Richmond

White Rock is a pretty seaside resort town located less than an hour from downtown Vancouver and close to the Peace Arch border crossing to the US.

With a population last estimated at 222,945 people, Richmond is an ethnically diverse growing and dynamic urban centre with a unique mix of residential, and commercial property, agricultural lands, industrial parks, waterways and natural areas. Richmond lies where the Fraser River meets the Pacific Ocean.

The shores surrounding Richmond create an estuary border that provides habitat for fish and for migrating birds on the Pacific Flyway between the Arctic and South America.Richmond has undergone enormous change over the last several decades, with significant growth in the early 1990’s. Today, Richmond is a dynamic, multi-ethnic community. Much of the recent population growth has been made up of Asian immigrants. People of Chinese or South Asian ancestry represent more than sixty per cent of Richmond residents. Newcomers have contributed significantly to the growth of the small business and retail sectors and have added to the diversity and vibrancy of the City of Richmond.
