  2. Former Mississauga, mayor Hazel McCallion served as mayor of Mississauga from 1978 until she retired in 2014 died of natural causes yesterday just days shy of her 102 birthday on Valentines day. After 36 years as Mississauga mayor, the fierce politician leaves behind a legacy unlike any other. She Instrumental is building and improving Mississauga to be Canada’s seventh-largest city and Ontario's 3rd largest city Nicknamed “Hurricane Hazel” for her outspoken political style, she took 12 municipal elections by storm, leaving her opponents with little chance of success. She remained active in politics as an advisor She saw the city through some of its worst events, including the 1979 Mississauga train derailment, (10th highest evacuation due to a disaster in history)which occurred just months after she first took office in 1978.She was a first responder and suffered an ankle injury helping people get out of town .. She was like no other. -Played pro womens hockey in her early years for 5 buck a game . Her No nonsense, lets get things done approach has her as one of the longest serving politician in North America. Mississauga will never be the same ..

  15. Just some thoughts on the demolishing of LeStudio Morin Heights and some sentimental value it had for me and maybe some Rush or music fans of artists that recorded there? Yes all good things must come to an end is what I have always believed and you cant live in the past or beat the dead horse, you move on with change .There are many special places all over the world with a story that are long gone. As a kid there was always something intriguing about the 3 rush videos and seeing that LeStudio sign in the background .It made me curious about what was special about that place for the band who produced so many great albums out of there and reading linear notes and album sleeves and listening to their interviews about the studio and stories of so many other bands going up there to record music .In its day it was one of the most unique premier facilities of its kind . Technically (the trident& ssl console, superb personnel recording engineers etc ), Acoustically ( natural wood ambiance of the studio rooms. having amps put outside to capture reverb from the mountains-cannot duplicate some of these natural sounds - ) and one of the best tranquil places to record in the world- many report the sessions were great there and for many years that Rush called home.The uniqueness of this facility, was a big part of their abilities to jam or record in that environment to play volleyball,relax,drink,ski (who knows) and produce arguably some or even their best material which in this day an age cannot be duplicated again in someones basement Having visited the property in 2014 was cool. It felt like Rush sacred grounds and imagined what it could have been like standing in the very spot Neil had his drums and looking on to Lac Perry where the red tama poster was photographed was inspirational and fulfilling Realizing back then the facility served its purpose since 1974 and so much great music was recorded there, shortly after vandals got at it and a fire happened destroying 1/2 of it. The place deserves to be noted as one of the most notable recording facilities of its time but soon demolished for safety reasons in hopes of using the site for a music museum site of sorts. I never supported and remain skeptical of the LeStudio rebuild campaign by who by all accounts put in a gallant effort to save it but at the end of the day appears to just a huge Rush fan with sentimental ties to the history of the studio until the wrecking ball crew came in recently. As a Rush fan- I will always consider LeStudio sacred grounds and hope the property will become something meaningful. As a fan of the Studio -it had a lot of roots, a Canadian gem of its time-thanks Andre Perry- some of the best bands and material that came out of that place - A piece of history As far as it being gone - all good things must come to an end -not gonna lose much over it (I was lucky to see it) Oh if those walls could talk . - It was a special place at the right time when the stars of Morin Heights perfectly aligned to pull off those songs from albums such as MP,PeW, and the list goes on
