Abbotsford

About Abbotsford

Abbotsford’s Historic Downtown — centred on Montrose Avenue between George Ferguson Way and South Fraser Way — has turned its 1950s and ’60s storefronts into a walkable strip of more than 225 cafés, boutiques, and restaurants. The Rail District’s Field House Brewing anchors a growing craft beer scene, while the Gur Sikh Temple, North America’s oldest still-running gurdwara, points to the deep cultural roots that run through the city. As the heart of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford’s mild climate and farmland setting also make it one of the best birding regions in the country, with over 230 species recorded annually.
