The 5 & Dime Walking Tour created by Camille Turner explores the vibrant area located in the heart of Cooksville, one of the villages that was amalgamated into the city of Mississauga. 5 is highway 5/Dundas Street and dime is highway 10/Hurontario street, two major highways that intersect in Mississauga, one of Canada’s fastest growing cities. The walk recognizes the area as a local treasure and an important site of Mississauga’s cultural heritage. This area is an important cultural hub where one can experience astonishing diversity from around the world, all within a few short blocks. Here, the passion and drive of the small business owners is highlighted along with the wide variety of goods and services they offer to the public. Turner created the walk during her artist residency with the city of Mississauga.
