Experience Richmond
More than just an island city, Richmond, British Columbia, is attracting visitors from around the globe with a truly extraordinary multicultural flavour, distinctly West Coast attitude, and convenient location right in the centre of it all. The combination of East meets West and the city’s natural bounty translates into must taste foods, must see attractions, art and culture, unforgettable shopping, and memorable experiences. Richmond is right in the centre of it all – home to Vancouver International Airport, close to the U.S.A border and between BC Ferries linking Metro Vancouver with BC’s capital, Victoria.
Worthy of its rich heritage dating back to the canned salmon days of the 19th Century, Richmond is now a Venue City for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and home to the Richmond Olympic Oval, the iconic venue for long track speed skating. It’s all here in Richmond, BC.
