Our members work in many different areas of the municipality including City Hall, Public Works, Forestry, Parks, Recreation & Culture, Mission Fire/Rescue Service and the Mission RCMP Detachment.

To help finance our rapidly growing municipality, our members assist in the collection of taxes. While taxes are never popular, the monies collected help pay for our members to provide efficient and effective services to the residents of Mission.

CUPE members in the development services and engineering departments help to facilitate the significant development in the community. The bylaw enforcement officers administer and enforce the various regulatory bylaws of the municipality.

Our public works employees maintain the integrity of vital services such as water, sanitary sewer and storm drainage, as well as roads maintenance and snow removal.

In addition, our members take care of Mission’s numerous parks, maintain municipally-owned buildings and grounds, and are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Hatzic Cemetery.

Local 1267 members employed at the Mission Fire/Rescue service strive to provide quality customer service to the residents of Mission including fire safety lectures, fire station tours, fire inspections, fire prevention training and issuing burning permits.
