The Community
Life in Port Credit has always focused on community. One enduring example is Port Credit Arena located on the east bank of the Credit River, with the Don Rowing Club visible on the west bank. It was built by community activists and was constructed between September 10, 1958 and the official opening on October 4, 1959. Built for $360,000, it is the second covered arena in the current city of Mississauga, the first public arena built, and is the oldest surviving arena in the city. The Arena has been home to countless sporting and social events, a well loved landmark and symbol of community spirit. It is the home of the Port Credit Storm hockey teams.
