The film: CreativeHub 1352 is excited to announce the launch of "The Stories of Lakeview & Small Arms Inspection Building," a film project that celebrates the rich history of Lakeview and the historic Small Arms Inspection Building, produced by CreativeHub 1352 and created by Patti Jannetta Baker and Gabriella Bank. Once a critical site during World War II, where dedicated workers including thousands of young women, travelled across Canada to do their patriotic duty, the building is now a cultural hub for creativity and community engagement. The film chronicles the broader development of the Lakeview area, which has grown into one of Mississauga's most vibrant neighborhoods and delves into the contributions of those who journeyed duty-bound to the Small Arms Inspection Building to support the war effort.
The photography exhibition: Entitled "Mississauga Then & Now," this exhibition commemorates 50 years of the City of Mississauga; capturing the transformation of the city, from its industrial roots to its present as a thriving urban center.
Digital photography works by Cawthra Park SS Grade 12 Visual Arts RAP class presented on Nov. 1st and through instagram stories.
Many thanks to the Mississauga Foundation and the Mississauga Arts Council for their generous funding.
