Where Highway 1 meets the Sumas crossing

Abbotsford sits in the centre of the Fraser Valley on the Trans-Canada Highway, the Abbotsford-Mission Highway (Highway 11) and the Fraser Highway. Highway 11 meets Highway 1 at Sumas Way, the point where the Trans-Canada comes closest to the US border, and runs south to the Sumas-Huntingdon crossing, which is open 24 hours a day on both sides. Abbotsford International Airport covers 519 hectares southwest of the city centre, with a 2,925-metre main runway, cargo flights to Vancouver and about 87 hectares available for development, and the City lists transportation and warehousing among its key industries.

Agriculture puts a lot of value out in the open here. About 72 per cent of Abbotsford's land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, and the City says 55 per cent of B.C.'s table eggs and 45 per cent of its chicken come from Abbotsford, along with more than 2,900 hectares of blueberries. Property crime is part of the picture too: Statistics Canada data show the Abbotsford Police Department recorded 124 thefts over $5,000 in 2025, up from 101 in 2023, and just before 4 a.m. on August 27, 2026, thieves broke into a business on Forge Place and took furniture, merchandise and tools worth about $20,000. The Surrey Police investigation into 14 stolen semi-trailers also reached into Abbotsford.

For a farm, packing operation or truck yard, Sigma's agents watch every camera live, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AI person and vehicle detection catches movement across barns, yards and lots after dark; the agent confirms it on video, talks the person down through the site's speakers and brings in police, fire services or your own contacts, with clips and a written report. Sigma doesn't put guards on site, and every quote costs less than a round-the-clock guard.
