About
Mission’s iconic Canadian Pacific Railway station was completely destroyed by fire on January 25th, 1999. A prefabricated building constructed in 1909, the station was the centre of commerce and community life spanning more than 8 decades. Using materials housed in the Mission Community Archives, this video production highlights the building’s storied past and the efforts for its preservation, before and after the fire.
Organizer
Mission Community Archives
The Archives serves local residents and the global community by acquiring, preserving, maintaining, documenting and making available for public research records of archival value to the City of Mission and the Fraser Valley Regional District Electoral Areas. Archivist Val Billesberger believes that key to carrying out to archives' mandate is to engage the public by showcasing Mission’s storied past through its online presence, public programs and community partnerships.
