WE HAVE GOT IT ALL
Maple groves along country roads
Ridges donned with majestic trees
Farmers Markets, CountryFest,
Concerts and many movies sets…
Sports fields, parks and waterways
Cycling, walking and lots of golf
Berries, dairies, bakeries and hops
Many wonderful unique shops…
We can walk and talk, meet and eat
Right here close to home
We can touch horses, hear them neigh
And see big fields of crops and hay…
We can boat and fish and hike and skate
We can swim, camp and cycle
We have our Arts Club and Planet Ice
And at our Casino we roll the dice…
Our community pride keeps us strong
With pioneer stories, poems and songs
Our museums and library protect the tales
Informing and enriching us without fail…
We have outdoor concerts and Repair Cafés
Santa Parades and multicultural pride
Bold but careful development plans
Balancing with Nature across our land…
In fact Nature is around us everywhere
The air is fresh and clean
We are very proud of what we do
To keep our home-base refreshed and new…
Our Maple Ridge has grown up a lot
We have experienced growing pains
From just industry to so much more
We have bloomed from roots to core…
Yes indeed we do have it all right here
From the north to south, east and west
Our vision evolves from the old to new
Maintaining our charm and treasures too.
