So you’ve arrived in Abbotsford,
and are yearning to explore the
area’s great outdoors on two
wheels?
Maybe hit up some trails with
friends before settling in a pub
for a meal and well-earned ale?
Abbotsford is the perfect base-
camp to explore an understated
hub of world-class mountain
biking, which has made B.C.
an internationally renowned
destination for the sport.
Abbotsford has a multitude of
biking options for all levels.
From casual, family-friendly
pedals around urban parklands,
to technically advanced,
adrenalin-inducing downhill
descents and free-ride fl ow.
If you’re looking for rewarding,
technical, single-track descents,
try Sumas Mountain area.
Shuttling is also possible for
those of you who enjoy throwing
yourself down a mountain on
some bigger suspension.
If you drive 15 minutes north
of Abbotsford, you’ll fi nd three
B.C. cup trails along with
extensive networks of XC and
downhill riding on Red and Bear
Mountains.
Extend your drive 30 minutes
and you can reach two more
popular ride destinations:
Woodlot and Vedder. They
provide access to more than 30
additional trails for intermediate
to advanced riders.
Wherever you choose to ride,
you won’t be disappointed.
In addition, the Abbotsford
BMX club hosts a permanent
outdoor track at Exhibition Park
and operates one of Canada’s
premier indoor facilities annually
from November to February at
Ag-Rec.

Rock-climbing
When it comes to getting fi t and
staying active, some are happy
to beat a path on the road, or a
treadmill.
But there are others looking for
a different kind a challenge — a
vertical one. They crave that slow
and steady climb, fi ghting gravity
every inch of the way. But before
you head out in search of your
rocky playground, it’s wise to get
a foothold on some training.
The folks at Project Climbing
Centre understand the need for
a challenge, and they’re there
to help. They offer courses
from beginner to advanced,
and provide training in their
9,000-square-foot centre. They
also have a full schedule of
drop-in times for all ages.
If rock climbing doesn’t appeal,
maybe throwing rocks will.
Curling
Curling is a true Canadian sport,
and Abbotsford has embraced
it fully. Our full-time curling
facility is home to numerous
teams of all ages, from juniors
to seniors. The dedicated staff
and volunteers at the Abbotsford
Curling Club work diligently to
foster the development of new
and existing players, and are
committed to providing playing
opportunities even while
hosting bonspiels and
championships. For more

The Abbotsford Entertainment

been home to many of the
big touring acts in the past
year, including Toby Keith,
Sarah McLachlan, Professional
Bull Riding and the Harlem
Globetrotters. In the coming
months, it’s going to host
Maroon 5, KISS, Cirque Du
Soliel, Celtic Thunder and Disney
on Ice.
When it’s not hosting a Christian
youth event like Historymakers
or a festival like Vaisakhi, the
arena is welcoming hockey fans
to enjoy some fast-paced AHL
games.
The AESC, located at 33800
King Rd., is home to The
Abbotsford Heat, the farm team
of the Calgary Flames, that
plays approximately 40 games a
season in Abbotsford.
The team just wrapped up its
second year.
Seven-thousand fans can be
seated in the arena for a hockey
game, while entertainment
performances can seat 8,500.
“This building was built for the
community and the surrounding
regions,” said AESC general
manager, Jason Blumenfeld.
“We want to bring something for
every aspect of the community.
We strive for the AESC to be a
fabric of the city of Abbotsford.”
In keeping with that mandate,
the AESC recently implemented
a walking program, inviting locals
to exercise in the stadium.
Since opening in May 2009, the
arena has also hosted Reba
McEntire, the Tragically Hip, ZZ
Top and events like monster
trucks and wrestling.

Home to the main campus
of the University of the Fraser
Valley (UFV), Abbotsford reaps
the benefi ts of having a post-
secondary institution.
UFV and Abbotsford have
grown together since 1974. The
school now serves more than
16,000 students, most of them in
Abbotsford.
UFV’s operating budget is about
$100 million a year, with a major
economic, social and cultural
impact on this community.
UFV provides a wide range of
educational options. Having
a university in the community
helps attract new business,
and offers many benefi ts. There
are often lectures, workshops,
conferences and sporting events
for the public to attend.
In addition, UFV alumni are found
in every sector of the workforce
in the Fraser Valley.
UFV and the City of Abbotsford
are working more closely
together than ever on two
exciting projects.
The city is working to create a
lively university district, adjacent
to the Abbotsford campus.
And UFV recently announced
a new spinoff location in the
Clearbrook Library. This centrally
located campus will help
connect UFV directly with the
community, municipal services,
and local businesses.

and a good option for a unique
date night.
“It’s fun to do something different
than go sit at a restaurant,” she
says. Plus, you’ll be taking home
those kitchen skills to recreate
that date over and over again.
Lepp Farm Market has joined in
the fun, too. They have classes
planned well into the summer,
with themes like cooking with
fi re, cooking with whiskey, and
traditional canning lessons.
Chefs there include Chef Dez,
Rob Feenie and Anthony Wotton.

and prices, check out each set

Among the hanging fl oral baskets,
heritage lamp posts and colourful
bench art, you’ll fi nd everything you
need in Historic Downtown
Abbotsford.
With plenty of parking, unique shops,
and cafés full of tasty European
pastries, Abbotsford’s downtown is
perfect for an afternoon stroll.
The area has shopping to satisfy
any style – from bargain hunting to
popular brand names. There are also
dance classes, singing lessons and
popular spots to get your nails done.
An amazing selection of home and
garden decor items also line the
streets, along with antiques, shoes,
jewelry and books.
If you’re feeling peckish, the area
is sprinkled with chocolate shops,
bakeries, butchers, ice cream shops,
and restaurants.
The accessibility of downtown and
its ability to tie shopping to social
interaction, complemented by a
return to old-fashioned values,
continue to attract people to
the area.
Downtown Abbotsford
also hosts a number of
special events, including
festivals, concerts
and workshops
throughout the year
– from Heritage
Week to the
Downtown Art
Walk and the
Christmas
Tree
Lighting.
