CHILLIWACK — Tourism Chilliwack is inviting visitors to get out and touch some grass, catch some fish and climb some mountains this summer with its latest campaign.

Throughout July and August, guests are welcome to experience “The Great Outside” in and around the city. The campaign features a range of travel plans, including guided tours, trail adventures, festivals, and farm markets.

“Chilliwack is a true gem when it comes to its breadth of outdoor recreation activities and ways to get away from it all in the heart of the Fraser Valley,” said Tourism Chilliwack’s Carly Brkich.

“This campaign is all about celebrating The Great Outside and showcasing Chilliwack as the definitive destination for exhilarating al-fresco adventures of all sorts, with space and soul for everyone, and protecting this gift that we all are able to explore and enjoy.”
