Mission is a riverfront city with mountain views and an easygoing pace that still puts commuters within reach of big-city opportunities. Just across the Fraser from Abbotsford and west of Maple Ridge, it’s known for weekend hikes to Cascade Falls, paddles on Stave Lake, and sunset strolls at Fraser River Heritage Park. A favorite local landmark, the hilltop Westminster Abbey offers panoramic vistas and a serene walking trail. The West Coast Express connects residents to downtown Vancouver on weekdays, while Highway 7 makes regional travel straightforward.
Families appreciate strong schools in Mission Public Schools, led by the School District 75 and options like Mission Secondary, Hatzic Middle, and École Mission Central. Community spirit shows up at the Mission Leisure Centre’s arenas and pools, summer concerts, and growers’ markets downtown. For thrill-seekers, Mission Raceway Park delivers drag racing and road-course action that’s a regional draw. Distinct neighborhoods such as Hatzic mix established streets with new builds, with rural acreages and riverside homes found throughout the wider Fraser Valley. With trails, schools, and amenities close by—and adventurous escapes minutes away—Mission feels practical, outdoorsy, and refreshingly authentic.
