In June 2003, City Council passed the following recommendation: “That the Community Services Department in association with Ron Lenyk, Publisher of Mississauga News and the Museums Joint Fundraising Committee, be directed to proceed with the fundraising campaign to relocate the Port Credit Log Cabin to the Bradley Museum site.”

  10. The Cabin in the Woods Campaign The former Bradley Museums Advisory Board and the Friends of the Museums of Mississauga’s Log Cabin Task Force have worked with the Fundraising Committee to successfully raise all the funding and donated goods and services needed to move and restore the cabin.
