WHAT’S ON!

Getting Ready for Spring

Beautify your outdoor living space with a few

mini-projects, or go all out and redesign your yard with a

set of patio furniture! For your backyard makeover, come

visit our NEW Garden Centre (with outdoor cashier) and

see our expanded selection in plants, accessories, BBQs,

patios and gazebos.

MINI-PROJECT #1

We carry a variety of different plants, all various colours,

shapes, sizes, and species, a selection of these are sure to

spruce up your yard in no time. Some tips on using colour

to your advantage:

• Strong contrasts create a dramatic effect

• A soft er display can be created with a monochromatic

theme

• A dominant colour with accents in its complementary

colour produce a beauti ful balance

• Adding a touch of grey can tone down a contrast that is

too strong

MINI-PROJECT #2

Brighten up your backyard with some lighting! From

the eco-friendly solar lighting to trendy pendant lights,

you’ll create a feature the whole neighbourhood

will want to copy. Whether you’re going for a

modern feel or a rustic vibe, we have all the lighting to

accommodate your tastes.

RE-MODEL!

A fresh set of patio furniture is sure to revamp your

backyard lounge. A vibrant sectional and pillows,

matching table and chairs, or just a big umbrella to hide

from the sun, we have many different sets to view instore.

Spring is a time for

renewal and change.

One year ago, the world came to a halt

due to COVID-19. Little did we know that

we would still be in this pandemic in 2021.

Throughout the past year, we have seen

everyone maneuver and adapt almost every

aspect of their lives. But one thing remains

constant, Mission’s passionate sense of

community.

The Mission Community Archives & Mission

Museum wishes to preserve your first-hand

experiences and document the far-reaching

impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. To save

memories for future generations, they are

seeking relevant objects, text, audio, video

and image files which tell the stories of the

Mission community during this time of crisis.

To find out more or submit archival content,

please visit www.missionarchives.com.

We started off 2021 with hope and

celebration as the Mission Regional

Chamber of Commerce hosted their 20th

Annual Business Excellence Awards, virtually.

Congratulations to all the local business

champions that were nominated. We

acknowledge your resilience and celebrate

your accomplishments.

Change is on its way this Spring with the

Municipal By-Election scheduled for April

24, 2021. Keep an eye on www.mission.ca

for information on where and how to vote.

Tune into the All-Candidates Forum on April

8 to hear from the mayoral candidates about

the issues that are important to you and our

community (www.missionchamber.bc.ca).

Many families are staying close to home

this Spring Break. Tag @whatsonmission on

social media to share your staycation photos

and they could be featured in the next issue

of What’s On! Mission magazine – if your

photo has a What’s On! Mission magazine

in it, even better! Continue to support our

local businesses and restaurants and check

out the community events and programs in

this issue. Rediscover the many reasons why

I love Mission.

Your front walkway is one of the first sections of

real estate a buyer will set foot on when coming

to see your home. So, it makes sense to make

that pathway to your front door as appealing as

possible.

The obvious way is to make it as clean and clear as

you can. Ensure there are no obstacles in the way,

such as overhanging branches, kid’s toys or potted

plants. What you want is a clear, unobstructed and

pleasant walk to

your main entranceway.

If your walkway needs deeper cleaning, consider a

power wash. A deep cleaning isn’t a major project.

In most cases, the job can be done within an hour.

Yet, the result can be stunning.

If you’re selling in the spring or summer, another

way to make your walkway look better is to add

flowers or other plants along the sides. Don’t

overdo it. You only need a few flowers or a couple

of shrubs to make a big difference.

The great thing about adding a few flowers or

shrubs is the impact they can have on your entire

frontage making it more attractive, and adding to

your home’s overall curb appeal.

Making your walkway look better may seem minor,

but keep in mind that when buyers make their way

to your front door they’re forming their first and

often most important impression of your property.

The walkway plays a small but important role in

making it a good one. Want more ideas for making

your home show better, so it sells quicker and for a

higher price?

Meet Regina Janus, dance

teacher at Arch-Way

Regina Janus is an accomplished

dancer who spent a number

of years dancing, teaching and

choreographing internationally. Born

and raised in Mission, she lived and

worked oversees for 10 years before

she returned home to Mission. She

spent the past 3 years building her

dance school with Tiny Toes Creative

Movement classes alongside Little

Stars for ages 5 -8 and 9-12. Now

you can find her at her own studio,

Arch-way Dance, at the St. Mary’s

Centre on 34110 Lougheed Hwy,

offering classes for kids and adults of

all ages and levels.

