About Port Moody, BC

Port Moody was named the western terminus for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1879, selected for its location on the Burrard Inlet, where goods could be offloaded from rail cars onto ocean cargo ships. Originally a transportation and industrial hub with two petrochemical distribution operations, a thermal electric generating station, and large wood products manufacturing, today it has pivoted to being an ecological and arts-friendly community. The City of Port Moody adopted the name “City of the Arts” in 2004. Artists for decades chose Port Moody over Vancouver for its lower rents, beautiful scenery and ambient lighting. Port Moody now offers visitors and residents a variety of festivals celebrating arts and culture.
