Open House represents a milestone moment!
Over 300 guests attended the "Thousands of Ideas,
One Vision Open House" on June 24, 2008, held
at the Civic Centre, Mississauga. The open house represented
a milestone moment in the Our Future Mississauga project,
as the public had an opportunity to see the results
of their contributions to the conversation and to
comment the draft framework of the Strategic Plan.

Showcased from the balcony in the great hall was
the spectacular completed puzzle resulting from the
puzzle piece campaign. Puzzle piece after puzzle piece,
pieced together and each piece representing the ideas
and hopes of our residents. The puzzle piece project
generated a tremendous amount of feedback - over 6,737
ideas that were compiled into the draft strategic
plan.
Contributing to the success of the open house was
the youth sculptural pieces that were on display for
the community to see how our youth envision the City
of Mississauga in the 21st Century. A total of twenty-two
sculptural pieces from, were selected from four participating
Mississauga secondary schools; St. Marcellinus, Iona,
Glenforest and Applewood Heights.
During the evening session, the youth were present
to describe their inspiring sculptural artwork with
the Mayor and members of the community. Students were
congratulated by the Mayor and Members of Council
with a certificate and small gift of appreciation.
