City of Mission to consider allowing shipping containers in residential areas
MISSION — The City of Mission is soliciting feedback from its constituents as it considers allowing shipping containers for the use of enclosed storage within residential zones in the community.
According to a statement from the municipality Wednesday (Feb. 19), the city says it’s eager to hear from as many residents in different neighbourhoods within the community about shipping containers.

We would like to hear from people across all neighbourhoods as we move forward with considering policy changes in this area. Your input will help us to determine where shipping containers can be situated and how they could be used in a way that minimizes adverse impacts on neighbours.”
Residents are invited to offer their input on the following:
