Whonnock

Whonnockians have a sense of place and community derived from comparative isolation and shared needs, often different from that of residents of urban areas. There is a certain pride in Whonnock’s past; the Whonnock post office, community organizations, and Whonnock Lake Centre add to the feeling of community. Agriculture never played a large part in Whonnock life. Today many people keep horses, and have poultry, sheep, goats and llamas. Whonnock forms the eastern end of Maple Ridge between the Lougheed Highway and the Dewdney Trunk Road. "The Front," an area of historic homes and businesses, is located in the area of 269th Street and the Lougheed Highway. Credit: Whonnock Community web site.
