the facility to support the demands of a growing population. Another key milestone was the adoption of the McKee Neighbourhood Plan, which sets the framework for the last major residential area within Abbotsford’s current urban boundary.Yet, the most defining event in recent history wasn’t a project—it was a crisis. In November 2021, historic flooding devastated the region when waters from Washington State’s Nooksack River breached dikes, inundating the Sumas Prairie. More than 3,300 people were evacuated, major transportation routes—including Highway 1 and the US/Canada border—were cut off, and the agricultural sector suffered massive losses. The new addition of the Abbotsford Police Department Headquarters was completed in April 2025. The expansion addresses the growing needs of the department, bringing all operational units together, enhancing collaboration and public safety efforts with modernized facilities.
