Bridal Veil Mountain Resort
BC’s Next Great All-Season Mountain Resort
The proposed resort will be situated in the Chipmunk Creek Watershed, south of the Fraser River,
within the Fraser Valley Regional District, about 100 km east of Vancouver.
The natural attributes of the mountains south of Chilliwack in general and of the Chipmunk Creek watershed in particular, combined with the proximity to a large, growing, and under subscribed recreational marketplace in the Fraser Valley, make this a very exciting resort development opportunity.
The BVMR EOI outlines the preliminary elements and considerations for the project, following the BC All Season Resort Policy and Guidelines. The vision and concepts are preliminary and will be refined through collaboration with local First Nations Communities, as well as input from local government and stakeholders.

Nature Chilliwack is actively involved in local, provincial and national conservation issues. We write letters in response, attend public open houses, submit briefs to environmental assessment hearings, respond to legals in the local papers and generally keep abreast with current concerns. Loss of ALR lands and wetlands especially concern us. We collaborate with many local environmental groups. Recently we worked with the Chilliwack Museum to bring in “Out of the Darkness” A travelling exhibition on Bat Conservation in BC. It is at the museum until February 22, 2025
