Welcome to our 27th installment of “Ask a Historian”.

Every week Heritage Mississauga will be taking questions about the history and heritage of Mississauga which our Historian, Matthew Wilkinson, will answer on Thursday afternoons.

#ApartTogether, Heritage Mississauga is the source for inquiries and curiosity about our beautiful city as we continue our mandate to research, record and celebrate the diverse heritage of Mississauga.

Join Historian Matthew Wilkinson on our YouTube channel Thursday November 26, 2020 at 4:00 p.m. for our latest episode of “Ask a Historian”.

This week Matthew answers questions about nurses who served during the First World War, the execution of a nurse for fulfilling her duties, and the various recruitment strategies used to implore, inspire and shame young men into enlisting.

#ApartTogether we continue to explore Mississauga’s connections to military service and remember the soldiers and nurses who bravely served.

You are invited to email us questions you have about Mississauga and we encourage you to send a short (less than 1 minute) MP4 video of your question, which we may feature in one of our “Ask a Historian” videos.

Any questions not featured in our videos will receive a written response from Matthew.

We would also love to feature questions from young Mississauga residents who are curious about their city and will feature a dedicated video to these inquisitive kids.
