Canada: Mississauga municipal election could be 'turning point' for city

The Mississauga election is just over a month away, and with 20 candidates officially registered to run to be the city's next mayor, many are watching closely as the outcome could change the future of the city in a big way.

"The city of Mississauga is at a turning point," said Shari Lichterman, city manager and CAO of the city of Mississauga.

"It's really important that we elect the right person to represent the city and to advocate for all we will need as we grow very rapidly to a million people over the next decade," she said, adding the current population is close to 800,000.

Mississauga was once known as a bedroom community, but it's rapidly becoming more urban and seeing more vertical growth.
