Lifetime Learning Is Quilting a Virtual Legacy

Our New Horizons for Seniors initiative project and BC 150 Mosaic grant project weaves & quilts the Oral Histories of Mission together using the World Wide Web- while also bringing together the threads of community through project partnerships.

What Is a Virtual Quilt?

The virtual quilt is a multimedia format using the internet and our website to access Mission history. By clicking on a photograph within the quilt you are accessing our collection of Mission histories.

Interviews are audio recorded and excerpts are integrated along with photographs and transcripts onto this website. Experience living history through the voices of the people interviewed recollecting the social & economic development of our community throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

To date we have collected more than 125 Oral Histories showcasing our diversity, distinctiveness, and determination as a community.
