British Columbia is home to not only the largest population of Sikhs in the country, but also some of the longest established Sikh communities. Although Sikhs can be found in most towns and cities within the province - most are concentrated in the Lower Mainland. In the city of Vancouver, Sikhs form over 30% of the population in the Sunset neighbourhood, with the traditional Punjabi Market being the epicenter of Vancouver's Sikh community. In Vancouver's suburb of Surrey, Sikhs form a majority in the Newton and Whalley neighbourhoods. Surrey's Sikhs can be found in large numbers across the city, with the exception of South Surrey. Sikhs in New Westminister can be found in the Queensborough area, where they are upwards of 30% of the population, and have lived since 1919. The west side of Abbotsford similarly hosts a large Sikh community, forming over 60% of the population in some parts of the Clearbook and Townline Hill areas. Similar to New Westminster, the establishment of Abbotsford's Sikh community goes back generations to 1905. The southern half of Oliver, BC, a small town in the Okanagan Valley, also has a Sikh population above 40%.
