Chilliwack (/ˈɪləwæk/ CHIL-ə-wak) is a city of about 100,000 people and 261 km2 (100 sq mi) in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It is located about 100 km (62 mi) east of the City of Vancouver in the Fraser Valley. The enumerated population is 93,203 in the city and 113,767 in the greater metropolitan area. It is the second-fastest growing metropolitan area in Canada.

The city is on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Stó꞉lō Coast Salish peoples. It is estimated that at the time of the first contact with Europeans, there were as many as 40,000 people living within Stó:lō territory.

About two-thirds of city land is protected as part of the Agricultural Land Reserve, and agriculture accounts for about 30 percent of the local economy. The city is bounded on the north side by the Fraser River, on the south side by the Vedder River and Canada–United States border, and is surrounded by tall mountain peaks, such as Mount Cheam and Slesse Mountain.
