DUNSMUIR NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSOCIATION,
MISSION, BC -Registered Nonprofit Society
The Dunsmuir Neighbourhood is situated in the City of Mission, on the north bank of the Fraser River, backing onto mountains and lakes overlooking the Central Fraser Valley.
Mission, a city that has evolved since its founding in 1868, achieved a significant milestone in 2021 when it was officially recognized as a city. The area, predominantly forested, also features some farmland to the north of the bustling city center.
Our neighbourhood boundaries have yet to be officially defined. We await a LOCAL AREA PLAN (LAP) within the new OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN (OCP). At this time, our boundaries are:
- South Border: 7th Avenue (including the south side) from Stave Lake Street to Horne Street.
- East Border: Stave Lake Street (including the east side) from 7th Avenue to 11th Avenue.
-North Border: 11th Avenue (including the north side) from Stave Lake Street to Horne Street.
-West Border: Horne Street (including the west side) from 11th Avenue to 7th Avenue.
However, we welcome residents surrounding this boundary who want to be involved. We also welcome all Mission residents to follow us on our Facebook Page for updates.
We are a diverse group of volunteers who formed a neighbourhood association with a vision to create a sustainable organization that advocates for the community and welcomes growth in our city.
As a recently established non-political registered nonprofit society, our Association is committed to engaging with residents, identifying their needs, and sharing knowledge to improve the quality of life in the Dunsmuir Community and beyond. Membership is free, and there are no obligations unless you wish to join the executive team, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to our community.
Our goal is to support the development of other Mission neighbourhoods to preserve the small-town feel and natural environment valued by residents. Neighbourhood groups can voice residents' views to local governments and partners.
As a nonprofit association, we want to foster our sense of community through family fun, local events, and newsletters about what's happening in our neighbourhood. You can find us on our Facebook Page, in a Facebook Private Group, on our Instagram account, and on Twitter.
Please contact us if you want to chat, register to receive our newsletter, or become a member of our Association.
