Village of Anmore

The Village of Anmore is a semi-rural community in Metro Vancouver that encourages engagement and participation in all our community interactions. Anmore is becoming more known because of our proximity to a multitude of outdoors activities and beautiful surroundings. The focus of the Village is to create a welcoming environment for all residents and visitors. We focus on engaging our community through small events that bring neighbours together.
