Happy Halloween, everyone! As you enjoy the spooky festivities, let’s keep our planet happy too! Remember: those crinkly candy wrappers? They belong at the recycle depot not in your blue bin or the garbage! And your pumpkin? It’s a perfect fit for the green Rot Pot (make sure it’s not too heavy though) Let’s have a frightfully fun, sustainable Halloween!

BLAST FROM THE PAST – First Avenue
James and Welton – 1947-1949

Oh how First Avenue has changed over the decades! Dated between 1947 and 1949, the posted photograph captures the north side of First looking east between James and Welton. In the foreground from left to right is Rex Cox Men’s Wear (presently located on the south side of First Avenue), Safeway, a Barbershop and Pool Room, a Shoe Repair Shop, the Municipal Hall (today the location of Maharaja Restaurant), the Canadian Bank of Commerce (original building now the home of Mission Museum on Second Avenue) and McCallum Hardware.

Did you know…It’s Small Business Week?!

The heart of Downtown Mission is comprised of mostly small, family and resident owned businesses…

What are some of the benefits of shopping with small business?

Dollars spent support your direct community! 🏘️

Local businesses typically buy supplies from other small business so the cycle continues to sustain economy in your direct area.

You get homegrown goods and heartfelt service. 💕

Small businesses take pride in their products. Their products are often locally grown or made, and higher quality than buying from a corporate store.

Helping local residents and families thrive. 👨‍🍳👩‍🎨

Often small businesses are run by families, employing multiple family members and local members of your community. Supporting them means these people can keep jobs they enjoy.

Small business is the heart of your community. Please consider shopping small, finding treasures unique to our area, and helping family business thrive and survive!

Small Business Week!
