The weatherman forecast rain for Saturday, August 29th 2009 but it was a beautiful sunny afternoon after all. Perfect weather for the Mississauga-based Relaxology Wellness Centre to launch its two newest locations in the city. On hand was the popular 88 year-old Mayor Hazel McCallion to help with the grand opening. Hon. Bob Dechert, Member of Parliament for Erindale was there to personally convey the well wishes of Prime Mister Stephen Harper on this special occasion.

With the economic woe currently being experienced around the world and the stress of the stumbling economy, the concept of relaxation provided by Relaxology must be very effective because they are still expanding despite the challenging circumstances. The two newest locations were officially opened on August 29th 2009 at Golden Square (1777 Central Parkway West) and Mississauga Chinese Centre (888 Dundas Street East). A crowd of friends and customers was on hand to enjoy generous helpings of Chinese food, India samosas and drinks and to watch the traditional lion dance to help usher in good fortune for the business. To help celebrate the grand opening, all services for the day were reduced to half-price and all beauty products were being offered at a 30% discount.
According to Ms. Teresa Hsin, Relaxology founder and general manager, the company is doing extremely well and she is expecting to open her fifth and sixth locations in Mississauga and Brampton, respectively, later this year. Hsin attributes her company’s success to the value customers receive from the services the company provides. Retired NHL player, Mr. Shayne Corson, tried one of the relaxation sessions and said he wished he could have a session every week. Vice Chair, Mr. Victor Oh, from Safe City Mississauga also tried one and felt great relief after only one session and attributes that to the well-trained therapist at the centre.

M.P.P. Peter Fonseca's Annual Free Community BBQ















On Sunday, August 23rd at the Mississauga Valley Arena, over 3000 residents of the Mississauga East-Cooksville area attended M.P.P Peter Fonseca's Annual Free Community BBQ. It was an awesome turnout! Everyone enjoyed the thick juicy burgers, the tangy three bean salad, the refreshing beverages, and scrumptious Ontario apples! The entertainment was spectacular! Gunter and Serega sang and played music that made you want to get up and dance while the Urban Youth Dancers showed off their hype hip hop moves. Pompina the clown, Elmo and Dora entertained the youth. Children bounced around in the bouncy castle, had their faces painted, received crayons and colouring books, got henna tattoos, and enjoyed some buttery popcorn and sweet cotton candy. There were tons of free give-aways; coffee mugs, re-usable grocery bags, pins, fans, and lots of cool prizes for kids. Over 15 community organizations joined Peter at the BBQ to promote and educate the public on important issues such as energy conservation by Enersource, proper hand washing by Peel Health, safe communities by Peel Crime Stoppers, keeping fit with YMCA and so much more. Peter was ecstatic to have such a huge turn-out this year and plans to make next year's bbq bigger and better as he celebrates his 5th anniversary. Mark your calendars for next year's huge celebration at the Mississauga Valley Park; hope to see you there again!

Mississauga No1. Culture and art Centre















In 1880s Andrew Onderdonk's help consolidated and united Canada with the completion of the railway link from coast to coast. However, in order for him to complete the railway he undertook to bring in 14000 Chinese workers to help him. Out of the 14000 Chinese coolies who work on the railroad almost half of them scarifies their lives to complete the task.

Canadian historical has showed us the important contribution made by Chinese to save the country’s unity and once again Chinese has enriched the country with its culture. Today Canada is blessed with such diversities and enjoy the rich multiculturalism in part due to it immigration policy. The Chinese too has richly added to this mosaic with it diverse cultural dances, arts and food and on Friday August 21st 2009 in Mississauga it is going to get a whole lot better with the inauguration of the Mississauga No.1 Culture and Art centre. On hand for the grand opening and ribbon cutting for the centre were Hon. Bob Dechert Member of Parliament for Mississauga-Erindale, Hon. Harinder Takhar Member of Provicial Parliament and Minister of Government Services for Ontario, Inspector George Koekkoek of Peel Regional Police, Mr. Ou-Yang Yang Sheng President of the PinTan Association of Canada and Mr. Victor Oh Vice Chair of Safe City Mississauga.

After the the official opening the centre put on a show of talent that will be taught in the centre to entertain the crowds.
