This city is surrounded by mountains and recreational areas such as Cultus Lake and Chilliwack Lake Provincial Parks. It is located 102 kilometres (63 miles) southeast of Vancouver.

== Etymology ==
In Halq'eméylem, the language of the Stó:lō communities around Chilliwack and Sardis, ''chilliwack'' means "as far upriver as you can go before having to switch to a pole." It also lends its name to the Chilliwack River, and group of aboriginal people, the Ts’elxweyeqw.〔Chilliwack Museum and Archives〕 The spelling of Chilliwack is sometimes a matter of confusion. Prior to the amalgamation of the City of Chilliwack and the Municipality of Chilliwhack, there were two different spellings. Upon amalgamation, the current spelling of the city was adopted. Anglicized spellings include "Chilliwhyeuk" and other versions closer to the original Halq'eméylem.
