2018 Citizen's Report

#YourMapleRidge Photo Contest When we poll the Citizens of Maple Ridge on the things that they like best about our community, the consistent top response is the natural setting that surrounds us. From the Fraser River that marks our south border to the Golden Ears Mountain range to the north, our City boasts a diversity of natural features and settings second to none in British Columbia. As we began the planning to produce the 2018 Citizens Report a decision was made to crowd-source the images for the front page and build up the followers on the City’s Instagram page by holding a photography contest celebrating the natural beauty of our community. The #yourmapleridge Photo Contest launched on the City website and Instagram and the reaction was incredible. We had nearly 200 entries and our creative team narrowed the selections down to the top ten for a citizen’s vote to select the winner. The top ten images, and contest winner, as selected by the citizens of Maple Ridge, are shown here and some incredible examples from all of the entries we received are featured on the front and back of the 2018 Citizens Report. Our grand prize winner won a Maple Ridge swag bag, a three month pass to the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre plus a $200 gift card at the local business of their choice. We thank our citizens for sharing their unique views of our amazing community.
