Abbotsford Attractions

Abbotsford and Clearbrook, two parishes which have grown together over the years, lie in the shadow of the 3285 m (10,780 ft) high Mount Baker which forms part of the Cascade Range of mountains south of the state border. Abbotsford and Clearbrook, usually just referred to as Abbotsford these days, form the center of the Fraser Valley, where the mild climate has led to its development as an agricultural region, which, for example, produces more than 80 per cent of Canada's raspberry crop. Large chicken farms also dominate the landscape and some 80 per cent of British Columbia's eggs are produced in this region.
