Wisma Mega Indah Inc

Since 1983 Annie Liem had submitted numerous applications to the Non-Profit Association without any success. Liem never gave up hope and finally in 1987, she had the opportunity to meet Mayor Hazel McCallion of Mississauga. Liem seized this opportunity and zealously expressed to Mayor Hazel McCallion the dire need to build a non-profit apartment for the low income residents in Mississauga. The Mayor then introduced Annie to David Culham, then Councillor of Ward 6 and also to Keith Ward, who was the Director of the Non-Profit Housing Association. From thereon the dream to build a non-profit apartment began to take shape. Although there were many challenges to overcome, the idealistic dream to provide more living opportunities for Mississauga citizens was unyielding. One such challenge was to obtain the necessary zoning requirements (at the time Wisma's ground was not zoned for high rise residence). Fortunately, David Culham stepped in and helped in obtaining the zoning for this project.
