Richmond, BC, Canada is home to the Vancouver International Airport. That makes Richmond on of the main gateways to British Columbia. Richmond is only 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver.

Richmond is surrounded by water, to the west is the Strait of Georgia and to the north and southwest is the Fraser River. Richmond is located between the north and south arms of the Fraser River. Richmond is actually composed of several islands surrounded by an extensive dike system that provides over 50 miles (80 Km) of hiking and biking trails allowing extensive viewing of the river and the wildlife that abounds in the area.

Richmond is located in the Greater Vancouver area in southwestern British Columbia immediately south of the City of Vancouver, BC. If you get the idea that Richmond is all urban, keep in mind that this area is North America’s third largest producer of cranberries.
