Looking for some structured walks to enjoy the natural beauty of Chilliwack?
For the next two months, it's a chance to do 8 Walks in 8 Weeks with Chilliwack Walks. Anyone can join this walking challenge.
It starts at 6:45 p.m. every Tuesday evening, starting June 30.
Walkers will get to meander through some of the most beautiful areas in the community.
Or you can walk anywhere you like actually. Just check off a running shoe icon in the official "Walking Passport" that you can pick up at several locations, for every walk you take.
Passports are at City Hall and the Leisure Centre and at other sponsor locations.
Here's how it works. Pick a walk. Walk around your own neighbourhood or a take a nice walk when you’re on vacation. Or join the eight different walks organized by the Chilliwack Active Communities Committee listed below.
When finished the walks, hand in the passport at the Y, Cheam Centre, Leisure Centre, City Hall no later than 4 p.m. on Thursday, August 27. All passports will be entered to win prizes. One entry per person.
