Mission

Mission has served as the site of a Catholic mission in British Columbia since the 1860s. On the north bank of the Fraser River in the Fraser Valley, the city rises from lowland neighbourhoods into wooded uplands beneath the Coast Mountains. The river shaped local development: Mission became an early rail and lumber centre, and the Mission Railway Bridge remains an active crossing over the Fraser. Above town, Westminster Abbey has been home to a Benedictine monastic community since 1939. Trails, parks and riverside areas connect the urban centre with the agricultural and forested character of the valley.
