Shoppers and diners are being encouraged to downtown Chilliwack this weekend to help boost local business.

The Chilliwack Economic Recovery Network and the Downtown Chilliwack BIA have worked together with other partners to create the Chilliwack Walk and Shop event. It began Aug. 20 and runs until Aug. 23.

The idea is to help boost the local economy following months of struggles due to COVID-19, from closures, to illness and a slowdown in shopping and dining habits. Businesses were encouraged to participate in the three-day event by holding sales, promotions and events in a safe way for their customers.

For more information on who is participating, and how, visit the Downtown Chilliwack BIA Facebook page.