Arch-way was born from the idea

that arches represent strength. She

explains that “movement always has

an arch of some kind whether it be

within your body, your transporting

movement or in a stagnant position”.

She also loves the idea that moving

through an arch or a tunnel is an

exciting pathway that can lead to a

new vision and a new beginning.

There have been a lot of challenges

along the way, COVID restrictions

included and she continues to

move through them to adapt to the

changing rules and regulations to

share the love of dance of all of her

students.

She believes Mission is a special place

with so much potential and hope and

she has huge aspirations of spreading

the magic of dance, building strength

through movement not only in her

dancers but in her community.

Ami’s

Review

Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis (J.D.

Vance, 2016) is definitely outside of my regular reading genre,

but one of my goals this year is to expand my reading repertoire

(and I won’t lie, the fact that Hillbilly Elegy is now a Netflix movie

also piqued my interest). I thought

this memoir would read the way the

trailer for the movie plays out... lots

of drama, Amy Adams screaming

and crying, big fights and hopefully a

resolution at the end (I haven’t seen it

in full yet, so don’t tell me).

Hillbilly Elegy is a careful recounting of

the author’s growing up years in the

town of Jackson, Kentucky – a town

known for its violence, poverty, and

addiction. It’s a place where a man

can father eight children, but never

figure out a means to provide for them

– a place where a boy fights against

his abusive upbringing without ever

realizing it’s abusive, because it’s the

norm to be amongst gun-toting adults

who are as likely to blow your head

off as they are to offer a neighbour’s

hungry toddler a midnight snack

because no one remembered to feed

him dinner.

As a teen, Vance wondered why

his family, friends, and neighbours

couldn’t rise above their often

desperate circumstances despite

the plentiful government opportunities, jobs, or financial help

available to them. The author recounts a pattern of almost

prideful victimization that he witnessed over and over and

how, no matter where people immigrated to in search of the

American Dream, the cultural poverty of being a Hillbilly seemed

unavoidably retained.

In his book, Vance dares to ask, WHY? His own getting to

the answer will stir up conflict no matter where you fall in your

socio-political beliefs.

Yet with a compassion you wouldn’t

expect from someone raised in such

an unashamedly broken family, Vance

examines his upbringing with clearsightedness,

and reveals how he was

one of the lucky ones able to succeed

despite (or perhaps because of) his

Hillbilly upbringing... one that held

him back as much as it propelled

him forward. In fact, after high school

Vance went on to the Marine Corps

and later graduated from Yale Law

School.

Even though poverty, abuse, and drugaddiction

were so prevalent among

the Appalachian population, Vance

remembers with fondness many

aspects of strength that growing up in

this setting brought him too. How living

with his Mamaw (grandmother) taught

him resilience as much as it taught

him how to curse. How watching his

mother careen between men and

drugs like a ping pong ball taught him

to be distrustful as much as it taught

him understanding and empathy for

broken-hearted people.

Hillbilly Elegy is a fantastic choice for a book club, or anyone

wanting to explore why the poor often stay poor. And AFTER

you read the book, go ahead and watch the movie, although I

doubt it will be nearly as thought provoking.

Mission Downtown Biz

By Joanna McBride

Can Dance Studio

Debbie Calicetto started her dancing

career at the young age of 3. It wasn’t

always an easy road, and she faced

many challenges as she was born with a

club foot. It was believed that ballet

would stretch her bones and muscles

out. It worked so well that Debbie

developed a passion for dancing and the

more she learned, the more confident

she became.

As she grew and her dancing improved, Debbie moved into

advanced classes of jazz, tap and lyrical, and had the astounding

opportunity to begin teaching dance at the age of 13.

Winning choreography competitions with scores of 100%,

Debbie was teaching full programs at the Abby Dance Factory

by the time she was 16 years old. Branching out to other

studios gave her the experience, the proper training and the

confidence necessary to open her own studio.

In 1989, a 19 year old Debbie was able to secure an investor and

her dream of having her own dance studio came alive. Thirtytwo

years later, some of her students have gone on to

Broadway, performed in Europe, danced on cruise lines and

some have become dance instructors themselves.

Can Dance is more than just a dance studio. Debbie's philosophy

is that the kids come first; community, second; dance, third.

“There have been kids that have come to me from all walks of

life,” Debbie explains. “Kids that are lost and feel they have no

real purpose in life.” Debbie has brought in specialists, art

therapists, youth care workers, psychologists, anyone that

could help these kids become amazing adults and never give up

on their dreams.

COVID-19 has had a huge impact on Can Dance. In March 2020,

in tears and confusion, Can Dance closed its doors to students.

