WELCOME TO CHILLIWACK
Tourism Chilliwack invites you to experience the best of nature, culture, and community. Nestled in the heart of British Columbia, Chilliwack offers a sanctuary where visitors can unplug from the rush of modern life and reconnect with the land. Surrounded by majestic mountains, wide rivers, and fertile valleys, Chilliwack boasts endless opportunities for outdoor adventures, from hiking and fishing to exploring vibrant local farms.
Our deep connection to the land, shaped by the traditions of the Stólō-Coast Salish peoples, is reflected in every aspect of life here. Chilliwack celebrates diversity, creativity, and a spirit of harmony with nature, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all who seek rejuvenation and inspiration.
From farm-fresh experiences to rich cultural encounters, Chilliwack offers something for every traveler. Whether you come for the serene landscapes, vibrant arts scene, or community-driven events, you’ll find yourself returning to the pathways less traveled.
The Organization
Tourism Chilliwack was established in 1998 as part of the Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation (CEPCO). The organization was created to forge a partnership between the City of Chilliwack and the tourism industry, to promote growth and diversification and to increase the economic impact of tourism. In 2006, Tourism Chilliwack became incorporated, with the City of Chilliwack as its sole shareholder. We are a non-traditional Destination Marketing Organization (DMO), which has a business function but also conforms to governance policies and undertakes strategic planning.
Chilliwack Heritage Park
Tourism Chilliwack proudly operates Chilliwack Heritage Park a 65-acre park that boasts a 150,000 square foot building. Heritage Park can accommodate a whole host of events from trade shows and conventions, concerts, dog shows, horse shows, Arena Cross Events, ABA BMX Bike Grand Nationals, Kart Racing, local club events and more!
