Chilliwack Community Organizations Working Together

The partnership between Community Futures South Fraser, the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce, the Chilliwack Downtown BIA, and CEPCO is more than just a collaboration—it’s a movement. These organizations work together with a shared vision: to fuel business growth, spark innovation, and build a thriving, connected community. Each group brings something unique to the table, whether it’s funding and mentorship, advocacy and networking, downtown revitalization, or large-scale economic development. But at the core, it’s about people—hardworking entrepreneurs, passionate business owners, and community leaders who believe in the potential of Chilliwack and are willing to put in the work to make it happen.

When small businesses win, the entire community wins. That’s why this partnership is so powerful. Community Futures South Fraser provides financing and hands-on coaching for startups, while the Chamber of Commerce gives businesses a platform to connect and grow. Meanwhile, the Downtown BIA is in the trenches, driving foot traffic to local shops, organizing events, and making the heart of Chilliwack a place where people want to be. And behind the scenes, CEPCO is working on the big-picture strategy—attracting investment, securing infrastructure projects, and creating opportunities that set businesses up for long-term success. It’s not just about economic growth; it’s about making Chilliwack a place where businesses don’t just survive—they thrive.

This kind of collaboration doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built on trust, shared goals, and a relentless drive to see Chilliwack reach its full potential. Whether it’s through grants, training sessions, networking events, or city-wide initiatives, these organizations are showing up for businesses and for the community. The result? A city that’s growing in the right way—stronger, more connected, and full of opportunity. Chilliwack’s future isn’t just bright; it’s being built, one partnership at a time.
