    Grew up in Erin Mills "New Town" (1976-2005). Quite a few familiar places in this video that harken back to a much simpler time. Moved well north of the city to escape the hyper-development and traffic.

    Great promo film! I tried recreating much of this with MS Train Simulator. And have to say Train Sim World has a marvelous interactive depiction just west of Mississauga covering the Oakville/Hamilton area. Hopefully that will increase to cover more in future.

    1:17 - For those unaware, that’s the QEW and Erin Mills Pkw/Southdown Road, It was completely rebuilt in the early 2000s.
    The name change at the intersection today is the last remaining remnant of the old intersection, because under the old design Erin Mills and Southdown did not used to be directly attached, you had to go around the loop.

      If you think Mississauga is a great city, please tell me what drugs you are taking. Only someone dis-associated with reality would think anything in the GTA is "best city".

    And now it’s polluted over populated with traffic that’s totally unbearable and we call this progress! It was something wrong with the trains in those pictures, there was no graffiti or tagging on them more progress? I don’t think so! And that’s why I live almost 200 miles away in south western Ontario. I completely avoid Mississauga Brampton, as travelling there is a nightmare. I too miss the old days of Mississauga in Oakville when you can get in your car and drive to Brampton in 15 or 20 minutes or now probably will take you an hour! This is progress you can have it.

      Indeed! You may see something about skating on the Credit, in the Mississauga News, once winter is here. The practice was stopped around the time that Port Credit merged with Streetsville and the Town of Mississauga, into the City of Mississauga (1974), because the Port Credit Yacht Club had become tired of fishing people out of the harbour.
