Chapter 4 in The Local Alternative, 2011, pp 81-90 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Located in the province of Ontario, Canada, Mississauga is Canada’s sixth largest city, covering over 288 square kilometers, 13 square kilometers of which front the shoreline of Lake Ontario. In 1978, I was elected to my first three-year term as mayor of Mississauga. I am proud to say that since that time, I have been elected to 11 consecutive terms in office, and in 2008 I celebrated my 30th consecutive year in office as mayor of Mississauga. In that time, I have seen this city grow from a collection of small towns among the cornfields to a vibrant urban center offering a multitude of jobs and opportunities.
