How to Spend a Rainy Day in Chilliwack

We’re bound to expect LOTS of rainy days living in the Fraser Valley Region, it’s kind of unavoidable… and at times can be quite gloomy. BUT on the bright side, it’s with all that rain we are able to experience the beautiful & lush greenery that surrounds us!

After all, we are SO lucky to have tons of local business & artisans around to explore & keep ourselves busy during these wet days… and we’re all about the local love at Old Yale!

So put on your rain gear, we’ve got you covered with some ideas to help make the most out of day!!
