The Vital Signs Series

Introducing the Vital Signs Video Series

The Vital Signs series is your guide to understanding the key elements that shape the heart of Mississauga. Through this collection of videos, we’ll explore the factors that influence the city's growth, community well-being, and much more.

Vital Signs is a community report that combines national, provincial, and local data, alongside residents’ public opinion research on important local issues. This comprehensive report serves as a catalyst for conversations among community members, leaders, and organizations in Mississauga, fostering collaboration and driving action on the issues that matter most.
