A Message from the Mayor

Well it has been an unbelievably exciting few months for our community, province and country! Olympic fever officially landed in Mission on February 8th when the Olympic Torch Relay was welcomed by thousands along First Avenue. Shortly thereafter we were privileged to witness not only outstanding athletic achievement during the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, but to also witness a tremendous display of nationalistic pride across our great nation. I look forward to watching how the past few months inspires us all to lead active, healthy lives and continue to demonstrate our love of Canada. Once again, this latest edition of the Leisure Guide is full of information and opportunities for your entire family. Some highlights for this spring and summer season include:

• BC Youth Week is May 1-7. Please check the website at www.bcyouthweek.com for events for youth in Mission;

• Emergency Preparedness Week is May 2-8. Check the Children and Adult sections of this Leisure Guide for information on the programs being offered;

• Move for Health Day is May 10th, and there will be a display at the Junction Mall on May 8th.

• Synchronized Swimming for children starts on April 10th; • BC Seniors’ Week is June 6-12.

Also, as always, Canada Day celebrations will take place at Fraser River Heritage Park on July 1st. I look forward to seeing you all at the park to enjoy the day’s festivities and to continue our celebration of being Canadian. Enjoy the spring and summer seasons, and remember to stay active to stay healthy! Mayor Atebe
