Since Misssissauga is so much larger than I was a kid, this is easier to say.
At YHM, there would be Peninsula Air Service, Marsh Brothers, and Hamilton Flying Club. All three have been teaching since all the hair was on the top of my head.
Burlington Air park is also worthy of consideration.
Brampton Flying Club to the North has a huge fleet of Cessnas.

brampton would be the closest, however most expensive as it is a club. burlignton is close by. guelph is 45min from miss, small fleet, 3 x 172 2 x 150. Oshawa is an hr, controlled airport. Peterborough is 1hr30min away. there's the island, again expensive. hamilton's good, if you like cherokees.

Well I don't know if I'd call 20 planes a huge fleet. I guess it's all relative.
There are also a " huge" number of pilots there, so you usually need to book a few days in advance at least. Still, it's a great place to fly from, although I haven't flown from anywhere else and can't really compare :/
I don't think Brampton's rates are any higher than anywhere else.

>plus at Brampton you're out in the country as opposed to Island Air at City Centre Airport (Toronto Island) with lots of traffic and a tower.
If that's supposed to mean that there's not much traffic at Brampton, try flying in the circuit there on a weekend !
As for atc practice, CYKF is only 10 minutes away, Buttonville's also close by, or the popular "CN Tower" excursion, will have you talkng to both CYYZ for flight following and City Centre tower.
