The City of Mission has a rich and diverse history and heritage conservation is an important part of sharing this history and enhancing community identity.
Heritage not only includes built heritage sites such as monuments and historic buildings, but also cultural traditions, practices and values. These intangible cultural heritage assets are represented in a multitude of ways from traditional storytelling, place making, and performing arts, to social practices and events.
