About this Event

Maple Ridge is one of Metro Vancouver’s fastest-growing cities, transitioning from a primarily residential community into a more complete city served by rapid transit, with a diverse supply of housing and new commercial and industrial space to support a growing economy. With population growth of 11% in five years and projected to reach 150,000 by 2040, the City of Maple Ridge is taking bold steps to improve mobility, build infrastructure, and welcome new investment.
