Abbotsford, BC

As a Realtor I am always printing something and that means I’m always shopping for replacement ink and toner cartridges. My favorite place to buy replacements is Apex Refill & Stamp at #105-2760 Gladwin, Abbotsford.

Aside from great prices you’ll receive great service from David and Joyce who always great their customers with a smile and an eagerness to satisfy.

The next time you are looking for ink or toner supplies give them a try.

Hi! I'd just like to post a small congratulations to the Abbotsford Pirates, who were first place winners PeeWee 2009! Nice work boys!!

I can't believe it - these boys hardly practiced - usually 45 minutes right before every game, and they played SO well together!!!

Located at 34261 Marshall Road in Abbotsford Tamaringo's is a cozy and fresh coffee shop located inside Cannor's Garden Center.

I thought "these guys are crazy opening a coffee shop in a garden center". I was wrong on this one as its now one of my favorite spots. Comfortable wicker furniture and spacious tables among thousands of growing plants provides what is probably the most relaxing bistro in town.

Good coffees, teas, pastries, and lunch items ... and my favorite ice creams.

A new shopping mall is planned @ the site near Abbotsford's Mount Lehman interchange across from the Fraser Valley Automall. The project, which has been given approval in principle by Abbotsford city council, will have access off Trans Canada Highway (# 1) and is expected to draw shoppers from Hope to Langley. It is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2011. Shape Properties developments is behind this 600,000-square-foot shopping mall. It is estimated to cost $170 million. Some new papers suggest that a Wal-Mart Supercentre could be the anchor tenant in the new development.
