Chilliwack Attractions
70 km (43 mi.) east of Vancouver lies the community of Chillawack, a striving rural town which proudly calls itself the "Green Heart" of British Columbia. Yale Road, the old meandering road to Rosedale, passes through fields of hops and vegetables and pastureland. Farmers offer their produce for sale at the roadside.
