From Chilliwack's modest agricultural roots of yesteryear, the community has grown into the second largest municipality in the Upper Fraser Valley, covering a territory of 100 square miles.

Chilliwack's neighbours are the US/Canada border to the south, Abbotsford to the west, the Fraser River to the north and the unincorporated area of the Fraser Valley Regional District as well as Bridal Falls and Hope to the east.

Chilliwack features a significant services and trade sector (including retail and tourism related activities); agriculture; forestry; and manufacturing operations (industries include: plastics; pharmaceuticals; highway trailers; pet foods; environmental products; medical technologies; mining equipment; furniture and lumber re-manufacturing).

A walk through downtown Chilliwack reveals a community that is rich in arts, culture and history, and alive with activities for visitors of all ages. Visit the Library, Museum, Farmer's Market, antique shops, restaurants and the Arts Centre. It is accessible from Highway 1.
