    Heritage Park is the best park in Mission for me to walk around to get fresh air and exercise. Even…read moreon its dreariest days, it is still a great walkabout. The landscape and forestry is vast and beautiful, and the gravel trails are consistent with the layout of the park. I even like the sight of the cemetery and garden beds that I pass by while walking. This park is a hot spot for a lot of events and attractions. There is also the Sunflower Lodge, which is a great eatery. A lot of people have judged this park harshly on the fact that it was located at a residential school, where aboriginal kids have been abused. I try to see the beauty in the scenery rather than the dark history that occurred behind it. I was even at the Stolo Nation ceremony they held at Heritage Park, where people of Aboriginal descents delineate on the dark history and suffrage behind the residential schools while taking solace on the recognition of the truth and expressing their hardships through their ceremonies. Overall, I enjoy coming to Heritage Park whenever I feel like going outdoors and embrace nature.

There are several kilometers of scenic landscape trails within the park area, boasting a variety of plants and trees. It is also the site of 2 former residential schools. The is offers multiple education opportunities that include: Aboriginal settlements, customs and livelihood, the horrific history of residential schools and the long term, multi generational trauma experienced by the descendants of aboriginal settlers as a result of the residential schools. The name of the park and dedicated memorials are a work in progress to more accurately reflect the history of the site. The park is also home to many festivals and community events (events were suspended due to the pandemic). There is also a lovely restaurant-the Blackberry Kitchen on site. Be sure and call for reservations and opening closing times.

    Celebration of Light is back for 2022 after a two year hiatus!…read more We were in town and got to catch the first week of CoL and it was Japan! This event is fully stocked with lots of food trucks, live music and other fun booths. All the locals we spoke to said get there early (like 2-3pm) to get a spot on the beach or just give it up and watch from the street, which would also be crowded. They do offer some stadium seats for a price (they sell out online early), but after reading the reviews, we decided to take our chances in the free public areas. Cactus Club at English Bay usually sells tickets too, but they were closed for a private event on this day. We forgot our invite! Haha. 3:30pm: We arrived and it didn't look too bad. There were still empty spots here and there on the grass and benches. We decided to grab some food and drinks nearby. 5pm: We got spots on one of the benches (no shade)! Still a decent amount of space in between people on the benches and lawn. 7pm: Red Bull air show. Exhilarating! Aerobatic pilot Pete McLeod is such a daredevil! 8:30pm: Starting to get too close for comfort. People jamming in spots that can't really fit an adult person. 10pm: The main event! Crowded everywhere...shoulder to shoulder. 25 minutes of spectacular fireworks! What a show! We were disappointed we couldn't hear the synced music though... I have to give props out to the Canadians. For the most part, this event was well organized and everyone behaved themselves more or less. There was a good amount of police presence. It was a cool to experience this event live once. I watched it on YouTube a couple days later complete with music and all from my couch at home and it might arguably have been even better.

    FIREWORKS. I've…read moreseen the Celebration of Light twice now, and I love it. This is now a family tradition. You can pay for a ticket to reserve a seat on a bleacher or join the thousands who grab a blanket or lawn chair and park a squat or stand in the street for free for the same - or better - view. Bring a picnic and some cards and make a day of it. This is a must do Vancouver situation, held the last week of July/first week of August. Make sure to bring a radio to hear the music much better vs. through the speakers broadcast through the crowds. Be prepared to deal with the throngs of people walking afterwards and not finding a cab. You'll be pumped from the show(s) you see anyway to give you the boost to hike to your vehicle.
