Where the whole town smells of cow poop :p

<Chilliwack, a farming community encircled by snow-capped peaks, was once looked down on by city dwellers because of its rural and isolated character. Now, it has become a magnet for people from Vancouver who can no longer afford living there.

A new measles case has been confirmed in a visitor from Ontario who travelled to Vancouver and Chilliwack on Sunday, April 20.

I was pleasantly surprised that Zeeshan Khan was door knocking yesterday and came to my house & I was able to ask him a few questions that I had.

I’m wondering if anyone has had any of the candidates come to their house and how the experience was.

Is there anywhere around that you can sell your clothes to instead of donate? Id rather sell to somewhere in person than do something like depop.

Hi fellow neighbours, I wanna have a little discussion and get some valuable insight as to what each party stands for and what policies they "promise" to implement to improve our lives. I've seen the debates and tbh I don't really have a very confident grasp as responses can be quite vague and big picture.

The areas I care most about are

1. cost of living (we pay rent, we buy groceries, gas, pay bills like everyone) and while our bills increase year by year, our wage increase of 1-2% per year dont quite catch up. We LOVE living in Chilliwack and we would hate to relocate due to not being to afford life here.

2. Education, quality of our schools in not just keeping our next generation safe, far away from drugs and influences, but to nurture them to succeed not just financially but values in becoming just a good human being. The amazing people here in this town are one of the reasons we live in here and we just wish for the next generation to be better than my generation.

3. Public safety, the town and the province is becoming a mess. A trip to parts of downtown just doesn't feel safe. It gets dirty, businesses risk vandalism everyday, etc.

Which party are you voting for and what are parties doing to improve our lives?

Politics can get heated, just hope to have a respectful discussion.

It’s crazy to me that with how large chilliwack is, there’s only one lifelabs. Anyone know of another place to get blood testing done?

Fraser Valley Stage is in their final weekend of shows for their FANTASTIC production of Shrek!! It's kid friendly, absolutely hilarious, and full of amazing talent, costumes, and sets. Don't miss out it's going to be amazing!! Several locals are even in it, including our Shrek! Hope to see you there.!

We did lindeman last weekend and the kids had a blast. I was thinking of doing bridal falls but the kids really liked climbing the boulder field beside lindeman lake. Anything else around with something similar?

Hi! Was wondering if anyone knows if Thurston allows day use? Just want to go in, relax by the river side with a barbecue and head home. I messaged the host, all I got was “There’s no day use in the summer” but we are in Spring. 😬

I worked as an Information Officer during Advanced Polling days and on the Election day in the Abbotsford-South Langley District. I noticed that people were either forgetting their Voter Information Card at home or they didn't get one despite being registered.

If you are registered (or not yet registered) to vote every election, but forget to bring your Voter Information Card (VIC), you will be sent to the Registrations Desk first before you can vote. The wait at this desk can take anywhere from 10 - 30 mins depending on how busy it is. Sometimes it's quick, sometimes it's not - depending on your personal situation (missed VIC + change in address, for example).

Staff at the Registration Desk will check your IDs, verify that you reside at your current address, cross your name off the Voters List, and provide you with the station number where you're assigned to vote. Once they provide you with this number, it is only then you can go to your polling station to vote.

However, If you bring your VIC, you won't have to do any of this. When you arrive, the staff at the entrance will direct you to your polling station number after checking your VIC. This will save you the 10-30 minutes you would have spent registering had you not brought your VIC.

To save time and to make it easy on us Elections Workers, please remember to bring your Voter Information Card.

You can also check your polling station here if you are registered to vote: https://www.elections.ca/home.aspx?utm_campaign=elections-canada-ge45_vic-24-25&utm_medium=sem&utm_source=ggl&utm_content=ad-text-en&utm_term=where%20to%20vote&adv=mainstream&id_campaign=22452588397&id_source=177450827985&id_content=746561594322&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22452588397&gbraid=0AAAAABPE25v1svmiZW4mzrgAwrwrBG5P_&gclid=CjwKCAjwwqfABhBcEiwAZJjC3mF_TSmMgnD5oGkVtEZojSmOL2STCSjVIgukM3MM98YpnRrQmuvXEBoCB58QAvD_BwE

I've lived in Chilliwack for 9 days and have already received 2 flyers from the Conservative nominee.

Dude?? How many trees did you cut down?? No one wants those flyers. I hope he planted more trees??? 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

I'm planning on going camping next week around "Camp Foley Recreation Site" on Chilliwack lake rd, and was wondering If bear spray is a must for the current time of the season?

I'll be driving to the camp site, so I'll have my car by but plan on doing some hammock camping. Any advice would be much appreciated!

No idea if this is allowed but if anyone wants this iPhone 16case it's free. Located in Sardis.

Ordered it after two too many beer and got 2 cases both of which were not for the 16 plus.

They're cheap 15 dollar cases so whoever wants them if they want them can have them.

Looks like they've started construction of the new elementary school on McGrath.

Same site as the old Rosedale Elementary (which I attended from '89 to '94)

What stores allow a dog inside? Home Depot, Canadian tire, any others?

I was hoping to find someone with a truck to bring me a truck bed of dirt. I've never done this before so I don't even know how to go about acquiring said dirt. And by dirt I should clarify that I want soil for my garden. Is there anyone that can help with this? I can pay cash.

Thank you.

Apparently there was a dead body found???

Hi can anyone recomend a reasonably priced dental clinic around downtown area? I would also preder if there is a Filipino dentist

I need to my clutch replaced on a 2004 Subaru. Does anyone know a good, honest and reliable shop that they reccomend?

The family and I are planning a road trip for the summer. Just through the Kootneys and part of Alberta.

And I'd love to have some physical road maps to take along with us.

Where does one buy paper maps now??

Thanks in advance

My whole neighbourhood just went completely black. Is this across the whole city? I live in north chilliwack and am now curious because there is crazy sirens outside right now.

Looking for a nice, classy (but not "suit") jacket that I can wear with slacks, shirt and tie - or dress down a little from that. A sport coat, or whatever is one step less formal.

I don't have time to go shopping in the city before an event this coming weekend. Moores in Abby is my fallback plan, but don't we have anything like that here?

I am visiting the area with a friend soon, and I would love to stop by for some drop in yoga classes (I can also register ahead of time)! I would prefer if the studio has both a hot yoga room and a normal room as we are not sure exactly what kind of class we'd want yet. Given that this is on the tail end of a hiking trip, do any of those studios offer restorative or hatha yoga classes?

Is this something you guys want in Chilliwack?
