A huge crowd turned out to celebrate Shine Bright Mission on Friday (March 3) night.
Made possible through a grant from the Federal government via The Commemorate Canada – Reopening Fund, Shine Bright Mission allowed residents to gather in recognition and celebration of the frontline heroes that made the COVID-19 response possible and to support local business after the hardship of the pandemic
Shine Bright Mission was organized by the partners in the I Love Mission campaign, a community-based project launched in spring 2020 that was focused on coming together as neighbours to support local businesses during the challenges of the pandemic.
The event featured a first responders vehicle display, local performances, free activities, light activations, music, ceremonies, late-night shopping, a night market, community booths with children’s activities, lantern making, a red-carpet photo op and opportunities to support Mission-based businesses.
