City of Mississauga | Entertainment and activities | March 3, 2025
“The City of Mississauga proudly joins the global celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025, recognizing the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
Women make up approximately 43 per cent of all positions at the City of Mississauga. Women in leadership roles make up 47 per cent and can be found in traditionally male-dominated fields such as Fire Services, Engineering, Construction, Security, Parks, Forestry and IT. Mississauga has a strong history of female leadership, with numerous women serving as Councillors and Mayors, including Hazel McCallion (1978–2014), Bonnie Crombie (2014–2024) and Carolyn Parrish (since 2024).
Mississauga remains committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment, supporting women’s initiatives and acknowledging their contributions to the community. To mark this important day, the City has launched a dedicated webpage featuring special events, programs and resources aimed at empowering and celebrating women.
Residents are encouraged to participate in the City’s International Women’s Day activities and support local initiatives dedicated to advancing gender equality.
