The Downtown Chilliwack Community Market takes place Sundays from 10am to 2pm, from May 28th to October 15th, on the traditional and unceded territory of the Stó:lō Peoples.

Our market of local growers, gatherers, bakers, crafters and makers is a space where new relationships can form and thrive around those offerings, connecting the people of Chilliwack with quality food and goods.

As part of the Downtown Chilliwack Farmer’s Market family, you can expect a friendly community environment, marketing support, and boundless enthusiasm.

About usThe Downtown Chilliwack Community Market Society

The DCCM is entering its 3rd year of providing weekly markets where Chilliwack residents can connect with local growers, bakers, makers, and gatherers, and where vendors can offer their products to their local community. DCCM has quickly become Chilliwack’s most reliable source for high quality local food, art, and hand-made products.

The DCCM is run by a non-profit society built around community and food security. The market’s goal is to connect local families, individuals and seniors with local healthy food. This benefits both our local farmers and our community.

Food security is a core value of the Downtown Chilliwack Community Market. Over the past 2 years, we have provided over $44,000 directly towards food security in Chilliwack, including BCAFM Nutrition Coupons and our own ‘Market Coin’ initiative.

Through these stigma-free initiatives, food insecure individuals and families can access the Market and where they can purchase fresh, local foods with anonymity and dignity. This empowers families and individuals to make informed food choices – regardless of background, age, or means.

The DCCM works alongside The Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society and Chilliwack Community Services to deliver food security initiatives to the community.

Community & CultureBridging Gaps through Food Education

The Downtown Chilliwack Community Market (DCCM) takes place on the traditional and unceded territory of the Stó: lō Peoples and Skwah First Nation, in what is now known as Mill street, Downtown Chilliwack.

Agriculture on this continent began with indigenous knowledge. Many forms of modern agriculture are European-colonial for-profit systems that were not traditionally adopted by the First Peoples, who were caretakers of the land, protecting its long-term ability to provide nutritious food. It’s important that we support local small farms and farmers, while also promoting and protecting traditional food systems and indigenous knowledge.

We are proud to partner with local indigenous people to highlight the history of agriculture, and educate the community about First Peoples’ food systems, their history and current practices.

The DCCM also secures spaces for Indigenous vendors, including farmers, prepared foods and artisans, and removes any fees for Indigenous vendors.
