| The City of Mississauga |
SUMMARY
Mississauga is one of Canada's fastest growing cities, as a result of the city's abundance of industrial and residential land, a large regional workforce and easy access to both local and international markets. Five expressways and two major rail lines service the city, and Pearson Airport is only 15 minutes from any business site. Located on the western edge of the Toronto Region, Mississauga is only 90 minutes from the U.S border at Niagara Falls.
