The Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors are excited to announce that they’ll be holding a “Meet the Majors” barbecue at Mississauga Civic Square (city hall) on Saturday, September 8 from 11-3:00 p.m.  There will be entertainment provided for all age levels and a press conference will be held at noon, featuring Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion and Majors Owner Eugene Melnyk.

The event will feature numerous kids’ activities such as the Majors shooting inflatable and face painting.  Also, City Centre Drive will be blocked off and an exciting street hockey tournament is expected to break out!

Many of the Majors corporate and community partners will be on-hand to distribute materials.  At the same time, the team will be handing out prizing for future games.  Also, there will be live music, Rogers Television will be swinging by with their Community Cruiser, and a number of Majors players will be on-hand to sign autographs.

The best part is that it’s all free-of-charge!  Come join in the fun as the Majors make their official launch in their new city!

The Majors events team has been actively involved in many City of Mississauga initiatives this summer, such as My Mississauga events at the Civic Centre and key community gatherings such as the Bread & Honey Festival, Waterfront Festival, Rotary Ribfest and Canada Day.  Also, club representatives delivered a message on nutrition and active living to ten sports camps during the months of July and August.

The Majors 2007-08 regular season home-opener takes place on Friday, October 5 versus the Windsor Spitfires at 7:30 p.m.
