In 2008 we accepted with great pride an increase in points earning us 5 of 5 blooms and the provincial award for “Heritage Awareness. In 2009 we received 5 of 5 blooms with higher points, and the Provincial Award for the population of 20,000 to 50,000.

CinB is a Canada-wide program to recognize and foster civic pride. After our Local Competition, June 20 - 26, National CinB judges will visit Mission to judge our collective effort.

Mission Community Foundation is honoured to display the unique Sweeney Collection each year in the Leisure Centre during the month of May. William P. and Hilde Sweeney of Forestville, California in 1990 had a Memorandum of Understanding written and bequested the donation of artifacts which were received in 2005 to be exhibited as promised. William died in1998 and Hilde in 2005. The Sweeney’s were collectors of Eskimo and Indian art (soapstone, wood, serpentine, caribou bone and antler) by various artists. From 1971 to 1985 they operated Sweeney’s Open Book store in Santa Rosa and started carrying various art objects expanding their collection. Bill was a radio personality. Hilde was an active volunteer after retiring. “We definitely felt that all the Indian and Eskimo artifacts should go “home” to where, we hope, they will be most appreciated”, Hilde said. They kept their promise, we keep our promise and now you should promise to go see with your own eyes the beautiful Sweeney Collection.
