Message from the Mayor Summer in Chilliwack is truly spectacular and we hope you are as excited about it as we are! Whatever your recreation passion, there is definitely something for you in Chilliwack. We are fortunate to have endless outdoor recreational activities available in our community. Get active on our lakes, rivers, mountains, parks and fields. In addition to getting outside, weâ€™ve delivered an excellent summer program lineup in this Leisure Guide offering something for every age and interest. The programs in our Leisure Guide are made possible thanks to strong relationships between many different stakeholder groups. This guide is the result of partnerships between the City of Chilliwack, the Association of Community Programmers and School District No. 33, who assist in the support of the Community School Associations. Each contributor to the Leisure Guide brings with them an expertise that collectively addresses

the needs and interests of the residents of our community. Likewise, many of our facilities are operated by an independent contractor with the expertise and knowledge best suited for daily operations. They help shape the recreational programming we all enjoy. On behalf of Chilliwack City Council, I encourage you to take a moment to read through this guide, see what it has to offer and take advantage of all the amazing ways you can get active in Chilliwack. Donâ€™t forget to visit us online at www.chilliwack.com for updates on projects, events and celebrations within our community. You can also stay connected by liking us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/Chilliwack, or by following us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/City_Chilliwack. Stay active, Mayor Sharon Gaetz

The City of Chilliwack has a facility to meet all your needs:

space large enough for 250 people in a banquet setting and up to 300 people in a theatre setting. If a small meeting room is what you need, the Clover Room has a meeting capacity of 30. If you enjoy playing tennis year round, the Landing Sports Centre can accommodate you with the four indoor tennis courts housed in the main floor and drop-in tennis is available from October 1st through to March 31st of each year.

Evergreen Hall Located at 9291 Corbould Street, the Evergreen Hall is a prime location to host gatherings of various types and sizes.

Formal Gatherings...

micro soccer games running concurrently. The installation of the shock pad underneath the turf provides an added layer of support and protection for the players and the covered enclosed team benches keep the players comfortable during the rainy or hot weather. There are four team change rooms and a referee change room available for use upon request. A turf warm-up area is available for teams waiting to enter the field that has ladders and other warm up aids stitched into the turf. The 2,000 seat covered grandstand provides a great viewing experience for the spectators and the perimeter fencing around the entire site provides security for ticketed entry events. Field scoreboard and public address system are also available upon request. Full concession services are available through the Chilliwack Football Club.

Townsend Park The Artificial Turf Field, constructed at the East end

of Townsend Park, has some exciting features: • It can sustain up to 6x the play of natural turf • It doesn’t require rest periods for turf to heal • It reduces the burden on other natural fields • Maintenance costs are similar to premier natural turf • New turf technologies incorporate crumb rubber to reduce injuries • This field is only closed when snow accumulates on it. Otherwise it stays open in all weather conditions

Twin Rinks Located at 5725 Tyson Road, the Twin Rinks ice arena was founded in 1982.

Recreation and Culture

Parks & Trails

Waterfowl in Parks

Dog Off-Leash Parks

Please do not feed the ducks and geese. While it is enjoyable to feed the waterfowl, it is also detrimental to them and to our environment. Feeding waterfowl: • Disturbs natural migration patterns, leading to extremely large concentrations of birds, Overcrowding can lead to disease and fighting amongst the population. • Destroys the birds’ ability to forage and find food for themselves. • Deprives the birds of essential nutrients and can cause serious digestive problems. • It reduces usable areas for people due to the large amounts of feces and potentially aggressive waterfowl. • It causes costly efforts to keep our parklands usable and clean and to manage the ever-increasing numbers of waterfowl. Feeding waterfowl is also illegal and can result in a fine of up to $2000 (Bylaw 2974). Please help us to manage these large waterfowl populations by allowing the birds to feed themselves. Remember, real geese do not eat bread.

A Dog-Off Leash Parks are an ideal place where owners can take their dogs to run freely without a leash. However off-leash does not mean “out of control”. Pet Owners must ensure that their pets are controlled and not violent or aggressive. Pet owners must be onsite for the duration and must have a leash immediately available.