“For the first time since we opened, there were no children

around." Throughout the pandemic, they have gone through

many adjustments: opening and closing per PHO restrictions,

reduced capacity and online classes. Can Dance misses their

kids. “There will always be kids and there will always be

dance,” says Debbie. “And I will be here with open arms when

this is all over.”

Karla’s Specialteas! Not only has Karla made a

name for herself in the tea industry, but also in

many household tea pantries across BC, Canada

and beyond. Karla is celebrating this huge

achievement and looking forward to new exciting

mission

community

skillscentre

www.missioncsc.org

As a community minded business owner, Karla has

forged many valuable connections over the last

10 years, and has the most amazing dedicated and

loyal customer base. This has helped her reach

many business milestones, carried her through the

adversity of the downtown fire that left her new

shop with extensive damage and product loss, as

well navigating the Covid 19 pandemic as a small

business owner. Karla is undeniably grateful for the

love and assistance of other local businesses and

customers that have rallied around and supported

her during these challenging times.

Karla and her partner Mike moved to Mission from

East Vancouver in 2003. She fell in love with

the endless mountains, lakes and the beautiful

outdoors, but it was the small community vibe that

made her decision an easy one. After starting a

family, she found it was the perfect time to focus

on something she was truly passionate about.

Karla is not only a Certified Tea Sommelier but a

Registered Aromatherapist with an emphasis in

Herbalism. Passionate about helping people, and

Karla’s charming tea shop is filled with an array

of delicious loose leaf teas, medicinal tea blends,

accessories and more! You can also purchase

refills for your tin and bulk bags at great savings.

Her teas can be enjoyed at some of your favourite

local cafes like The Penny and The Blackberry

Kitchen, or purchase to take home or gift at

Pressland General, Meridian Market, Fruits &

Greens, Lepp Farm Market, Apostrophie and Evoke

Wellness.

I would like to serve

as your Mayor.

I was born here, went to school here and

have built several businesses in Mission.

I graduated from Hatzic Secondary School in 1994 and despite being a young

person raised in a life of privilege, I found myself wandering the streets of

Mission searching for employment opportunities and housing options that

simply weren’t widely available. In 1994, there weren’t a lot of opportunities

available to me and my friends in Mission. Some of my friends and classmates

from that time continue to live in crisis, on the streets, searching for purpose

and a chance to change the trajectory of their lives in their hometown.

Many of my peers today are concerned about the future for their own kids in

Mission. They worry about the lack of opportunities and options for young

people in Mission today, just as we were challenged to find a bright future here

in 1994.

I care about the people in this community whom I believe are

passionate and capable, and ready to hit any obstacles and

straight on. I have had many conversations with residents of

Mission and I am convinced that our community is prepared

for the next phase of growth and development in the area.

And we can do it carefully and responsibly, expanding

while keeping the character and sensibilities of Mission

and at the same time welcoming new people, new

places and new beginnings!

I believe that we can disagree and challenge each

other to be better and in the end, we can address all

our differences and make our community stronger.

The next Mayor must be able to work with council

and staff to empower, facilitate and serve every

member of Mission. I have proven to have all these

skills.

If you believe that steady, attentive leadership

is vital for this vision of a vibrant and strong

community, then I ask that you also be a voter

for me in the upcoming by-election.

Stay Safe. Stay Calm. Be Kind.

Cory.

WHAT IS FVYS?

The Fraser Valley Youth Society (FVYS) is a not for profit

society located in the Fraser Valley since 2000. We have

been providing opportunities for personal growth and

leadership through our workshops, programs and

community connections since 2000. We have gone from a

group of volunteers running a weekly LGBTQ2+ drop-in

group in Abbotsford to a Board of Directors, staff and

dedicated volunteers running weekly drop-in groups in

Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack.

WHAT PROGRAMS DO YOU OFFER?

Currently, we are offering a zoom drop-in meeting on

Wednesday evenings beginning at 6PM. We are hoping to

resume in-person meetings as soon as COVID-19 restrictions

are lifted. We also offer Education and Awareness

programming for organizations looking for inclusivity

training. Our main workshop that we offer is Terminologies,

Risk Factors and Best Practices in Supporting LGBTQ2S+

Youth

BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT

Individual/Family One on One

Our trained Bereavement Coordinator provides short

term individual and family support to anyone who needs

the support. Services are designed to meet the individual’s

specific needs and we help people of all ages. We also make

referrals to specialized professionals, if further support is

needed.

