Richmond: Highway 99 at Cambie Road in - looking south
Built around the fertile delta of the Fraser River, Richmond grew into a major city in Metro Vancouver. Much of the municipality occupies Lulu Island, between the river’s North and South Arms, while Sea Island is home to Vancouver International Airport. This low-lying setting has made dikes, waterways and transport links central to Richmond’s development. At Steveston, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site preserves the industrial salmon-fishing past that shaped the community. Richmond is also home to a major Chinese Canadian community, reflected in its restaurants and commercial districts. Highway 99 is a principal north–south route through the city, linking Richmond with Vancouver and the United States border.

Richmond is known in Nova Scotia for its position in Yarmouth County near the Gulf of Maine coast. This small southwestern community belongs to a region of woodland, lakes and an indented Atlantic shoreline, far from the province’s larger urban centres. Nearby Yarmouth has long been a maritime centre; its harbour history reflects the fishing, shipping and ferry connections that have linked this part of Nova Scotia with New England. Richmond is a useful point from which to understand the quieter inland and coastal character of the province’s far southwest.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
