MEET THE PRESERVER. “As the salmon go, so do we. That is how critical, how magical, how magnificent our salmon are.” - Eddie Gardner | Each autumn to winter, a natural symphony unfolds in Chilliwack — a choreography of wild salmon, the steadfast presence of cedar trees, and the life force of the river itself. Beyond this natural wonder, lies a story steeped in significance and history, intricately woven into the fabric of the region. As salmon seek refuge in these waters, the significance of their habitats and life cycles becomes a call to action for preservation. We had the privilege of speaking with Eddie Gardner a Stó:lō Elder and Sqwá First Nation Councillor of Lands and Resources, where he shared insights into his enduring commitment to safeguarding wild salmon, revealing a narrative of activism that has spanned years and emphasizes the urgency of protecting these vital ecosystems.Read Eddie’s interview through the link in our bio, and learn how Chilliwack is where nature, history, and activism converge, compelling us to recognize our role in preserving the health and well-being of these connected natural areas. #ShareChilliwack #ProtectingThisGift #InStólō #MeetTheProtectors

Shortcuts

This is Chilliwack | #InStólō

The Magnetic Field is changing, and it’s pointing East.

In search of pathways less travelled, Chilliwack is that place for rejuvenation. To unplug from empty distraction and plug into elevated perspectives.

Mountain High Valley Low River Wide Lake Deep

The Chilliwack River flows out of the valley and into the Fraser River. Going back upstream, as far as you can go – this is the meaning behind the name of our city. This is the meaning of Chilliwack, or Ts’elxwéyeqw. Holding tightly to our Indigenous roots, we pay homage to the Stó:lō people and Halq'eméylem language that connect us to the history and to the land.
