:"This page is for the community in British Columbia. For other uses see Silverdale.Silverdale is a semi-rural neighbourhood of the District of Mission, British Columbia, Canada c. 40km west of Vancouver on the west bank of the Stave River at its confluence with the Fraser. Noted for its historic Italian Canadian community, its economy was farming, fishing and logging based until the general suburbanization of Fraser Valley life in the 1960s and '70s. Of its Italian community, notable offspring include Phil Gaglardi, former BC Highways minister, and speed-skater Eden Donatelli. Silverdale is also notable as the site of Canada's first train robbery, by the "Gentleman Bandit" Billy Miner, and it is there he is supposed to have first used the polite "Hands Up!" in the course of the robbery.
Silverdale has been approved as the site of an intense residential development by Genstar, which will urbanize the area as well as neighbouring Silverhill.
