Assortments of the fresh sea-foods are found daily in many of excellent Richmond
restaurants. Richmond is also known by very large variety of local and exotic fresh fruits. Richmonds greatest asset is her prime location to the transportation of goods by air, sea, rail or truck with a network of interconnecting bridges, tunnel and
airport the third largest in Canada. It is also blessed by moderate coastal climate. The warm Japanese current plays the same role in Richmond as the Gulf Stream does on the British coast. Situated south of Vancouver, west of New Westminster and north of Municipality of Delta, Richmond is made up of two main islands. Sea Island, Lulu Island, and many smaller islands are creating Richmond. Lulu Island, the main island where industry and residence are situated, is the focal point of primary and secondary industries. Its
airport, located on Sea Island, is Richmond largest employer. There are over 50 industries in Richmond. It is also a
centre for a fish processing operation at Steveston, where two large fish plants, backed by over 1.000 fishing vessels, bring in millions of dollars to Richmonds economy. Richmond is people oriented, with many community
centres and parks sprinkled generously throughout. There are many sports facilities as well indoor and outdoor
tennis, five
golf courses, jogging and
fitness tracks, boating on 15 acres of waterways, swimming, and horseback riding on dykes and trails and soccer, lacrosse, cricket, football, baseball and track. As well there are many cultural activities including the Steveston Salmon Festival, Country Fair and sardine Day. There is also well-equipped Arts
Centre, with a gallery and museum, and classrooms for arts and crafts. During the summer months there are berries to pick at many of Richmond berry farms-strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, or you can buy your own from the produce stands that are open all year-around. Richmond, too, has been called the
Garden City with its lovely homes, condominiums,
apartments and townhouses, landscaped with an abundance of beautiful flowers, for the people of Richmond are very proud of there exquisite
gardens. If you are lower of the sea, you can walk along Stevestons cannery row where many fish boats are moored, watch fishermen mending nets, or buy fresh fish off the docks on weekends or at the height of the fish runs. Richmond is a very popular tourist attraction-located just five minutes from the Vancouver International
Airport. Three large department stores and three modern shopping
centres are located within a one-mile radius, with over 250 specialty
shops to brows in. There is much to see and do in Richmond-from sports, to shopping, to dining, to visiting museums, and, of course, there are the fascinating dykes to explore-40 miles of them. They offer an unspoiled view of coastal mountains, the Gulf of Georgia and the Fraser River with its migratory birds and waterfowl, its Sturgeon
Banks and its passing parade of ships bound to and from Europe and Orient. December 15, 2005 Canadian Yacht Ship Brokers Inc. was pleased to announce the opening of there new location at the River Rock
Casino at #150-8831 River Road, Richmond, BC, V6X 1Y6.
