Mission’s women of distinction  Paths and Pathfinders: Women of Mission was established in 1996 by the Mission Community Archives to document the lives and contributions of women in Mission, Hatzic Prairie, Hatzic Island, Dewdney, Deroche, Nicomen Island, Lake Errock and McConnell Creek. To date, the program has celebrated the  lives and contributions of 116 women from varied backgrounds, education, interests, beliefs and ethnic heritage.  Photographs and interviews can be accessed at the Archives at 33215 2ndAvenue, Mission, phone 604.820-2621

A key part of this program is the Annual Women of Mission Gala, a celebration which is usually held in October during Women’s History Month in Canada to acknowledge and celebrate the exceptional and every day real life contributions of women.

Check the Mission Archives  to find names, photographs, and biographies of these extra-ordinary women.
