Connaught Heights is a community in New Westminster Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Connaught Heights is located at 49.2000°N, 122.9500°W.
Connaught Heights rests upon a gentle incline, a place where the land slopes towards the wide, slate-grey expanse of the Fraser River. It lies 13.7 km east-south-east of Vancouver, BC (from Vancouver, BC: bearing 120°T), and is situated 5.0 km south-south-east of Burnaby. The air here often carries the briny tang of the coast, mingling with the damp, earthy scent of cedars and firs that still cling to the steeper slopes. Homes are tucked into leafy enclaves, many boasting views of the river's ceaseless flow and the distant, mist-shrouded peaks of the North Shore Mountains. In the quiet mornings, before the city truly stirs, the only sounds are the distant hum of tugboats and the rustle of leaves, a soft murmur that underscores the neighbourhood's peaceful character. The history of Connaught Heights is intertwined with the early industrial ambitions of New Westminster, a city that once served as the provincial capital. This district, like much of the surrounding land district, was shaped by the logging and shipping industries that drew settlers to the fertile banks of the Fraser. Evidence of this past can still be glimpsed in the occasional weathered pilings along the shoreline and the enduring street names that echo earlier eras. Today, Connaught Heights thrives as a residential haven, its economy more closely tied to the broader services sector of the Lower Mainland, yet the echo of its working past remains, a subtle undertow beneath the surface of its present tranquility.
