Put an End to Hunger

-


In a bid to put an end to hunger, The Mississauga Food Bank and TD Canada Mosaic Festival are joining hands to help the city’s needy families.

The two will be collecting donations for a local food bank during the two-day outdoor TD Mosaic Festival, set for Aug. 16-17 at Mississauga Celebration Square. Opening ceremonies are Friday evening at 6 p.m.
Cash and food donations will be accepted at Celebration Square and food bank representatives and volunteers will be on-site to answer questions about hunger in the community and how residents can get help or get involved.
Guests are encouraged to bring most-needed items such as peanut butter, canned fish or meat, canned vegetables and canned fruit and other non-perishable products.
The MFB is the central food bank in Mississauga serving some 2.5 million meals each year through network of member agencies. About 51 per cent of the food bank’s clients are children under the age of 18.
Through neighbourhood food banks, hot meal programs and breakfast clubs, The Mississauga Food Bank distributes food for more than 209,000 meals each month.

The Toronto Condo Market is only getting Stronger!

This year is dubbed "the year of the condo" by real estate agents across Canada, because of the strong performance in the country's major housing markets. The condo phenomenon is something that is happening all over North America. The performance of the GTA's top-tier condominium market eclipsed that of other major Canadian markets in both sales volume and percentage gains in 2017. Sales of $1-million-plus condominiums were up 59 per cent year-over-year within the region, with luxury sales over $4 million up 91 per cent over the previous year. In the City of Toronto, condo sales volumes in the $4 million-plus range rose 82 per cent and those in the $1-million-plus category were up 35 per cent year over year. Certainly in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, condos are becoming a choice in terms of where people want to live. If you’re a professional and want to live close to where you work, living in the downtown region has become a lifestyle choice now ...

The New Square One

If you've lived in Mississauga your entire life then you have certainly seen some major changes. Get ready for some more as Square one goes under more developments in time for 2015. The southwest expansion will see the addition of many stores with a Holt Renfrew department store opening its doors in 2016. Holt Renfrew along with many others will help serve the needs of an ever growing Mississauga population, particularly in the downtown core. The rise of condo's in the center of Mississauga, coupled with the new Sheridan college campus which sees an influx of students, will see down-town Mississauga as the place to be. The square one addition has recently completed construction of their food court, and with major cinemas, Go Transit hubs, and Playdium Mississauga makes it just another enticing addition for shopaholics. For more info on the construction and some great pictures check out the link below. Square One Southwest Expansion Underway
