Drawing Inspiration from Mississauga Residents
Over three days in December 2010, a local seniors' community centre was transformed into “idea central” as almost 500 community members shared their ideas about a new Mississauga waterfront in the Lakeview area.
They arrived in groups of two or three. Some arrived alone but found their neighbours among the crowd. They came not only be to be inspired but also to provide the inspiration – ideas, dreams and thoughts with many sentences beginning with, “What if...” for the Mississauga waterfront in the Lakeview area.
It took three full days plus a kick-off event, partnered with discussions with residents, consultants, seniors, families and youth – lead by world-class planners, Urban Strategies Inc. and City of Mississauga staff, to craft the start of a vision for the waterfront.
