PORT MOODY - Dominated by Nature
"Blessed by Nature ... Enriched by
Man."
City of Port Moody - www.city.port-moody.bc.ca
Description: Port Moody prides itself
on offering a strong sense of community. The city
is an alternative place to live within a metropolitan
area. Surrounded by water, forest, and mountains,
Port Moody's geography offers an extensive park
system and opportunities for boating, hiking,
swimming, and cycling. People haunt the city's
Shoreline Park to embark on breathtaking nature
trails, watch birds, and catch sitings of killer,
false killer, and grey whales. Environmental stewardship
is an important part of Port Moody's civic culture.
Location: The City of Port Moody is located
30 kilometres east of Vancouver on Highway 7 and
around the pristine eastern head of the Burrard
Inlet. It's bordered by the Coquitlam to the east
and south and Burnaby the east. Port Moody is
surrounded by the Burrard Inlet, mountains, and
forested hillsides.
Population: 21,000
