Tomorrow's leaders honoured today by Bill Tremblay, Mississauga News, May 16, 2011. Mississauga's future leaders have been awarded for their ideas on how to make their hometown a world-class city.
The local Knights of Columbus challenged students in Grades 6-12 to write an essay explaining how Mississauga could become a world-class city. The contest, organized by the club's Leaders of Tomorrow program, received more than 200 submissions from teachers and students at about 50 schools.
The inaugural competition was named after Mayor Hazel McCallion, who presented the awards yesterday at the Living Arts Centre.
"Give (youth) an opportunity to show their leadership ability," McCallion said. "That's what will make a city great, a province great and Canada great."
Pierre Wong, chair of the Leaders of Tomorrow program, thanked the mayor for allowing the Knights of Columbus to use her name.
"She is our model and there is only one mayor I know for Mississauga," Wong said.
