Leave your mark on Mississauga’s music history!
Mississauga songwriters, submit an original anthem about Mississauga to Mississauga Arts Council and SoundsUnite in honour of the City’s 50th anniversary for your chance to win a recording and mixing session from Metalworks Studios and have your song named “Mississauga’s 50th Anthem”!
“On the upcoming 50th anniversary of the City of Mississauga, I had a vision to create an anthem for Mississauga,” Ward 1 Councillor Stephen Dasko says. “My initiative was received with open arms by Metalworks Studios, Mississauga Arts Council and the creative industries at the City of Mississauga, who collaboratively came together to host this song contest for the most unique and fitting song to help celebrate the City of Mississauga’s milestone.”
“Mississauga’s 50th anniversary is a milestone that should be celebrated and what better way than recording a new city anthem,” mentions Gil Moore, Founder and CEO of Metalworks Studios, “Metalworks and SoundsUnite are excited and proud to record the winner and share the joy of music with our community.”
“A winning local singer-songwriter can make themselves a part of our history. Write the anthem heard across the city in 2024, and be part of every celebration of our City’s 50th Anniversary. The legendary Tommy Hunter wrote the first one, now who will write the next one?” asks Mike Douglas, Executive Director of MAC

Maestro Denis Mastromonaco and the Mississauga Symphony Orchestra, and Juno Award winning singer and songwriter Suzie McNeil to be Inducted as part of this year’s Tim Horton’s Southside Shuffle Blues and Jazz Festival.
The Mississauga Music Walk of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place on September 10, 2023 at 11 am at Memorial Park’s Gazebo Stage in Port Credit, Ontario and the public is welcome to join the festivities.
The Mississauga Symphony Orchestra (MSO) is passionate about, and committed to, maintaining, and continuing the tradition of classical symphonic music in Mississauga. The MSO takes pride in their designation as the best hybrid orchestra in Canada, a term that describes an orchestra with a mixture of professional musicians and highly skilled amateurs. Under the direction of Maestro Denis Mastromonaco since 2013, the orchestra continues to offer entertaining and increasingly sophisticated programs performed to the highest artistic standards. With the inclusion of the Mississauga Symphony Youth Orchestra in 2014, the organization has become the centre of classical music in Mississauga, built around the pillars of music education, performance, and entertainment.
Suzie McNeil, born and raised in Mississauga, is a powerful vocalist, songwriter and talented performer who became a household name in 2005 when she was the last woman standing on the CBS reality show, Rockstar: INXS. She has since gone on to have eleven Top 20 hits in Canada including her hit song ‘Believe’ which she performed at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics Closing Ceremonies. In addition to having the exciting opportunity to sing back up for P!NK on her North American Tour, she has also performed with Alan Frew, Jeff Healey, Blue Rodeo, Dave Navarro, Scott Weiland, Gavin Rossdale, Clay Aitkin, and Foreigner. Recently, Suzie made history by joining Aerosmith on their Las Vegas residency, singing backup vocals with Steven Tyler, and has just announced that she will be joining Aerosmith on their “Peace Out” farewell tour. They will be coming to Toronto just 2 days after the Walk Of Fame ceremony on September 12 at the Scotiabank Centre, where she will perform with Aerosmith in front of a hometown crowd.
