The Portuguese Cultural Centre of Mississauga (PCCM) is a cornerstone of the community, hosting events such as flag raisings, festivals, fundraisers, and Carassauga’s Portuguese Pavilion. It has been an honour to join these gatherings that celebrate heritage, foster connections across generations, and keep culture alive for future Canadians. The PCCM is more than a venue—it’s the heartbeat of the Portuguese community in Mississauga.
