About the Riding
Richmond Centre is anchored by the Canada Line rapid transit, which connects the riding to downtown Vancouver and Vancouver International Airport, both within minutes. The riding includes the Richmond Centre shopping mall, one of the largest in the region, and the rapidly densifying City Centre area around the transit stations. Richmond sits largely at or below sea level on the Fraser River floodplain, making flood protection and climate adaptation significant local concerns. The riding's economy is driven by retail, the airport and aviation industry, fishing, and a growing technology sector. In 2015, housing affordability and foreign investment in real estate were emerging as major campaign issues, alongside the Trans-Pacific Partnership and its implications for the local agricultural sector, particularly the cranberry and blueberry farms in the riding's western reaches.
