AGRICULTURE RESOURCE MAP

The Sumas Prairie and other areas of Abbotsford have been greatly impacted by the recent flooding events. The City of Abbotsford has put together a list of agriculture resources - which includes industry and business contacts, funding information, remediation information and more.
