foreign
welcome to beautiful downtown Mississauga everybody and I'd like to start this video
with a bit of a confession because I've been telling you all for so long that I'm from Toronto
and now that we're back home everyone's saying hey Steve show us your hometown show us Toronto
show us the place you were born and raised take us to the CN Tower and in all honesty
guys I'm not actually from Toronto I am from a place called Mississauga where we are now
and it's a city right beside Toronto so maybe we'll show you the Toronto Vlog one day but we
will be tourists in that City yes and so in the meantime here we are at the outdoor skating rink
in the place I was actually born and raised uh downtown right in front of Mississauga City Hall
foreign
has changed a lot since I was here last you guys can hear the music playing there's a bit of a DJ
set up over there there's no DJ yet maybe it's not in full swing yet and all around the condos are
building up like crazy yeah I think it's about time where I'm traveling internationally and
people say where are you from I'll say Mississauga oh there's a bit of a scene down here this is
a real downtown uh Vibe there's a bunch of food trucks over here maybe we can check out some Great
Canadian beaver tail later oh when I was growing up here it was no downtown it was just a suburb of
Toronto it was just a suburb of Toronto oh yeah but I think nowadays Mississauga is a real City
by the way my mom can skate I know I thought she was gonna wipe out there
I wish I couldn't be with you guys on the AIS we're gonna teach you how to skate everyone in
one day yeah one day good all right three more laps dude shout out to Mississauga
this is a real scene on a Saturday afternoon yeah downtown Mississauga how fun unexpected
foreign by the way look at these skates these are like these belong in a museum
how old are they older than me I think and by the way Real Canadian no socks
and escapes okay Barefoot of the snakes you gotta feel the ice skating years very fun
thank you
assistant my parents have awarded themselves oldest couple on the rink award
so share it to them still skating in their 60s holding hand and skating very cute and I will say
this very nice to see young and old new Canadians men and women East Asian South Asians saw a couple
ladies in hijab skating this is a completely free activity if you're living in Mississauga
paying taxes you should be here there's a reason Canada wins nine out of 10 gold medals in Olympics
hockey for the past hundred years all right distinctly Canadian activity and totally free
and so my parents said this did exist um when I was a kid okay but it wasn't like this they got
DJs and speakers and they're selling drinks food trucks it's really booing Mississauga is nearly
a million people nowadays wow this is a soccer baby born and race all right the journey continues
classic cinnamon sugar and lemon cinnamon sugar and lemon beaver tail
this is a stinkly Canadian street food and I will say this maybe I'm a bad Canadian I've
never had one it's like fried dough like fried donut sort of like a churros in a different
form fried dough cinnamon sugar can't be bad good try it tastes like fried donut like you go ahead
like a flat donut how can it be bad and it's hot and warm in this whole day very good a whole bunch
of food trucks here and evidently another new feature to Mississauga is the stage here where
they do concerts so mine the snow but you can imagine a big grass field here A bunch of people
enjoying a free show in downtown Mississauga not a bad main Square for a city of a million people I'm
quite proud of Mississauga City our city was like a vibrant downtown here and definitely booming
some of the buildings we're looking at some of the condos are quite cool looking they've been
twisted and curvy and funky and uh what a place to live I love it I mean my family lives on the
other side of town so I'm from Scarborough another city another little town suburb of Toronto so I've

here in the snow we're actually joined today by my lovely niece and nephew who are just
little ones and I'm sure they're actually loving the fact that it's snowing right
now sort of adds to the magic of the winter wonderland and so come along with us as we
have a nice family day in the snow in a place filled with more than 2 million light bulbs
I tell you what my mom is having fun today I think you're enjoying it more than the kids mom
it's fun it's fun
so I tell you what this place and for families and for children because it's very thematically
designed where every section has accompanying music so this is the horse section there was the
spider section with more scary music there was the winter wonderland section with the company
sort of magical almost Christmas music I think it's designed for families and for kids but I'm
having a nice experience yeah I'm still having fun I love the carousel the carousel very nice
it's nice to act like a kid just dress warm and come enjoy the cheers Winter Wonderland
and it goes to show you just how much there is to do in Mississauga because I was born
and raised like 20 minutes from this place and I never knew it existed are they certainly new
I think it's fairly new attraction but it's very elaborate and very well done so there you have it
guys shout out to Mississauga born and raised 27 years living in Mississauga yeah and there's more
to do for tourists than I had thought you guys know I always thought there's nothing to do in
Mississauga but we had a pretty good day from we always say Toronto but Toronto is actually
two hours away from Mississauga so we're from the suburb I'm from the suburb of Toronto okay there
you have it guys thanks for watching our video shout out to Mississauga love you later skaters
