Mississauga is the ideal city to live in.  The city is close enough to commute to work anywhere in the GTA, yet outside of the hustle and bustle of central Toronto.  With seven major highways passing through the city, Mississauga offers fast and convenient access to all major destinations in Canada and the United States.  Toronto Pearson International Airport,  Canada's busiest airport, is located in the city.  Mississauga has doubled in size in each of the last two decades. Mississauga had the largest population growth in Canada (89,500) between the census years of 1986-1991.

    As Toronto's economy has continued to grow, Mississauga has followed suit, building predominantly low-density tract housing and high rise condominiums to attract individuals tired of city life. At the same time, businesses saw the benefits of opening in Mississauga - low tax rates, proximity to a number of transportation routes (air, rail, road), proximity to Toronto, and an abundance of land (at least, at the time) - and it soon became desirable to locate there. The city is debt-free and has not borrowed money since 1978.
