MAPLE RIDGE - Horse Capital of Canada

District of Maple Ridge web site - district.maple-ridge.bc.ca

Description:Description: Maple Ridge consists of a series of seven distinct neighbourhoods, each one born with its own history, each one retaining its own identity. The city is dominated by hills, forests, and streams ... by agricultural and forestry activities. Maple Ridge also contains 160 kilometres of riding trails, making it the Horse Capital of Canada.

With its unspoiled lands and forested spaces, Maple Ridge is frequently the setting for Western and period films and TV productions. Yet it's also a growing place for people to live.

Location: The City of Maple Ridge is located 42 kilometres east of Vancouver Centre. It's bordered by the Fraser River to the south and the Pitt River to the west.

Population: 60,000
