valuable networks that help make business decisions easier, faster and more effective at all stages of growth.”
Today, every company is becoming a tech company by investing in and integrating new ways of doing business through technology to stay competitive. Advanced technologies like robotics and AI are creating new opportunities for companies across every business sector in Mississauga. Invest Mississauga’s leadership, together with the city’s strength across key knowledge-based sectors, makes Mississauga the place for tech and other companies to invest and grow.
Mississauga’s growing tech sector
Mississauga’s tech sector comprises more than 940 companies and 44,000 highly skilled workers. With nearly a third (28 per cent) of the City’s post-secondary educated workforce specializing in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), Mississauga is a front-runner for companies developing and integrating emerging technologies across diverse business sectors including life sciences, advanced manufacturing, financial services, smart logistics and others.
Kakaflikas added, “Invest Mississauga is continuing to build on Mississauga’s future as a world-leading, innovative economic centre. From startup to multinational enterprise, we work directly with entrepreneurs and business leaders to understand their needs and provide strategies and resources that will help them grow and achieve their goals.”
For example, Medtech employment in Mississauga has nearly doubled since 2016. Mississauga is a world-leader in life sciences and health technology with global companies and startups operating in Medtech, Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals, and many other subsectors. The city has the second-largest Life Sciences cluster in Canada with more than 500 companies that employ 27,000 people. There has been a $1.5 billion boost in new life sciences investments in Mississauga since 2020.
IDEA Mississauga, an arm of Invest Mississauga supports the city’s startup community, and accelerates inclusive entrepreneurship. Through the IDEA Entrepreneurship Hub, located inside the Square One Shopping Centre, entrepreneurs can come together in a collaborative, creative space. Founders can connect with mentors, partners, and have access to talent and programming that will help take their ventures to the next level.
