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 was founded in 1868 and incorporated as a city in 2021. The municipality is mostly forested upland with only small floodplains lining the shore of the Fraser River. Benches of farmland rise in succession northwards above the core developed area of the city.

​

Our boundaries have not yet been officially defined as we are waiting

for 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 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.

 

Our neighbourhood does not include College Height. However, we welcome residents surrounding this boundary if they want to be involved. We welcome all Missionites to follow us on our Facebook Page to get updates.

​

Let us introduce ourselves:

We are a group of volunteers from all walks of life, who formed a neighbourhood association with a vision to create a sustainable organization that is actively engaged and an advocate for the community. We welcome change that growth, inevitably, brings to our beautiful city.

 

We have recently become an apolitical registered nonprofit society. Our Association aims to listen, consult, and actively engage with the neighbourhood residents by identifying needs, finding resources and sharing knowledge. We undertake activities that enhance the quality of life in the Dunsmuir Community and beyond.

We are the first registered nonprofit neighbourhood association within the Mission Core. Membership is free and hold no responsibilities unless you want to be part of the executive team. We have Constitution, Bylaws and Code of Conduct that we follow.

One of our goal is to bring together and aid in the development of other neighbourhoods within Mission. We believe that the creation of neighbourhood groups across Mission will help protect the small town feel and conserve the natural environment and habitat that is so valued by Missionites. Neighbourhood groups have the opportunity to bring the views of the residents and have an impact on the conversation with local governments and vested partners.

​

We work hard at fact-checking, negotiating and championing empathetic change in the area. This is our opportunity, as a group with a voice, to effect changes that will be more suited to the community that we all enjoy at present.

​

​

As a nonprofit association, we also want to foster our sense of community with family fun, local events and newsletters about what’s happening in our neighbourhood. You can find us on our Facebook Page, on

the Facebook Private Group, on our Instagram account and on Twitter.
