MISSISSAUGA, ONT. — The Hurontario LRT will be known as the Hazel McCallion Line to commemorate the achievements and contributions of Hazel McCallion, the former mayor of the City of Mississauga.
Premier Doug Ford and Caroline Mulroney, minister of transportation, issued a statement on Feb. 14, McCallion’s birthday.
“With decades of public service under her belt, McCallion, known locally as ‘Hurricane Hazel,’ is a trailblazer and inspirational figure in Canadian history, and it is only fitting to have her legacy honoured today, on her 101st birthday,” reads the statement.
“The Hazel McCallion Line will be a gamechanger for the people of Brampton and Mississauga. The 18-kilometre LRT line will connect people to public transit and link GO Transit’s Milton and Lakeshore West lines, the Mississauga Transitway, Brampton Transit, Züm and MiWay.”
