… a message from our Mayor

On behalf of the City of Chilliwack, WELCOME!  During your search to establish your practice in our neighbourhood, you will discover that, with its 81,000 residents, Chilliwack is not only one of the fastest growing communities in the Province of British Columbia, but it is truly one of the most picturesque urban centres you will ever experience.

Word is spreading swiftly that you can “live, work, play, and prosper” in our community and the most precious gift Chilliwack can offer you is a healthy lifestyle.  Indeed, we like to think we have created an ideal balanced way of life.  Enjoy all the benefits of our excellent climate, natural surroundings, rural setting, family oriented neighborhoods, great public and private schools, recreational facilities, and the convenience and amenities of our vibrant urban core. Nestled amongst the fertile fields and pastures of the Fraser Valley at the foot of the majestic Cascade Mountains we also offer very competitive property prices.

You will be happy to note that our community is in the midst of developing the Canada Education Park, including an 85-acre parcel that will encompass a new campus for the University of the Fraser Valley; new facilities for the Justice Institute of British Columbia; a research and development facility; a medical training facility; and, property leasing opportunities for other research, education and high technology-related industries. Canada Education Park houses the RCMP Pacific Region Training Centre and the World Trade University (a private university that provides advanced international business education programs to students from around the world.)

The Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation (CEPCO) is committed to working with you to open a practice in our community.  The City and CEPCO are also working with Fraser Health to develop community focused health organizations whose goal will be to assist the medical community with location, support, and the administration of locums.

We encourage you to be a part of our growing community, and a part of what will be an outstanding addition and opportunity for the region.  Discover Chilliwack, the Great Outdoors!
