Little Peter and the Elegants Live at Port Credit Memorial Park!
Little Peter and the Elegants is an 8-piece band and is truly based in Port Credit. The original band members attended Port Credit Secondary School and performed for the first time at the school’s Christmas Concert in December 1973. It was a time of nostalgia with the stage musical Grease in 1972, the movie American Graffiti in 1973 and the TV show Happy Days in 1974. Some of the original members will attend the September 1 concert celebrating the band’s 50th anniversary!
The current band line-up has been together for roughly 12 years. Even though the band members have changed over the years, what remains the same is their love of the music from the 50s, 60s and early 70s with a focus on vocal harmonies! An 8-member band is considered rather large. 3 singers are backed by musicians on keyboard, guitar, bass, sax and drums, 4 of whom also sing. The band members take turns singing lead and offering backing harmonies. The band covers vocal groups such as The Platters, Dion and the Belmonts and The Beach Boys as well as solo artists like Elvis Presley, Fats Domino and Roy Orbison. The music the band plays is enjoyed by all ages-the band is truly a “generation bridge”!

Workshop | Forgotten Treasures
2026-03-11 01:11 | Art Gallery of Mississauga, 300 City Centre Drive, Mississauga, Ontario, L5B 2G6, Canada
In this reflective workshop, artist Tiina Salo-Devries invites you to explore the emotional landscape of loss and memory associated with the objects we’ve had to leave behind. Whether lost in moving or left behind in our homelands, these objects hold significant emotional weight, representing the lives and stories we’ve carried with us.
Participants will engage in a group discussion to share the stories of these important objects—their significance, the regret of leaving them behind, and the memories they evoke. Through this shared dialogue, we will delve into these lost items’ impact on our identities and sense of belonging.
Following the discussion, we will channel these emotions into a creative exercise. Using collage techniques or mind mapping, participants will visually express the essence of their missing objects. We will explore various aspects such as colour, shape, functionality, and the feelings associated with the object’s use or memory, creating a unique and personal representation of what was left behind.
This workshop is generously funded by TD Bank Group, Rama Gaming House Mississauga and Charitable Gaming Community Good.

Dreamland: An exhibition about home, identity and the art of belonging
2026-03-11 01:11 | Bradley Museum, 1620 Orr Road, Mississauga, ON, L5J 4T2, Canada
Dreamland, curated by Hibah Mian, poses the question: “Is it possible to exist in two places at one time?”
The project illustrates new ways to understand the passage of one space to another, the move from a home to a house, while learning stories of trauma and transformation. Dreamland looks at BIPOC artists’ works and residents in Mississauga to conceptualize the use of public spaces that propose associations between the immigrant or refugee in a western world.
Featured artists include:

Baljit Singh,
Yazan Salameh,
Karim Machado-Aman,
Krystal Ball, and
Par Nair.

This project is funded through the Museums’ BIPOC Community Curator Program.

Workshop | Treasured Keepsakes
2026-03-11 01:11 | Art Gallery of Mississauga, 300 City Centre Drive, Mississauga, Ontario, L5B 2G6, Canada
In this thought-provoking workshop, artist Tiina Salo-Devries invites you to reflect on the things in your current life that have become deeply meaningful—those treasured keepsakes you would choose to take with you if you were to move away.
The session begins with a group discussion about what has become dear to you during your time here. Is it a tangible object or something more intangible, like a memory, a feeling, or an experience? Together, we’ll explore the connections between physical objects and the intangible qualities they represent. Can an object encapsulate an emotion, a memory, or a sense of belonging?
After our discussion, you’ll have the opportunity to channel your reflections into a creative project. We will craft a large postcard that represents what you would send to your past self—capturing what you would take from this place. This exercise will explore how objects and memories intertwine, creating a personal memento of your journey.
This workshop is generously funded by TD Bank Group, Rama Gaming House Mississauga and Charitable Gaming Community Good.
