Big Ideas Deserve a Local Launch.

Something exciting is coming to Maple Ridge. Launch Maple Ridge is a community-powered initiative created to help local entrepreneurs and small businesses bring promising ideas to life through creative strategy, branding, and digital experiences.

Soon, you’ll be able to learn how to submit a project for consideration or help champion your favourite local business.

Applications and voting are not open yet. Join the list to be the first to know.

The person behind the counter
Every local business starts with someone. A florist up before dawn. A baker with flour on their sleeves. A maker who couldn’t let an idea go.
An idea worth chasing
It often begins at a kitchen table or in a garage, with a sketch, a recipe or a simple “what if?”
The courage to open the door
Turning an idea into a business takes long hours, small wins and a lot of heart.
A community that shows up
Local businesses grow when neighbours notice them, share the word and keep coming back.
Why we’re doing this
We believe thoughtful design, a clear message and a strong online presence can make a meaningful difference. This initiative is our way of putting those skills to work for the place we call home.
