COMMUNITY OVERVIEW
Located in
the center of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford is BC's newest
city, incorporated in January of 1995, amalgamating the
former Districts of Matsqui and Abbotsford.
Housing
prices are moderate compared to the City of Vancouver and
surrounding areas, creating the ideal location for new
families or those seeking a quieter lifestyle.
The economy
is diverse. Agriculture, industry, business and government
services all play a role. The Abbotsford Airshow draws
hundreds of thousands of visitors and the Tradex Building
hosts trade shows and events throughout the year.
Abbotsford
has become a new airline destination as WestJet Airlines
offers daily passenger service to cities in Western
Canada.
