There are various ways to get to Richmond BC. You could fly to Vancouver YVR or navigate the least congested highway, or even better, take the commuter train. But, the surest route is also the oldest.  If you float down the Fraser River, you will be deposited at Richmond.

Unmistakable. But this is not the presence we experience.
