Parks & Nature
The choice for a regional airport was between the site of this urban forest and Abbotsford. Abbotsford got the airport as it is less foggy. We got this protected urban forest! Lovely to walk around in all seasons. Can be accessed via car, or up the Semiahmoo Trail behind our estate (about a 20 minute walk to the start).
