Join us in celebrating the opening of Fujikawa Garden and interpretive sign in Silverdale Park with a strawberry picnic.
A partnership with the Fujikawa Family and the City of Mission, this 10 year project was realized through donations and active support from family members, local volunteers, students, and City staff to share the story of a pioneer Silverdale family, and honour the legacy of the Japanese Canadian community in Mission.
