I would like to welcome you to Mission.  Mission is located 70 kilometres east of Vancouver in the heart of the Fraser Valley.  Situated on a hillside overlooking the Fraser River, Mission enjoys a natural setting combined with all the amenities of a rapidly growing community. 

Lifestyle in Mission is second to none.  Residents enjoy both the natural amenities along with public facilities within the community.  With outdoor recreation opportunities abound, Mission is known for world-class salmon and sturgeon fishing,  mountain biking, hiking, its abundance of parkland and our 26,000 acre Municipal Tree Farm.  Other attractions and amenities include the Mission Leisure Centre & Sports Park, Westminster Abbey, Xa:ytem Longhouse Interpretive Centre, the Power House at Stave Falls, and Mission Raceway Park.

For the arts and culture community, Mission residents enjoy the events hosted in the 700-seat Clarke Foundation Theatre, the Fraser River Heritage Park and the Mission Arts Centre.  Mission is home to several unique festivals such as the Mission Folk Music Festival, Old Car Sunday, Soap Box Derby, Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival and the Candlelight Parade.

Enjoy your visit to Mission.

Sincerely,

James Atebe
Mayor
