MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Even though summer is waving goodbye in our rear-view mirrors, we have a lot to look forward to this fall and winter. Chilliwack is a beautiful city in every season, and the fall colours and cooler weather can make for some unforgettable outdoor experiences. Whether you embrace the cooler temperatures and take advantage of the quiet on our trails in the off-season, or you prefer to stay inside, there’s something for everyone in this guide. Check out the program lineup for the season for some inspiration for your fall and winter activities. Mayor Ken Popove
The programs in our Leisure Guide are a collaborative effort. Each Leisure Guide contributor brings their own expertise, and as a team, we work to collectively address the needs and interests of our residents. Similarly, many of our facilities are operated by independent contractors with the expertise and knowledge best suited for daily operations. They help create recreational programming for everyone.
This guide is the result of partnerships between the City of Chilliwack, the Association of Community Programmers and School District No. 33, who help support the community school associations. On behalf of Chilliwack City Council, I hope you will take some time to page through this guide to see some of the ways we can all stay active in Chilliwack, even in the winter. Feel free to visit us online at chilliwack.com for updates on projects and events, and stay connected by following us on Facebook at facebook.com/Chilliwack, Twitter at twitter.com/City_Chilliwack or Instagram at instagram.com/chilliwackcity. Enjoy the season! Mayor Ken Popove Chilliwack, BC

PILATES
Pilates is a body conditioning routine that helps build flexibility and long, lean muscles, strength and endurance in the legs, abdominals, arms, hips, and back.

This class offers intervals, circuits, obstacles, agility, functional strength and movement training using the latest techniques in fitness to help you achieve your goals.
