Map
Welcome to Maple Ridge!
For more than a century, the pastoral community of Maple Ridge has sat at the shores of the rolling Fraser River, below British Columbia's towering Coast Mountains. In the past, this location and its coastal climate made the area ideal for an agricultural settlement founded on forestry. More recently though, Maple Ridge has been moving away from its rural roots and adopting a more urban attitude. The city is expanding rapidly. It joined the Greater Vancouver Regional District in 1995 and stood as the area's fastest growing community for more than a decade afterwards. This is a city of both natural splendor and modern convenience; it is a mecca of adventure, featuring miles of trails, lakes and parks; it's a progressive community with a state-of-the-art leisure complex, library, gallery and performing arts centre; and it's a year-round centre of festivals like the Jazz and Blues Festival, Maple Ridge Fair and the Santa Claus Parade. All of this and only 45 km (30 mi) east of Vancouver, 30 minutes from Mission and 40 minutes from Abbotsford.
