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. With streamlined approvals, modernized policies, and new area plans, the City is creating greater certainty, speed, and clarity for development projects.
