Today we reflect on the fascinating local history, of people, their names now marked on headstones, who have left an incredible mark on Canadians and who have left a lasting legacy on Mississauga.

We remember Kate Aiken, a pioneering broadcaster and Canadian tastemaker; George Hunter a prolific documentary photographer, who captured iconic images of Canada over a seven-decade career; and Ruth Hussey, a British-born veterinarian and environmental advocate, who played a crucial role in preserving Rattray Marsh, the last remaining wetland on Lake Ontario's western side.
