Mississauga Votes 2024: Meet the candidates

It is a transformational time for the City of Mississauga.

Bonnie Crombie stepped down after nine years as the city’s mayor to lead the Ontario Liberal Party and Mississauga residents are getting set to head to the polls to elect a new civic leader that will no doubt set the west-end city on a new path.

With affordable housing, crime prevention – particularly around auto theft – and transit expansion dominating the headlines, Melanie Ng sat down with four candidates who are vying for the job.
