McCallion died early Sunday, Premier Doug Ford announced shortly after 8 a.m.

“There isn’t a single person who met Hazel who didn’t leave in awe of her personality,” he said in a statement.Rex Murphy: Harry Steele's drive was immense. His Newfoundlander's heart was larger

“She would ask me, what do you want to accomplish in life?” said McCallion. “Do you want to be a follower or do you want to take advantage of opportunities to be a leader?” McCallion was elected as mayor of Streetsville in 1970 and served until 1973, when the town was amalgamated into the City of Mississauga. She served as councillor until 1978, when she became the first elected mayor of the city.

“I ran as a people’s mayor and with the intention to build a great city to raise a family,” said McCallion. She knew how to use the media to her advantage, said Urbaniak, and she knew how to get other government officials to rally behind her. While Roy McMurtry, the attorney general of Ontario at the time, was in charge of managing the crisis, Urbaniak said you would have never known.

Goodness gracious. She was 101 years old, but I'm still shocked. Incredible woman. Classy to the end. R.I.P. Hurricane Hazel.

Canadian history is brand new. Nobody cares non-multiculturalism past.

RIP Hurricane Hazel.

Too bad her affiliation with Doug’s Greenbelt grift taints her legacy….

Was she sick?

What a life what a lady big hugs to the family

Must have been the booster.

Amazing woman! 🙏
