The University of the Fraser Valley has a significant presence here, drawing students and fostering intellectual life within the community.

Major annual events often celebrate the region's agricultural heritage, drawing crowds to witness the fruits of the land. Though no single individual may dominate global fame, many who have contributed to the nation's agricultural science, community building, and entrepreneurial spirit have roots in or connections to Abbotsford.
