A small, unassuming community hall in Mississauga\u2019s west end where people would gather in the early 20th century for social occasions and to conduct political business of the day is in line for several major upgrades.<\/p>\n
Plans to restore the historically important Erindale Community Hall include, among other work, the installation of new main-floor windows and a new roof to top the structure, which is situated on the south side of Dundas Street West steps east of Mississauga Road.<\/p>\n
The hall\u2019s quiet appearance blends in with the area, with Erindale Park and the banks of the Credit River just across the street.<\/p>\n
Still, the small building speaks loudly to a local Erindale Village history that in the early 1900s placed a great importance on a sense of community and of people coming together for various occasions, social and otherwise.<\/p>\n

Erindale Community Hall hasn\u2019t grown much in size \u2014 if at all \u2014 since it was built in October 1928.<\/p>\n
Now, nearly 100 years later, the City of Mississauga\u2019s heritage advisory committee is poised to approve recommended work that includes:<\/p>\n
Restoring of masonry, wood soffits, exposed rafter tails and original basement windows.
\nInstalling casement aluminum-clad wood windows where replacements exist.
\nInstalling a new roof.
\nInstalling new accessible pedestrian walkways, repaving and updating the parking lot.
\nInstalling two tilt-up manual lift gates to limit vehicle access.<\/p>\n
The recommendations, contained in a report from the city\u2019s commissioner of planning and building Andrew Whittemore, will be considered by members of the heritage advisory committee when they meet next Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe project includes restoration of the building as well as the installation of new main-floor windows that are more in keeping with the character of the edifice,\u201d Whittemore stated in the report, adding the recommended changes \u201cwould have a positive impact on the use of the facility and do not negatively impact its character.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added the proposed upgrades would also make the property more accessible.<\/p>\n
The multi-year project, if approved, would cost the city $1.43 million, according to the report.<\/p>\n
A big part of Mississauga\u2019s history<\/p>\n
Though Erindale Community Hall may be small, it\u2019s a big \u2014 and illuminating \u2014 part of Mississauga\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
In the early part of the last century, and for decades beyond that time, the hall was constantly alive with the sounds and presence of people who\u2019d gather for an array of social events, political sessions and other various public meetings.<\/p>\n
