This is country living at its best: Abbotsford (pop.: 124,000+) is one of the most productive agricultural areas in Canada.

The Abbotsford Airshow held every other year and the Tradex convention centre, the second largest in the province have attracted a thriving aviation industry.

Most residential areas have splendid views of Washington State's Mt. Baker, to the southeast.
