LOCATION
Chilliwack is located in the Lower Mainland of the Pacific Coast of Canada in British Columbia. The city is about 100km from downtown
Vancouver, bordered by Abbotsford to the west, Agassiz to the north, Popkum to the east and the United States to the south. The city
of Chilliwack measures 23.5km from east to west and 12.5 km from north to south, covering a total territory of 25,900 hectares.
The subject property lays nestled in the peaceful neighborhood of Ryder Lake. This area is all about the landscape with crystal clear
rivers, gigantic mountains of BC and an ecosystem where humans and animals coexist. There are many subdivision developments all
along Chilliwack Lake Road that lead up to this large site. Most of the nearby attractions here are outdoors such as the Purple Hayes
School of Kayaking, Chilliwack River Rafting, Paintballing, Hiking, numerous fishing spots and a few campgrounds. A short 10 minute
drive leads into the new Garrison Village which houses numerous housing developments, restaurants, shops, the Canada Education
Park and the new University of the Fraser Valley Campus.
The University of the Fraser Valley enrolls over 15,500 students per year with campuses in Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Mission.
With the addition of a campus in India and new programs here in Canada, an influx of students were enrolling into UFV, which sparked
an 85 acre campus development in the Canada Education Park to increase the capacity of fulltime students by 5,000.
The Canada Education park which consists of the Justice Institute of BC, RCMP Training Centre, Canadian Border Services Agency and
UFV, employs a large number of people and drives housing developments to this particular area.

CANADA EDUCATION PARKThe University of the Fraser Valley in Chilliwack has
seen an influx of students in recent years. With the
number of full-time students increasing from 5,000
in 2007 to approximately over 18,000 by 2020.
With the BC Government funding over $30 million
dollars to UFV for their $40 million dollar campus
development project, there has been a ton of
interest from students to relocate to this new urban
campus.
There has been an increase of seniors attending the
Elder College, which is a branch of UFV, providing
adults over the age of 50 with access to educational
and learning opportunities. There is dedicated
housing for adults over 50 at the Campus 1
Building.
Regular shuttle services connect the Chilliwack and
Abbotsford campuses. A new public transit called
Fraser Valley Express bus (FVX) will soon allow
buses to be scheduled to run from the Chilliwack
campus to Langley, creating a comprehensive
transit service.
With this new transit system network and the
current increase in students forecasted to be
over 18,000 by 2020, there will be a great need
of developments for affordable student housing/
rentals, elders and many new young families.
