The Downtown core of Mission is easy to find as Scenic Highway 7 is the main street. Take a stroll along the sidewalk, window shop, browse for antiques and art or enjoy the food in one of the coffee houses, restaurants or delis. Japanese, Italian, Greek and Chinese cuisine are available.

Be certain to check out the Town Stationer for its gifts and Murdoch's Book Shoppe for its wide selection of new and collectible books. Explore the Museum and Library just one block away on 2nd Avenue or the Farmers Market on Saturdays, June to October. Claim to Frame and the Mission Arts Centre feature the works of local artists.
