In 1979 the name was changed one more time to the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce. Harry Brown French created the Board of Trade, the first in British Columbia and was elected its first president. The Board immediately took out advertisements in all newspapers within a 300 mile radius, offering a package of free land, free water, free power, property tax exemptions and, most extraordinary of all, the Board also offered to construct factories, mills or other commercial buildings for potential industrialists at no cost whatsoever! Today's Chamber of Commerce is housed in an attractive cedar shake building just east of Mission on Highway 7. The Chamber continues to serve the businesses of Mission but also houses a Visitor Centre that offers tourist information to visitors and local residents alike.