GRIEF SUPPORT GROUPS

Memorial Services

We host a memorial services once a year to remember

your loved ones. Please contact Nathalie Millar for more

information and dates.

Pathways, Adults Support Group

It’s not easy to understand or accept the death of someone

we love. A grief support group is a group of people who

come together to help each other through their grief journey.

Some of the benefits of attending can include connecting with

others who have gone through similar situations, associating

with people who will listen without judgement, new ideas

to help you cope and heal, time to share memories of the

person who passed, and understanding what responses are

natural and normal during grieving

Women's Support Group

The Mission Hospice Society hosts an ongoing weekly

widow’s support group called Tea and Company, which is

a weekly support group for women who have lost a spouse.

This program runs Thursday at 10am in the resource room

of the Mission Hospice Society.

Circle of Friends, Children’s Grief Support Group

This group is aimed at helping children deal with their grief

and how to channel their grief in a positive way through

crafts and sharing they learn to accept their loss and how to

move on. The winter session begins January 24 and runs on

Thursday from 3:30pm to 5:15pm in the Mission Hospice

Society resource room

Camp Zajac

In July of every year we send Bereaved children to enjoy a

few days of camp at Camp Zajac. Horseback riding, archery,

kayaking are some of the great activities these children get

to enjoy. All children, including those who have successfully

gone through our Circle of Friends program are invited to

attend the camp free of charge.

Walking Group

Our walking group provides an opportunity to walk and

talk, while meeting new people who share a common

experience that can provide mutual support and acceptance.

This program combines informal support with fresh air and

exercise.

Compassionate Friends

This is a support group for bereaved parents offered by The

Compassionate Friends Organization. They meet at

the hospice office every second Monday of the Month.

Richard Lepinsky is the trained facilitator for this Chapter.

The mission of The Compassionate Friends: When a

child dies, at any age, the family suffers intense pain and

may feel hopeless and isolated. The Compassionate Friends

provides highly personal comfort, hope, and support to

every family experiencing the death of a son or a daughter,

a brother or a sister, or a grandchild, and helps others

better assist the grieving family.

After Life Conversations

This group has been meeting for over two years at the

Mission Public Library on the first Monday of every

month. This is an open group where people come

together and talk about Near Death Experiences and

the possibility of communications with their loved one

after their passing. This is a very open minded group

and does not follow any particular religion or spirituality

but welcomes all beliefs. It is a safe place where people

whom have lost a loved one can share their experiences

without judgements or advice.

Youth Children Support Groups - In School

This group is for children between the ages of 12-14 who

attend Middle School and have experienced some kind of

loss, such as a person, pet, change in community or school,

separation or divorce, or health. This support group is once

a week for 8 weeks from 2-3pm. After the formal 8-week

sessions, this group will convert to drop-in, and we will be

available to further the discussion and offer support as the

children require. We will have a therapy dog attend on

one or more sessions and have activities, arts, and

discussions relevant to this age group. This group will also

enjoy a field trip and invitations to our other day camps.

*due to COVID 19 some interruption to programs and services

have occurred, therefore we have adjusted our programs to be

COVID safe, please contact the office for details.*

me to fit in time for family

and work, while keeping me

engaged in my community.

15 FACTOIDS

1

Prior to the 20th century,

squirrels were one of America’s

most popular pets.

2 “Stewardesses” is the longest

word that is typed with only

the left hand.

3 Spiders can’t fly… phew!!!

4 Pumpkin seeds contain more

protein than peanuts.

5 Before the 1800s, people had a

“first” and “second sleep”. They

would sleep 3-4 hours, wake

up for 2-3 hours to do some

type of activity, then go back to

sleep until morning.

6 Elton John won a piano

scholarship when he was 11 to

the Royal Academy of Music.

8 The giant squid has the largest

eyes in the world.

9 The curly part of a corkscrew is

called the ‘worm’.

10 The people who performed the

voices of Mickey Mouse and

Minnie Mouse got married in

real life.

11 Squirrels plant thousands of

new trees each year simply by

forgetting where they put their

acorns.

12 The total land area of Turkey is

slightly larger than the state of

Texas.

13 Baby puffins are called

pufflings.

14 As an April Fools joke a BBC

News program, broadcast

in 1957, ended the program

claiming that spaghetti grew on

trees on a farm in Switzerland.

Many viewers believed the

report and called the BBC

asking how to grow their own

trees.

15 Earth is located in one of the

spiral arms of the Milky Way

(called the Orion Arm) which

is about two-thirds of the way

out from the centre.

Euphemia Allen composed the

tune “Chopsticks” in 1877, at

the age of 16.
