Between 2020–2025, the city saw steady growth, adding approximately 11,700 residents over this period at a rate of 11.6%. It is located about 100 kilometres (62 mi) east of the City of Vancouver in the Fraser Valley.

About two-thirds of city land is protected as part of the Agricultural Land Reserve, and agriculture accounts for about 30 percent of the local economy. The city is bounded on the north by the Fraser River, and on the south by the Vedder River and Canada–United States border, and is surrounded by tall mountain peaks, such as Mount Cheam and Slesse Mountain.
