<p>The beauty of winter in the Fraser Valley lies in the numerous ways to slow down and appreciate the season. While summer often passes in the blink of an eye, the snowy months invite a more thoughtful pace. One filled with snow-dusted provincial parks, breathtaking holiday and light displays, and, of course, perfectly steamed hot drinks to enjoy along the way.</p>



<p>Once you’ve found your footing in the snow, you can always amp things up with more exciting adventures like tubing, fishing, or catching a hockey game. Just because the temperature has dipped doesn’t mean you need to stay indoors! Grab your mitts and follow your sense of adventure to your next winter diversion.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Before the Fraser Valley</strong></h2>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Well before this territory was ever called the Fraser Valley, it was known by its Halq’eméylem name, S’ólh Téméxw, meaning “our land” or “our world.”</p>



<p>For us, that name serves as a reminder that our organization stems from a lineage of settlers and visitors to this area, the traditional, ancestral land that was first home to the Stó:lō, Nlaka’pamux, Sts’ailes and St’at’imc Peoples.</p>



<p>As settlers and visitors, we therefore acknowledge our duty to treat this land and its first people with the utmost respect and gratitude. When you visit, we hope you’ll show that same respect and encourage those who come after you to do likewise.</p>



<p>The Fraser Valley is (and has always been) filled with Indigenous voices, history and heritage. As we continue to encourage both locals and visitors to connect with the land, nature, and culture here, we look to our Indigenous community, and its elders, for how to do this respectfully and honourably.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>We&#8217;ll soon be recognizing the <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/national-day-truth-reconciliation.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Day for Truth and Reconciliation</a> (September 30) once more, so we wanted to assemble a list of local experiences that highlight Indigenous artists, stories, and traditions that you can support any time of year. We highly recommend visiting these spots to renew your sense of place and get a refresher of how lucky we all are to be on the unceded lands of Indigenous peoples.</p>

<p>You can always count on Chilliwack for an escape from the ordinary! This character-filled community is chock-full of opportunities for adventure, so you have no reason to stay at home!</p>



<p>One of the most famous local attractions is, of course, <a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/cultus-lake-waterpark/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cultus Lake Waterpark</a>. As the biggest waterpark in British Columbia, it’s a top spot to cool off in Metro Vancouver, with everything from waterslides to spray parks and splash pads. If you’re looking to keep dry but still get the adrenaline pumping, there is also <a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/cultus-lake-adventure-water-park/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cultus Lake Adventure Park</a> just across the street! Home to all kinds of exhilarating rides and an epic mini golf course, this is an incredible theme park that you won’t need to book a flight for.</p>



<p>But if it’s culture you crave, take a wander through Downtown Chilliwack and check out the vibrant murals. Created as part of the <a href="https://www.chilliwackmuralfestival.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chilliwack Mural Festival</a>, each public piece reveals a different side of the city! This year’s fest runs from August 7 to 17, giving you the chance to watch vibrant murals come to life. Don’t miss the Street Party on August 15 &amp; 16,&nbsp; packed with live art, musical performances, food trucks, local vendors, and more!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ready to see some of the area&#8217;s majestic wildlife? Make your next stop the <a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/great-blue-heron-nature-reserve/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve</a>. Home to countless winged beauties, it’s a must-visit for curious little ones and nature lovers alike. Stroll along the boardwalk to spot herons—and many other species—then head up the lookout tower for a stunning 360-degree view of the wetlands. Note: the Centre Trail Bridge has been blocked off for public safety. Additionally, the Heron Reserve is only available from the Vedder Rotary trail, so be sure to plan your time and route accordingly! <a href="https://www.chilliwackblueheron.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Visit their website</a> for more information.</p>



<p>When it’s time for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, head to <a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/little-beetle-bistro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Little Beetle</a>. This stylish bistro is known for warm service and a menu full of crowd-pleasers. From pancakes and bennies to burgers and daily soups, it’s so much more than a place to refuel. Generous portions mean you’ll likely have a snack for later, too!</p>



<p>There’s a lot to discover in Chilliwack, so why not make it a full-day (or multi-day) adventure? Book a stay in one of the area&#8217;s welcoming <a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/explore/accommodations/?_regions=chilliwack" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hotels or guesthouses</a> to experience local life from sunrise to golden hour.</p>

These are the longest days of the year, after all, why not fill them with a bit of fun?</p>

<p>A sunny day in Abbotsford is a surefire way for the kids to form new core memories while you dig into your own summer nostalgia. Start by following your feet through the<a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/downtown-abbotsford/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Historic Downtown</a>, where you can stroll by the artisan shops and beautifully preserved storefronts. It&#8217;s the perfect vibe for a delicious detour to<a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/banter-ice-cream-abbotsford/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Banter Ice Cream</a>, where the seasonal flavours are ready to sample. With over 300 board games to choose from, the nearby<a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/boardwalk-cafe-games/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Boardwalk Cafe &amp; Games</a> should be your next stop to settle any arguments about where to head next. Whether it’s with Settlers of Catan or Taboo, there are more than a few ways to team up with/on the kids.</p>



<p>Once lunch rolls around, you can wander to<a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/jubilee-park/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Jubilee Park</a> for a picnic and playground, the winning combo for any bright forecast.</p>



<p>You could easily spend the day exploring the downtown core alone, but there are even more options if you decide to stay an extra day! At <a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/silverbrook-u-catch-trout-farm/">Silverbrook U-Catch Trout Farm</a>, little ones can try their hand at fishing at a local trout farm. A fun and accessible way to introduce them to the pastime of patience, the friendly staff has everything you need to reel in the first catch. For something with a bit more momentum, we recommend hiking and mountain biking in <a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/sumas-mountain-regional-park/">Sumas Mountain R</a><a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/sumas-mountain-regional-park/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">e</a><a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/sumas-mountain-regional-park/">gional Park</a>. The 1,471-hectare park is full of breezy trails and sweeping views, which you can set up as an incredible reward for all their impressive pedalling!</p>



<p>Then, to switch up the pace a bit,<a href="https://www.thefraservalley.ca/listing/the-reach-gallery-museum/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> The Reach Gallery Museum</a> is an excellent option for your arts and culture. Stop in and admire the engaging exhibits of local artists and learn about&nbsp; Abbotsford’s rich and diverse cultural heritage with programming curated for all ages.</p>



<p>Phew! It&#8217;s been a long day of exploring, and Abbotsford still has so much to see, so there&#8217;s always the option to stay over. Save yourself driving home with your crew (at least for a day or two) and have a look at all the fun staycation options in the area. Have the kids ever stayed in a geodome? Or how about a &#8220;cottage-core&#8221; B&amp;B? The <a href="https://tourismabbotsford.ca/stay/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">accommodations</a> in Abbotsford are ready to welcome your family.</p>
