This is a rare opportunity for you to own an ORIGINAL, one-of-a-kind painting by Mississauga Mayor, Hazel McCallion.  All proceeds from the sale of this painting will go to The Kidney Foundation of Canada so that the Foundation can continue to fund much needed kidney research and improve the lives of people living with kidney disease.

Now in her 11th term, Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion is the longest serving mayor in the city's history. Born in Port Daniel on the Gaspe Coast of Quebec and educated in Quebec City and Montreal, she entered municipal politics in 1967.

First elected Mayor of Mississauga in November 1978, McCallion has played a leading role for women in politics. She has served on virtually every committee at the Region of Peel and the City of Mississauga, as well as served on the executive of many federal and provincial committees and associations, including a term as President of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario from 1978 to 1979.

In May 2005, McCallion was honoured with an award from the province of Ontario in recognition of her more than 30 years of service as a municipal elected official. In November of the same year she was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada and received her Insignia of Member of the Order of Canada at a ceremony held at Rideau Hall.

McCallion has three children: Peter, Linda and Paul, and one granddaughter, Erika, and enjoys ice hockey, fishing and gardening.

The Kidney Foundation of Canada is the national volunteer organization committed to reducing the burden of kidney disease through:
