Current Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie said Sunday that the public’s overwhelming response following McCallion’s passing at home at age 101 has been “so moving. Everyone has a personal story.”.McCallion’s casket was covered by the blue flag of Mississauga with two matching blue velvet pillows on top where her Order of Canada and Order of Ontario were displayed. There were also plenty of wreaths and yellow and white roses in vases around the casket where two officers stood guard.
Before the public was let in to view the casket Sunday morning, Crombie led a delegation of dignitaries — including Premier Doug Ford and beleaguered Toronto Mayor John Tory, who resigned Friday after admitting he had an affair with a woman who worked for him — to pay their respects. McCallion family spokesman Jim Murray, who will be the MC for her funeral, said Tory called him Saturday afternoon to discuss how he will no longer speak at McCallion’s service, which will be held at Paramount Fine Foods Centre, atAlso on display near the casket Sunday was McCallion’s T-shirts, bobbleheads, construction and fire department hats, chain of office and a video about her life.
