Fireside Chat 2013: Mayor Hazel McCallion
Hazel McCallion was elected Mayor of Mississauga in 1978 and is currently serving her 12th term. She has been recognized numerous times for her contributions to public service and was inducted as a Member of the Order of Canada in 2005, honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Mississauga Board of Trade in April 2010 and in June 2010, was conferred with the Honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the University of Toronto. In addition, the Hazel McCallion Senior Public School, the Hazel McCallion Academic Learning Centre at the University of Toronto at Mississauga and the Hazel McCallion Campus of Sheridan College has been named in her honour.
As the new Chief Planner of Mississauga's neighbour to the east, Toronto, Jennifer Keesmaat is facing issues of growth and downtown development similar to Mississauga, yet on a different scale. Her experiences as a partner at the Toronto-based integrated design firm DIALOG, where she worked with many mid-sized cities to develop downtown, cultural and strategic plans before accepting the position of chief planner in September 2012, make her ideally suited for the challenge.
Join us as Jennifer sits down with Hazel McCallion to discuss the mayor's career, her challenges and successes in city building, development and leadership, and her life lessons for the next generation.
