Description

In 1958, the District of Mission was granted Tree Farm License 26 (TFL26) and operates one of only two working municipal forests in the province. For over 55 years, this responsibly forested area has been a significant source of revenue for the municipality. While the area has attracted some informal recreational activities over the years, in 2011, the Province of British Columbia granted a portion of TFL26 with Interpretive Forest status. This status enables Mission to develop the area for organized outdoor recreation and tourism opportunities while still operating a working forest.

To provide service to the community by protecting life, property and environment through prevention, public education and emergency response with well maintained equipment and highly trained, dedicated personnel.

First Nations people, and today this rapidly growing and dynamic centre is home to a population of some 38,000 residents.
