    WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

    The Credits gala is the major fundraiser for Heritage Mississauga. Funds raised are used to sustain the Heritage Resource Centre that the organization operates at The Robinson-Adamson House, The Grange (charitable registration no: 11924 5660 RR0001). From this location, we provide diverse cultural programs in celebration of heritage in the community. These are vital to instill a sense of pride and place and to ensure that all heritage is recorded, preserved and celebrated in recognition for those that have come before and to inform those who are yet to arrive.

  • Mississauga's Heritage Source

    Heritage Mississauga, also known as the Mississauga Heritage Foundation was founded in 1960, by a small group of volunteers. Known then as the Toronto Township Historical Foundation, this charitable organization supported the move of the Bradley House to its present location and worked to open the home as the area’s first Museum.


    In 1994 the City of Mississauga officially took over the running of the Museum Complex and Heritage Mississauga took on the role as the only independent organization devoted to city-wide heritage matters.

     

    From its offices at "The Grange", the historic Robinson-Adamson House (1921 Dundas Street West, Mississauga), Heritage Mississauga provides the community with a comprehensive Heritage Resource Centre. The Centre offers a number of services to the community including:

     

    • Heritage Research & Publications

    • Research Assistance

    • Outreach Presentations

    • Heritage Resource Centre Library

    • Publications

    • Heritage and Art Exhibits

    • Guided and Self-Guided Heritage Tours

    • Heritage Events

    • Oral History Interviews

    • Quarterly “Heritage News” Newsletter

    • Heritage Network & Community Partners

    • Advocacy

    Heritage Mississauga (Mississauga Heritage Foundation Inc.) is a not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to promotion of local heritage. Heritage Mississauga’s MISSION is to “research, record and celebrate Mississauga’s heritage”. Heritage Mississauga’s VISION is to be “Mississauga’s Heritage Source.”

     

    Our shared heritage is an important element in fostering and maintaining Mississauga’s sense of community, pride and history. Together with the support of community groups, corporations and individuals, Heritage Mississauga will continue to accept the challenge of promoting awareness of the community’s most precious non-renewable resource.
