Crafting the Vision Together

Whether sketching new landscape design options with colourful markers or discussing all the angles with the consultants and staff or writing down ideas and placing them on postcards and sticky notes on massive boards, hundreds of residents came out in droves over three days in early December.

Their ideas were interpreted and transported to a huge model while two model makers transformed people’s ideas into water features, gardens, buildings and open-concept structures.

Thoughts from Elected Leaders

Among those turning out to share their thoughts about the waterfront were Member of Provincial Parliament Charles Sousa, Mayor Hazel McCallion and Councillors Chris Fonseca, Pat Mullin, Ron Starr, and Jim Tovey. They each took the opportunity to ‘get behind the waterfront’ and were excited to see how the vision for the Lakeview area waterfront connects to the overall vision of the City of Mississauga’s strategic plan.
