Welcome to the Maple Ridge BC Homepage

As you can see above we live in beautiful surroundings. To the North we have the mountains with Golden Ears pictured here.
To the east we have the Fraser Valley.
It is roughly 30 minutes to Mission and 40 minutes to Abbotsford
And to the west we have the city of Vancouver.
It's a 20 minute drive to Coquitlam Centre and/or the Freeway into Vancouver.



Maple Ridge District, Incorporated in 1874, is a fast growing community with many unique features. Besides our wonderful geographical situation we are also part of the Greater Vancouver Regional District. This enables us to retain our small town feel nestled within the surrounding farmland yet being a suburb of Vancouver we have access to all the features of the big city. And even still, we have LOTS more to offer.



How to get here:

We have many community events going on and some great recreational spots to explore!
