Celebrations & Commemorations
Working in partnership with community groups and public institutions, the Mission Community Archives regularly participates in local events that support and facilitate citizen engagement and build a strong sense of identity. These include: Annual Women of Mission Gala, Canada Day, MissionFest, anniversaries of memorable moments or milestones in Mission and Remembrance Day.
PATHS & PATHFINDERS – 2022 Annual Women of Mission Gala
A key part of the Paths & Pathfinder Program is the Annual Women of Mission Gala (formerly known as the Annual Celebration of Women) which is held in October during Women’s History Month in Canada to acknowledge both the exceptional and every day real life contributions of women. Click here to find out who they are.
After a 2 year pandemic hiatus, the gala is back! It is being held on Saturday, October 1st at All Saints Anglican Church Hall starting at 1:00PM. Tickets are $20.
This year we are hosting a joint celebration for our newest honouree, community volunteer extraordinaire and documentary photographer Margaret Peake, who will be joined by our 2021 honourees: community environmental activist, Barbara Strachan, and tireless advocate of Indigenous Peoples culture, publisher, and award-winning competitive paddler, Ann Mohs.
A very special thanks to our corporate partners for supporting our event!
