This episode of We Built This City explores the history of communities and immigration west of Toronto, focusing on Cooksville and the surrounding areas like Mississauga and Port Credit.
From Mississauga's Welcome Wagon, a company that welcomed new residents to neighbourhoods across Canada, active from 1930, to the influx of immigrants from Italy, Croatia, Ireland, and Poland to Cooksville, because of its famous brickyard that operated from 1913 to 1991, Mississauga was founded on and continues to stand tall because of immigrants from all over the world who work and live and make Mississauga what it is today.
