Life in Maple Ridge
City of Maple Ridge
The District of Maple Ridge lies on the north shore of the Fraser River, 45 km east of the City of Vancouver. Nestled against the Coast Mountains, Maple Ridge is a community that combines small-town atmosphere with close proximity to a major trade centre. Unique to the area are the dikes — long stretches of raised earthen mounds surrounded by the rural Pitt Polder, a 217-acre low-lying mix of farmland, marshes and mudflats. Dutch dairy farmers settled in the area after World War II, reclaimed the land along the Pitt, Alouette and Fraser rivers and, using techniques perfected in the Netherlands, built the dikes as a method of flood control. Today, locals use the embankments as hiking, biking and horse-riding trails.
A range of parks, trails, walkways and paths are available for outdoor enthusiasts of all abilities to walk, play, picnic, hike, cycle or horseback ride. Follow a paved footpath from the Maple Ridge Museum to historic Haney House and on to Port Haney Wharf. The historic buildings of Port Haney, St. Andrew’s Heritage Church, the Masonic Hall, the 1911 Bank of Montreal, and a 1930 Japanese kindergarten, identified by plaques and interpretive material, help bring history alive on this walk through the past.
