Here's How Mississauga is Celebrating International Women’s Day 2025

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day, #AccelerateAction, emphasizes the need to advance gender equality and create opportunities for women to thrive in all aspects of society.

Women make up approximately 43 per cent of all positions at the City of Mississauga. Women in leadership roles make up 47 per cent and can be found in traditionally male-dominated fields such as Fire Services, Engineering, Construction, Security, Parks, Forestry and IT. Mississauga has a strong history of female leadership, with numerous women serving as Councillors and Mayors, including Hazel McCallion (1978–2014), Bonnie Crombie (2014–2024) and Carolyn Parrish (since 2024).

Mississauga remains committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment, supporting women’s initiatives and acknowledging their contributions to the community.
