The following list is incomplete, due to the emergence of modern-era development neighbourhoods, but covers the historical localities (usually defined by a school and a store of the same name): Cade-Barr Cedar Valley Clay Road Cherry Hill Deroche Dewdney Historic Downtown- 1st Avenue business strip Historic Central Mission- 2nd Avenue to 7th Avenue Hatzic Hillside Ferndale Keystone Road Silverdale Silverhill Stave Falls Stave Gardens Ruskin (also part of Maple Ridge) Steelhead Richards Road West Heights Non-Mission District neighbourhoods Unincorporated communities and rural areas to the east of Mission are linked closely to Mission, partly because of School District No. 75 but also because Mission is the dominant service centre for the north side of the Fraser between Maple Ridge and Agassiz-Kent. These communities include: Hatzic Valley Durieu Hatzic Prairie Hatzic Island McConnell Creek Miracle Valley Dewdney Nicomen Island Deroche Lake Errock Neighbouring communities Sister cities Oyama, Shizuoka, Japan, since October 1996 Freedom of the City The following people and military units have received the Freedom of the City of Mission.
