Only 70 kilometers (43 miles) east of Vancouver and nestled on a mountain slope is the “jewel in the valley”—the city of Mission. Travel to and from Mission is easy thanks to its ideal location and close proximity to major roadways including Highway 7 and Highway 11.

The city plans to continue a rejuvenation of its historic waterfront, capturing the rich history found here while looking ahead to future growth and opportunities. Recent growth has also seen Mission diversify becoming more multicultural than ever before and the city’s economic development plan includes tactics to actively engage with business, undertake new community initiatives, and even attract the film industry to take advantage of the pristine aesthetic offered here.
