Leaving Our Mark

Leaving Our Mark

Today we reflect on the fascinating local history, of people, their names now marked on headstones, who have left an incredible mark on Canadians and who have left a lasting legacy on Mississauga.

We remember Kate Aiken, a pioneering broadcaster and Canadian tastemaker; George Hunter a prolific documentary photographer, who captured iconic images of Canada over a seven-decade career; and Ruth Hussey, a British-born veterinarian and environmental advocate, who played a crucial role in preserving Rattray Marsh, the last remaining wetland on Lake Ontario's western side.
