“To find your own way is to follow your bliss.” — Joseph Campbell I’m very incredibly pleased to say that as of today the Mission Wayfinder is live at mission.ca/wayfinder. This tool is meant to bring together Mission’s Culture, Heritage and Natural sites, as well as telling some historical stories and marking heritage places that are no longer there.

Madison McKenzie’s arms ached after her first experience with para hockey – but tears of joy streamed down her face during the drive home to Mission.   “That first time – honestly, I was just so joyful,” she said.

The manager of St. Joseph's food bank in Mission was awarded the King Charles III Coronation medal last Saturday (May 24). Sandra Cascaden has been with St. Joseph's for over five years and received a nomination from Food Banks BC for the medal. Cascaden was proud of the nomination, but thought the volunteers at St. Joseph's were more deserving. "I was super shocked. I almost felt undeserving because I'm thinking it should go to the volunteers that are serving the community," Cascaden said.
