"The city of Mississauga is at a turning point," said Shari Lichterman, city manager and CAO of the city of Mississauga. "It's really important that we elect the right person to represent the city and to advocate for all we will need as we grow very rapidly to a million people over the next decade," she said, adding the current population is close to 800,000.
Mississauga was once known as a bedroom community, but it's rapidly becoming more urban and seeing more vertical growth.Hazel McCallion was first elected in 1978 and served as mayor for 36 years, until she retired in 2014. In the race to replace her, McCallion threw her support behind Bonnie Crombie, propelling her to a big win.Four of the 20 candidates registered; Dipika Damerla, Stephen Dasko, Carolyn Parrish and Alvin Tedjo have recent experience on city council.
