Abbotsford—known as the hub of the Fraser Valley—has seen substantial change in recent years. As more people are choosing to settle and move to the area it’s seen not only immense growth, but an increasingly diverse and multicultural population.

While many residents choose to commute in and out of the city, a surprising number (over 60%, according to the local paper) of individuals work within the city limits, supporting businesses and organizations operating in Abbotsford. The city also features an international airport, connecting travellers from around the globe, and a growing University of the Fraser Valley campus, attracting many young people to the area.
