About the Riding
Created in the 2012 redistribution, Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge was carved from the former Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge—Mission riding. The communities are connected to Vancouver by the Lougheed Highway and the West Coast Express commuter rail line. Maple Ridge's economy blends small-scale agriculture, retail, and a growing residential construction sector driven by families seeking more affordable housing than inner Vancouver. Pitt Meadows retains a rural character with cranberry farms and equestrian properties alongside newer suburban development. Federal issues in 2015 included transportation infrastructure, particularly the Lougheed Highway corridor and transit service, as well as flood management along the Fraser River and housing affordability.
