Located in the heart of British Columbia’s Fraser Valley, Abbotsford is one of the province’s fastest-growing cities and a vital link between Metro Vancouver and the U.S. border. As it marks its 30th anniversary, the city stands out as a key economic engine fueled by agriculture, advanced manufacturing, and a rising innovation sector. But beyond its industries and strategic location, Abbotsford is defined by a strong sense of community and a spirit of resilience that continues to shape its future. “Abbotsford is the economic and cultural hub of the Fraser Valley,” says Mayor Ross Siemens. “We’re a city of hardworking, innovative, and charitable people. Year after year, Statistics Canada ranks us as the most generous community in Canada, and that spirit is something you see every day here.” With a population of more than 164,000 and growing, Abbotsford’s appeal is multifaceted.
