Neighbourhood guide · City of Chilliwack · Vedder
Vedder Crossing is an MLS® sub-area name in the City of Chilliwack. The City doesn’t publish a boundary for it. The closest official description is the South Vedder Neighbourhood Plan area at the south end of Chilliwack. It is bordered by the Chilliwack River and Vedder River to the south, the Promontory neighbourhood to the southeast, Tzeachten First Nations Lands to the east, Vedder Road to the west and the broader Vedder neighbourhood to the north. The Province uses Vedder Crossing Bridge as a dividing point. The watercourse is generally called the Chilliwack River upstream of the bridge and the Vedder River between the Vedder Canal and the bridge. See all Chilliwack neighbourhood guides.

The South Vedder Neighbourhood Plan, adopted by Council in 2022 and updated in 2025, is the closest City plan. The Sardis Neighbourhood Plan was adopted on January 5, 2021, through Bylaw 2020, No. 5024. Official Community Plan Bylaw 2025, No. 5500 (Chilliwack 2050) was adopted on December 16, 2025.
The Chilliwack and Vedder River runs along the south side of the area. The City says the provincial dike standard and floodplain mapping for the Vedder River is based on the 1-in-200-year flood. The Province says the November 2021 atmospheric river put 440,000 m³ of sediment in the Vedder River between Vedder Crossing and the Highway 1 bridge, and that this reduced flood capacity. Ask me or the City about a specific lot.
ALR status is set parcel by parcel, so check the exact address on the Agricultural Land Commission map. The City says nearly 70% of the land in Chilliwack is in the ALR, which is a city-wide figure. Lot size (MLS sales data, not an official source): the median lot size of detached houses sold between July 1 and October 8, 2026 was 4,423 sq ft, based on 11 sales with a recorded lot size.
