Who We Are and Why Join
The Mississauga Camera Club is a community of photography enthusiasts, ranging in skill levels from beginner level to professionals. We are a welcoming group, passionate about learning, encouraging one another, finding inspiration, and having fun.
Whether you shoot still images or videos, with a dedicated camera, a phone, or a drone, you are welcome here.
In-person meetings are held at the Lucy Turnbull Auditorium facility located inside the Mississauga Seniors’ Centre at 1389 Cawthra Road.
Our Program
Our regular club meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month from September to July. They include Photography Presentations by speakers from around the world who share their images and provide insights into their craft.
There are also Member’s Show and Tell and Audio-Visual Events where you can share a selection of your favourite images and the stories behind them.
Our Annual Brochure contains all the details, including which ones are In Person and which are Meet From Home via Zoom.
Special Interest Groups (SIG)
These groups enhance skills in particular areas of interest.
Each SIG meets once a month via Zoom, from September to July. Meetings are on a Monday at 7 PM. However, the Location Travel SIG meets on a Tuesday. Please check the Club Calendar for specific dates for each SIG.
