Legends Row is a citizen-driven, volunteer initiative operated by a group of like-minded community activists and leaders who take great pride in our city’s accomplishments. Through a merger in 2020 with Heritage Mississauga, the Walk of Fame operates independent from the City of Mississauga under a License Agreement with the city that provides the space on Celebration Square to house Legends Row, and an annual operating grant to advance and maintain the project. We work closely with the Culture Division of the City to operate this popular outdoor museum.
