Columbia Valley, near Chilliwack: Neighbourhood Guide

Neighbourhood guide · FVRD Electoral Area H · Columbia Valley

Living in Columbia Valley

Columbia Valley is a rural community in the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) Electoral Area H, south of the City of Chilliwack. It is not inside the City. The FVRD says Electoral Area H includes the communities of Columbia Valley, Cultus Lake and Lindell Beach. No official document gives street-by-street boundaries for the Columbia Valley community. The closest official descriptions are the FVRD’s Area H page and the FVRD Area H Evacuation Guide, which says Columbia Valley Road provides one-way-in, one-way-out access to the populated area around Cultus Lake. See all Chilliwack neighbourhood guides.

Facts come from the official sources noted on this page. Rules and boundaries change, so confirm anything important with the Fraser Valley Regional District and School District 33.

Planning, zoning and flood

Planning and flood notes for Columbia Valley

Plans, zoning and flood rules can be different for each lot.

  • The Official Community Plan for Electoral Areas E and H is FVRD Bylaw No. 1115, 2011. The FVRD’s housing report says it was adopted in 2011 for the former Electoral Area E and amended in 2019 to recognize the split of that area into Area E and Area H.
  • The FVRD lists these local services for Electoral Area H: the Dangerous and Aggressive Dog Bylaw, Emergency Management, Fire Protection, Flood and Debris Control, Sewer, Street Lighting and Water.
  • Columbia Valley is in an FVRD electoral area, Area H, outside the City of Chilliwack. The FVRD, not the City, sets its plan and zoning.
  • ALR: the FVRD’s Electoral Areas E and H Housing Needs Report says much of the non-mountainous part of Electoral Area H west of Lindell Beach is in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). ALR status is set parcel by parcel, so check the exact parcel on the Agricultural Land Commission map.
  • Hazards: the FVRD Area H Evacuation Guide lists interface fire, flooding, weather phenomena and landslide or slope stability among the local hazards, and says the area has fast-acting hazards such as wildfires, debris slides and flash flooding from heavy rain.
  • Landslide: BC Parks says the Cultus Lake Horse Trail was closed in August 2013 because of an active landslide, that it installed warning signs and reopened the trail, and that it strongly recommends visitors do not cross the landslide area during periods of intense rainfall.
  • I did not find floodplain mapping specific to Columbia Valley. Flood status is property-specific, so check the address with the FVRD.
  • Transit: BC Transit’s Transit Future Action Plan lists nine routes in the Chilliwack system, including route 56 Cultus Lake (summer only), and says the system provides service within the City of Chilliwack. I found no year-round fixed-route bus to Columbia Valley.

Columbia Valley is outside the City of Chilliwack, so City zoning does not apply. The FVRD sets zoning for Electoral Area H. Send me the address and I’ll point you to the right FVRD rules.

Before you buy in Columbia Valley

  1. Confirm the local government and rules. Columbia Valley is in FVRD Electoral Area H, so ask the FVRD, not the City, about zoning and building.
  2. Check the ALR. Look up the exact parcel on the Agricultural Land Commission map before you plan anything beyond the home.
  3. Ask about water, sewer and septic. Confirm how the property is served before you count on a suite or an addition.
  4. Plan your drive. Columbia Valley Road is one way in and out, and there is no year-round bus, so think about winter driving and summer traffic.
  5. Check flood and slope status. Ask the FVRD about the exact address, because no mapping specific to Columbia Valley was found.
  6. Get a full home inspection. Check the roof, drainage, plumbing, wiring and any septic system.

FAQ

Columbia Valley questions

Where is Columbia Valley?

Columbia Valley is a rural community in FVRD Electoral Area H, south of the City of Chilliwack. The FVRD says Area H includes Columbia Valley, Cultus Lake and Lindell Beach. Electoral Area H had 2,714 people in the 2021 Census and covers 121 square kilometres. No official document gives street-by-street boundaries, so ask me if a specific address is in it.

How do I get around from Columbia Valley?

BC Transit route 56 Cultus Lake runs in summer only, from July 1 until Labour Day, and its Rider’s Guide map labels Columbia Valley along the route. I found no year-round fixed-route bus service to Columbia Valley. The FVRD Area H Evacuation Guide says Columbia Valley Road provides one-way-in, one-way-out access only. See the route 56 page.

Which school is near Columbia Valley?

No school is located in Columbia Valley. The nearest SD33 school is Cultus Lake Swílhcha Community School (kindergarten to grade 5), at 71 Sunnyside Blvd, Cultus Lake. SD33’s Families of Schools list groups it with Mt. Slesse Middle and G. W. Graham Secondary. I did not confirm the catchment for Columbia Valley addresses. Check an exact address with the SD33 School Locator.

What parks and library are near Columbia Valley?

Cultus Lake Provincial Park is 11 km southwest of Chilliwack, and the Columbia Valley Highway bisects its southeast section. The Cultus Lake Community Hall is at 4220 Columbia Valley Highway and welcomes up to 90 people. The nearest library is Sardis Library, 5819 Tyson Road. I found no library branch in Columbia Valley or at Cultus Lake.

What plan covers Columbia Valley?

The Official Community Plan for Electoral Areas E and H is FVRD Bylaw No. 1115, 2011. The FVRD’s housing report says it was adopted in 2011 for the former Electoral Area E and amended in 2019 to recognize the split of that area into Area E and Area H.

Is Columbia Valley a flood or landslide area?

The FVRD Area H Evacuation Guide lists flooding and landslide or slope stability among the local hazards, and the FVRD provides a Flood and Debris Control service in Area H. I did not find floodplain mapping specific to Columbia Valley. Ask me or the FVRD about a specific lot.
