Closed off to the community for decades, the Ontario Power Generation (OPG) lands were open for public viewing for the first time for many - one blustery day in November aboard a new MiWay Mississauga transit bus.
From residents to community leaders to business owners and ratepayer groups along with members of the City of Mississauga's leadership team.
The tour was led by Bob Osborne, Director of Public Relations for OPG and landmarks included the water channels, the concrete pad that was the site of the power generation station and the “Four Sisters” stacks. The tour highlight was a walk out to the edge of the pier and a chance to experience the lake up close with a view of the Mississauga skyline. For many residents – this was the pinnacle culmination of many years of community engagement.
