Hazel McCallion, Mississauga's longest-serving mayor, will be remembered at a state funeral in the city west of Toronto today.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Premier Doug Ford, and Mayor Bonnie Crombie will be in attendance at the ceremony which is expected to begin at 11 a.m.
McCallion died peacefully at her home last month at the age of 101. Today would have marked her 102nd birthday. A job at an Ontario-based engineering company brought her to Toronto, where she met her husband, Sam McCallion, in 1951. When Streetsville was amalgamated into Mississauga, McCallion served as a councillor there too before she took the city's top job in 1978.
