As the 5th Mayor of Mississauga serving for 36 years, 1978 to 2014, Hazel McCallion was acclaimed twice and re-elected 10 times. Locally and affectionately known as Hurricane Hazel, her nickname is in recognition of her outspoken political style.

Amongst the honours Hazel received was the 2016 naming of February 14 as Hazel McCallion Day across the province of Ontario. In Port Credit she is honoured annually with the Hazel McCallion Canada Day Parade. In 2016 she became the first and current Chancellor of Sheridan College with a campus named in her honour. Trillium Health Partners - Mississauga Hospital has the Hazel McCallion Centre for Heart Health.

Following her retirement from politics Hazel continues her presence in the city keeping up a hectic schedule of appointments and appearances. A truly inspiring woman, we salute Hazel McCallion and add our admiration to the many accolades she receives.

HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY!
