Good morning Mississauga,
There’s a lot worth putting on the calendar this week.
Streetsville has a butter tart market, Port Credit is hosting Portugalo Fest, and Chai ’n’ Comedy brings an easy Sunday afternoon option if you want something different.
We’ve also got a few shows worth booking ahead, plus another new restaurant on the way to Ridgeway Plaza.
Let’s get into it!
This Week's Local Feature
Aurum Satori Spa
What Actually Happens During a Japanese Head Spa?
You shampoo your hair. You condition it. You keep up with trims and appointments.
But the scalp underneath it is easy to overlook.
Oil, dry skin and product can build up over time, leaving your scalp feeling like it could use a reset.
At Aurum Satori Spa, that reset comes with a chance to slow down.
Warm steam surrounds you. A relaxing scalp massage helps release built-up tension. Then comes their soft-water waterfall, gently rinsing and soothing the scalp so it feels fresh and clean.
That feeling is what Aurum’s Glow Ritual is built around.
For 90 unhurried minutes, the Japanese head spa is paired with a mini facial, leaving you feeling refreshed from head to toe.
The complete 90-minute Aurum Glow Ritual is available for $130 at Aurum Satori Spa in Mississauga.
Want to stay a bit longer? The Summer Renewal Journey pairs the Japanese head spa with a mini facial and an arm and neck massage in a 120-minute experience for $160.
The Sauga Box Office
The Grand Illusion Show: WONDR
📅 Friday, September 25 | 📍 The Rec Room Square One
WONDR brings a live magic and illusion show to The Rec Room Square One, with an all-ages format and tickets in a lower-cost night-out range.
It is a straightforward night-out pick for families, couples, or friend groups near Square One.
Why save it: It is a ticketed, one-night Square One show, so booking ahead makes it easier to lock in seats and plan food, parking, or arcade time around it.
Panchali: The Feminine Fire
📅 Saturday, September 26 | 📍 Meadowvale Theatre
This solo Bharatanatyam dance production tells the Mahabharata through Panchali, also known as Draupadi, with storytelling, lights, music and movement.
Surbhi Raninga takes on more than 14 characters in one performance. The show includes English, Hindi and Sanskrit.
Why save it: It is a one-night Meadowvale Theatre show with tickets from $35, and the solo format gives dance and theatre fans a clear reason to plan ahead.
Chai 'n' Comedy
📅 Sunday, September 20 | 📍 Shah Karahi & Grill
Chai 'n' Comedy brings an 18+ South Asian stand up show to Shah Karahi & Grill, with comedians performing in Hindi and Urdu and every ticket including chai and snacks.
Doors open at 2:30 p.m. and the show starts at 3 p.m. Seating is first come, first served, with online tickets recommended.
Why save it: It’s a seated comedy show with food included, so booking ahead helps if you want a simple Sunday plan with friends.
The Art of the String Orchestra
📅 Saturday, September 26 | 📍 Studio Theatre LAC
The Mississauga Symphony Orchestra opens its new Chamber Orchestra Series with Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Dvořák, Holst, and Barber in the Studio Theatre at the Living Arts Centre.
Why save it: The symphony says the chamber concerts use a smaller room with limited seating, which makes this one better to book early.
Sauga Spotlight
Upper Canada WILLS
Your Will is only part of the plan.
You may already have a Will in place. But there is still one important question it does not answer.
If illness, an accident, or declining health leaves you unable to manage things yourself, who can legally step in?
Who would pay your bills, manage your money, or deal with your home? And who would make medical or personal-care decisions on your behalf?
That is where Powers of Attorney come in.
A Power of Attorney for Property lets you choose who can manage your finances and property if you are unable to. A Power of Attorney for Personal Care lets you choose who can make healthcare and personal-care decisions for you.
Putting those choices in writing now can make a difficult time easier for the people closest to you.
Upper Canada WILLS helps Ontarians work with licensed estate lawyers to prepare or update Wills and Powers of Attorney, at rates that average 40% below comparable national averages.
Individual Package: $595 + tax, including a legal Will and two Power of Attorney forms.
Couples Package: $795 + tax, including Wills and Powers of Attorney for both partners.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or updating what you already have, book a free consultation with an Ontario estate lawyer to talk through your options and see what needs to be put in place.
