Mississauga is likely the only city in Canada to hold three separate Canada Day celebrations on July 1! The villages of Port Credit and Streetsville each hold a ceremony and fireworks, and other events, and the City of Mississauga is hosting its own fireworks and events near the Living Arts Centre / Civic Centre.
The Port Credit Canada Day Fireworks, Parade etc. at Memorial Park are called Paint the Town Red on Lakeshore Road near the bridge and lighthouse. See Waterfront Festival post for parking information, etc. as it applies to most Port Credit events. (According to the Paint the Town Red folks, for this event, Port Credit has an estimated 40 thousand visitors!)
Mississauga Living Arts Centre - Canada Day Event
The usual venue for City of Mississauga events is the large civic square but this year, due to renovations on the square, the Canada Day events are being held closer to the Living Arts Centre.

Don't forget there are Port Credit fireworks, and a parade and events. This is where I'll be from morning to night! With free transit, and three celebrations in Mississauga this Thursday, you should be able to celebrate Canada Day somewhere in Mississauga!!

Update July 2 2010 Mississauga Fireworks: Two Pictures Port Credit to Civic Centre
Here are two pictures of the fireworks last night in Mississauga: I took these shots from the 20th floor of a Port Credit apartment, without a tripod (don't have one yet :-) but promise to get one.
I include them here to show the Port Credit Memorial Park location and the view from here to the fireworks display at Civic Centre.
If you have friends who are on upper floors of Square One area condos, get them to invite you up for Canada Day next year. I think that no matter which direction they face, they can see fireworks somewhere in Mississauga or Toronto.

Fireworks Port Credit Mississauga Ontario Canada Day 2010
The large burst is Port Credit; the bright red flash on the Mississauga skyline is the fireworks show from city centre. New condos in that area blocked the full show from here in Port Credit. However, we had wonderful views of all the area fireworks - Streetsville, Clarkson, Oakville and private fireworks across Mississauga.

I also took video, which is more reliable than hand-held stills. I was also trying out the 'fireworks' setting on my Canon (see details http://snapshot-travel-blog.blogspot.com/2009/10/sunset-full-moon-raindrops-pictures.html). The shutter speed, as to be expected, is quite slow and a tripod is necessary, especially on an upper floor of a high-rise.If you have friends who are on upper floors of Square One area condos, get them to invite you up for Canada Day next year.
