Originally inhabited by the Stó:lō First Nations people, Mission, BC, Canada, founded in 1892, is nestled on a southern coastal mountain slope overlooking the lush valley of the mighty Fraser River. A rapidly growing and dynamic centre with a population of 35,262 residents, Mission is surrounded by the incredible beauty of mountainous vistas and natural forest settings. Our climate is warm in the summer and mild and wet in the winter. Flowers bloom most of the year, as the area is naturally hospitable to a wide variety or plant life and vegetation. Topographically, Mission enjoys an immense variation of hillsides and gullies which maintain natural neighbourhood enclosures, spectacular views, and a sense of timelessness and security.
