We Built This City

Mississauga is filled with a rich history and relationship with food!

In this episode of We Built This City, we dive into the fascinating history of food production, and its role in shaping the city we know today. From the humble beginnings of Ontario’s first commercial vineyard to the towering flour mills that once lined the Credit River, food has been a cornerstone of the community’s development. The Clare House Winery, Mississauga's Flour Mills, the inspiring story of Mohamad Fakih who was the visionary behind Paramount Fine Foods, and the evolution of the Streetsville Bread and Honey Festival are all stories we explore to pay homage to the agricultural roots of the community of commerce that was founded in Mississauga as far back as the 1860's.
