Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation

When people talk about "Beautiful British Columbia," they might as well be talking about Chilliwack, BC. Chilliwack is nestled in a wide, fertile river valley surrounded by endless mountains, miles of crystal clear lakes, and acres of untamed wilderness. It is quite literally one of the most extraordinary areas of the planet. As part of the Greater Vancouver/Lower Mainland Economic Region, Chilliwack enjoys some of the same benefits as Vancouver: Canada's low cost dollar, proximity to major markets (the Pacific Rim), and easy access to the United States. Even with all these benefits, Chilliwack has more to offer with a lower cost of living and competitive labour, energy, land and housing costs. With a growing population of 92,308, an ever-expanding infrastructure of leisure facilities, a mild climate, a vast array of recreational opportunities, shopping, arts and culture and a continuously growing education district (Canada Education Park), Chilliwack is fast becoming the destination of choice for many new businesses and residents. Competitive costs, combined with a strong economy and a superb quality of life, make Chilliwack one of the best places in the world to locate a business.
