Welcome to The Great Outdoors

Resting in the foothills of the majestic Cascade mountain range, and beside the historic Fraser River, Chilliwack offers equal opportunity for adventure, relaxation, commerce and agriculture.
While no single part of Chilliwack defines another, they do illustrate the many different reasons for living, working and playing here.
Straddling the Trans-Canada Highway, Chilliwack is only an hour’s drive from the oceanside and Vancouver, at the doorway to the mighty Fraser Canyon, and only 20 minutes to the Sumas, Washington border crossing. Whether you’ve come to reach the highest mountaintops, feel the pristine waters, or simply revel in a community which celebrates its history while embracing the future, Chilliwack is within arm’s reach of anyone’s wildest dreams.
So have fun. And explore with us, as we discover Chilliwack and all its many wonders. From festivals, special events and sports, to shops, restaurants and entertainment, you can find something for every season, year after year in our fair city.;
