This week on Ask A Historian, Matthew Wilkinson explores the history of some of the many cenotaphs that can be found throughout Mississauga.

The cenotaphs in Mississauga provide residents and visitors a place of remembrance; a place to collectively gather to honour and remember those who have served and paid the ultimate sacrifice during times of conflict.

We invite you to join one of the many ceremonies that will be taking place throughout Mississauga on November 11th in recognition of Remembrance Day.

Join historian Matthew Wilkinson and local Port Credit historian Richard Collins as they celebrate 100 years of Clarke Memorial Hall's fascinating history.
