City of Pitt Meadows

Our immediate neighbour to the west is known as the "Gateway to the Fraser Valley". An energetic young community, Pitt Meadows' existing population is estimated at 17,000 residents. With over 85% of the land in the BC Agricultural Land Reserve, Pitt Meadows consists of some of the richest agricultural land in Canada, generating significant value from dairy production, cranberries, blueberries, nursery stock and greenhouse crops.

Pitt Meadows' magnificent landscape combines farms, forests, lakes and mountains. It draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, and provides a scenic backdrop for many film and television productions. Pitt Meadows also boasts some of the best golf courses in the country and is full of trails, parks and mountain vistas.

District of Mission

Our neighbour 26 km east of Maple Ridge is nestled on a southern coastal mountain slope overlooking the lush valley of the mighty Fraser River. A rapidly growing and dynamic centre with a population estimated at 34,742 residents, Mission is surrounded by the incredible beauty of mountainous vistas and natural forest settings.

Having a unique heritage, Mission is the site of Canada's first train robbery, BC's first rail link to the United States, one of the earliest hydroelectric dams and Fraser River bridges and is home to the oldest known First Nations' archaeological site in British Columbia.
