A message from 1st Fridays on Mission 1st Ave & Downtown Core co-organizer/sponsor business Simone Redburn Lockhart & Associates; Lighthouse Realty Ltd:

Dear 1st Fridays friends:

Please join us at Gallery 202 on 1st Ave, Mission on Friday 1 March from 6.30pm-8.30pm for Gallery 202's last ever (sob!) First Friday event.

(NB: First Fridays will thereafter be speadheaded by the DBA, so stay tuned for their future events).

This Friday at Gallery 202:
Live music from Celtic fiddle legend Jennie Bice & her ensemble; new art gallery exhibition showcasing the works of local photographers Bob Friesen Photography & Rich Vigurs; and, as always: refreshments & fun!

We've been overwhelmed with the response to our monthly First Fridays & free community events over the last 3 years, but it's time for us to bid adieu to our passion project Gallery 202 at a time when our core business of real estate is set to see us level up from the top 10% of Fraser Valley realtors for number of transactions into the top 5% (in the top 200 of 4,500 Valley realtors) - and higher still!

We'll keep you posted on our future community projects and endeavours, but in the meantime, we hope to see you downtown on Friday!
