Mississauga
Often referred to as Mississauga's "Village on the Lake," the picturesque village of Port Credit enjoys a rich history and a magnificent harbor setting alongside Lake Ontario.
A haven for boating enthusiasts, Port Credit offers a wealth of watersports amenities for residents and visitors alike. The Credit Village Marina is a dynamic public waterfront facility with a first-class transient marina, waterfront cycling and pedestrian trails, and picturesque parks. Lively boating events are held throughout the summer and include the Lake Ontario 300 Race, the Lake Ontario Short Handed Racing Series, and the ever popular Susan Hood Trophy Race, which has been a tradition at the Port Credit Yacht Club since the 1950s.
For those who prefer to enjoy the lake on solid ground, Port Credit's numerous waterfront trails are a delight. Trails can be used for walking, cycling, jogging, roller blading, and even cross-country skiing during the winter months. Port Credit's other recreational offerings include world-class golf facilities at The Mississauga Golf and Country Club and The Toronto Golf Club, the third oldest golf club in North America.
Music festivals, and other lively events further enhance this charming community. Port Credit Memorial Park is the home of the Mississauga Waterfront Festival, an arts and entertainment event attracting more than 65,000 people annually, as well as the Southside Shuffle, Port Credit's annual blues and jazz festival.
Port Credit has a wide array of shops, boutiques, restaurants, cafés, marina services, and fine food markets, all within walking distance of the downtown area. Residents enjoy a convenient location 15-minutes from the Toronto Pearson International Airport and a 20-minute drive to downtown Toronto.
