Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve
One of our favourite stops whenever we have out of town visitors is the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve , a 130-hectare site (325 acre) located on the un-dyked floodplain of the Vedder River. Managed by the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve Society, the site is known for the breeding colony of Great Blue Herons as well as a wide variety of wildlife and vegetation.
For directions and information on all there is to see and do at this wonderful Chilliwack attraction visit their website here.

- Convenient to Sardis shopping
- Family and senior friendly subdivisions
- Edenbank Seniors Complex
Located south of Spruce Drive on the west side of Vedder Road, and with streets branching from the Wiltshire corridor, this residential area is home to many empty nesters and active retirees.
Attracting this population is the predominance of larger detached rancher style homes ideal for those wanting one-level living combined with yards large enough for gardening and outdoor enjoyment. A quiet neighbourhood of quality homes it is also attractive to families wanting the convenience of easy access to schools and the Sardis shopping areas.
Some larger executive homes on over-sized lots are located along Worthington and Newby Dr. as well as a mix of older and newer custom executive homes on Pioneer, Gleneden and Eden Drives.
This area is also home to Edenbank, Chilliwack’s most unique and beautiful seniors community with its expansive gardens, walking paths, executive clubhouse and varied mix of apartments, townhouses and detached homes within the community.

- Parks and greenspace
Still convenient to the Sardis shopping corridor yet with a more residential setting, the Spruce Grove/Wells Landing area consists of a number of smaller neighbourhoods attractive to families and seniors alike.
From the larger executive homes backing Wells Creek, to the affordable family neighbourhood surrounding Circle Drive Park, the adult community of Wellsbrooke, and the newer infill townhome complexes on Sunshine Drive and Wells Road, this area offers something for everyone.
Encompassing the area west of Vedder Rd and north of Spruce Drive, residents of these neighbourhoods enjoy quick access to both urban amenities and open greenspace. Evans road forms the western border to this area and when it is completed in the summer of 2009, the Evans Rd overpass and freeway interchange will make commuting a breeze from this area and will also provide residents quick access to the downtown amenities such as the Prospera Centre, Leisure Centre and Townsend Park.