In order to ensure the safety of you and your pet, when visiting the Dog Park: • Please avoid bringing toys and food to the off-leash area when other dogs are present; • Please pick up after your dog and fill in any holes your dog digs to ensure a clean and safe play area; • A valid license and current vaccination for your dog is required

Current Dog Off Leashes Are Located at:

Browne Creek Wetlands The Browne Creek Wetlands are located in the Vedder Greenway, on the south side of the Vedder River, and extend from the Vedder River Campground to west of the Southern Railway bridge. While the primary feature of the area is the spawning channel network constructed by DFO and the Fraser Valley Watersheds Coalition, the City of Chilliwack and Rotary Club of Chilliwack have partnered to develop a network of just over 2 km of recreational trails along the spawning channels. Two main trails, appropriately named the Kingfisher and the Beaver trail, flank the rehabilitated spawning channels and allow trail users to observe the natural systems up close. Take time to visit this wonderful new recreational area where wildlife, recreation, education, sustainability and conservation align.

NWO Roller Girls Association Founded in 2011, NWO Roller Girls Association is a skater owned and operated competitive flat track roller derby league with all-female adult teams and coed youth teams. Comprised of strong, diverse, and independent people, we pride ourselves in representing Chilliwack and this amazing sport! The youth teams provide opportunities for personal growth and development of young athletes in our community. By teaching the exciting sport of junior roller derby we strive to encourage teamwork, confidence, sportsmanship and fun among young people. We welcome youth regardless of athletic ability or skating experience and strive to nourish and develop each person’s innate strengths.

We follow the True Sport principles of: Go for it Keep it Fun Play Fair Respect Others Stay Fit Give Back

Our season begins in September, when we have our annual registration day at The Landing Sports Centre. We are always welcoming new skaters, between the ages of 7 and 18, into our “Learn to Skate” program. In this program, everyone learns the basics of roller skating including stride, stopping, falling safe and agility skills. Once a skater completes this program, they will then proceed to a team, based on their age, ability and skill set. Everyone learns the game and the rules behind it, to make it safe. We also welcome experienced skaters and roller derby players, some of whom progress straight to a team. As a leader in roller derby in BC, we strive to play one home and one away game from January through to June. Travelling is fun! We have a great time, build teamwork and make friends for life.

Roller derby is growing fast and we are too - join us! If you are interested in learning more about junior roller derby in the Fraser Valley, contact us at: nwojuniorderby@gmail.com. The women’s team recruit every Fall. Learn more at www.nworollergirls.com or contact us at: nworollergirls@gmail.com

Chilliwack is one of 82 communities in BC that are registered as an official Active Community. The Chilliwack Active for Life Committee is championing a community effort to encourage all residents of Chilliwack to lead a healthier, active lifestyle.

four simple guidelines to remember for raising healthy children

Enjoy– FIVE or more vegetables & fruits every day

Power down– no more than TWO hours of screen time a day

Play actively– at least ONE hour each day

Choose healthy– ZERO sugar-sweetened drinks Our Healthy Kids Initiative is framed by a health promotion message - Live 5-2-1-0 - that is easy to remember, solution-oriented (we have tips on how to follow it!) and evidence-based (it works!). Led by the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice, in partnership with SCOPE, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital, we are working with community partners to make the healthy choice, the easy choice for children in the community.

Chilliwack Family YMCA

Aquatics We offer a unique continuous swim lesson system. At the Y, you no longer need to scramble every season to ensure your child gets a convenient swim lesson time. We offer swim lessons on a continuous basis and once you’ve signed up and selected your spot, it’s yours to keep. This means you do not need to register every season and you don’t have to worry about having your slot taken by someone else. You can register your child at any time and they can progress at their own pace within a group. We help kids jump in, have fun, learn to swim Our programs—from Bobbers to Stars—give your kids the skills needed for a lifetime of safe fun in the water. Membership makes it easy for families to be active together with recreational swimming and family swimming at convenient times. Membership includes access to Aquafit and lane swimming. For those 16 and older who have their Bronze Cross, NLS or Star 6 accreditation already, we offer a course in how to become a YMCA Swim Instructor.

MEND - Mind, Exercise, Nutrition... Do It! Trying to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle can be challenging. With school, an abundance of screen time and a busy family life, kids are spending less time being active and as a result, many are above a healthy weight. Helping kids grow up strong and healthy is why the YMCA exists. That’s why we offer MEND, a provincially funded program that empowers healthier. This free and fun 10-week program supports children ages 7-13 who are above a healthy body weight to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Parents/ caregivers join their children in each session to learn about how to choose healthier foods and spend more time being physically active.
