Hazel McCallion passed away yesterday at the age of 101. She was the longest serving Mayor of Mississauga with over 30 years in office.
MISSISSAUGA - Hurricane Hazel has passed away at the age of 101.
Premier Doug Ford announced yesterday morning that Hazel McCallion passed away peacefully in her Mississauga home after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer.
McCallion served as the Mayor of Mississauga for over 30 years. She was first elected in 1978 and served until 2014.
Before her political career, McCallion was a professional hockey player in Montreal back in the 1930s. She was always known for keeping a pair of skates and a hockey stick in the trunk of her car, just in case she had the opportunity to participate in a pickup hockey game.
Hayley Wickenheiser, the former captain of the Canadian women's hockey team, says McCallian would often greet the team at the Toronto airport once they would return home after the Olympics.
