A Message from the Mayor Welcome to the Fall / Winter edition of the Leisure Guide for 2018. After many months of planning and training, the Parks, Recreation & Culture Department is currently in the process of rolling out new software at the Leisure Centre. We greatly appreciate everyone’s patience during this period of transition and look forward to being able to serve you with even more efficiency in the weeks and months to come. Along with the software conversion, a great deal of work has also been done on developing a new Parks, Recreation, Arts and Culture Master Plan, which is available on the District of Mission website. The Master Plan is the end result of extensive public engagement and will assist Council and staff in developing new

programs and identifying key infrastructure improvements over the next ten years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in the consultation process. Your comments and opinions are invaluable. In response to this public feedback, Council have approved over $850,000 in renovations and improvements to local parks including Blott, Kinsmen West, Centennial, Fenn, Heritage Park, Lightburn, Hatzic and Griner Park. These improvements will be carried out over the months to come. Please visit our website at mission.ca for more information on program and services offered through Parks, Recreation & Culture and connect with us on social media for updates and special announcements.
