Living in Abbotsford

The expatriate living in Abbotsford will experience four distinct seasons, with mild winters, rainy autumns, warm springs and dry summers. One of the best ways to experience Abbotsford’s climate is by visiting one of the well-known agri-tourism attractions. The Discovery Trail; a paved corridor surrounded by towering trees, lush meadows and scenic ponds, connects the east and west ends of the Abbotsford community. Residents and expats use the trail to run, walk, roller blade or cycle through nature, or to sit, picnic and watch the native wildlife. If sports are of interest, Abbotsford has plenty to offer, including arena football, soccer, rugby and ice hockey, which is played at the 7,000 seat Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Center. Expatriates looking to immerse themselves in local history can visit the Tretheway House Museum, which was designated a heritage site in 1983. Expats wishing to get information on living in Abbotsford or expat life in general can use the InterNations platform, where they will find forums, articles and discussion groups dedicated to arts and entertainment, sports, leisure and lifestyle and much more.
