If it’s been a while since you’ve spent time in the city, there are lots of changes - hit up a few of the Breweries in East Vancouver, where many have patios to enjoy a beer in the sun. You can even get the seabus to North Vancouver and enjoy the new Shipyards district, all while taking in the view of downtown from the other side of the water.
4.Mount Baker

Once the border opens up to Canadians, be sure to check out the beautiful scenery Mount Baker has to offer.
While visiting the area, a must-do is to visit Artist Point, one of the most breathtaking views of the volcano. Located at the very end of Mount Baker Highway, watching over Mount Baker on the southwest side while on the other side gazing over the beautiful North Cascades Mountain Range and Mount Shuksan.
Just a couple of steps away from the parking lot, Nooksack Falls trail is accessible for people of all skill levels. Once you get there you will be amazed by the fast-moving body of water.
If you’re looking for a more challenging activity with a high reward value, Chain Lakes Loop should be your priority. It is considered a moderate hike, 10.5 km in length, with a 555 metre elevation. This trail has many different access points so you can choose where you want to start the hike. Don’t want to do the whole thing? No problem, you can take any route you’d like and walk back to your starting point.

We’ve gathered our top 5 things to do in and around Chilliwack on a hot sunny day. Whether you’re looking for something fun in town, or something more adventurous, there’s something here for everyone. Best thing about these activities is that you can bring your friends and family along!

Open 10:30 am- 6:30 pm, Cultus Lake Waterpark is a great place to spend the whole day outdoors without letting the heat get to you.
The attractions range from spray parks to speed slides 72 feet off the ground, so that everyone can enjoy themselves. You don’t want to be in the water all day? No problem, you can rent a BBQ and enjoy a meal with your friends.
If you’re planning a full weekend of fun, you can also visit the Cultus lake theme park.
Located in Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park, Lindeman and Greendrop Lakes Trail is a hike that offers beautiful scenery of the surrounding lakes and peaks. It is a dog friendly hike, so you don’t have to leave them behind when you go on your adventures.
It’s a 10.9km hike there and back, or you can make it last longer by camping overnight at the lake.
If you get too hot, you have a chance to plunge into the lake and cool off. Sounds like the best summer activity to us.

[post_content] => Staying busy can be tough when there are so many hobbies you can pick up! From learning something new online to picking up an old former hobby, your options are endless. Since starting a hobby is a great way to add structure to your daily routine and strengthen your brain, we’ve decided to round up our top 7 retirement hobbies for seniors.
Online Learning
Taking the time to learn something new at any age of your life is important! Learning new things, whether it’s a hobby, or a lifelong interest that you want to learn more about, learning can bring joy and structure to your day-to-day.
Online learning is accessible, flexible, and often very cost-effective. With minimal supplies, other than a computer or tablet and an internet connection, you can find a variety of how-to videos on YouTube, or short, self-directed courses through local colleges and universities. The best part? Many online learning options are fairly cheap, costing you a fraction of what an in-person class would, and sometimes, they’re even free! By choosing to learn online, you’re able to utilize a customized learning experience that works best for you.
Walking and Hiking Groups
One of the easiest and healthiest hobbies to take up is to join a walking or hiking group! Not only will you have the chance to get out of the house and into the fresh air, but you’ll feel great while doing it!
Walking for a quick 45-minutes a day has a variety of positive impacts on your health, including lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, and reducing your risk of heart attacks and strokes. Some of our favourite trails are Mt. Thom Park, Chilliwack Community Forest, Jinkerson Park, and Sardis Park.
Book Club
You may remember book clubs being all the rage years ago, but they’re definitely seeing a resurgence with readers of all ages! Reading as you age helps with a variety of things, including your overall cognitive health, your ability to concentrate, and your ability to deal with stress and improve your memory.
Joining a book club means you’re joining a community of likeminded individuals with similar goals and beliefs as you. Whether you’re reading a classic or something new, you’ll be sure to find a deep connection with your book club friends.
In addition to joining a community of likeminded people, book clubs offer you a glimpse into society from another point of view. When you have a chance to discuss a topic that you’re passionate about, you often hear a variety of interpretations, which expands your knowledge.
Scrapbooking
Looking for an easy at-home hobby? Why not try out scrapbooking! Not only does scrapbooking help you preserve your cherished memories, but it also helps you sort through your boxes of photographs and declutter!
Scrapbooking as a hobby is a great way to get those creative juices flowing. You can spend hours upon hours sifting through your photos and other memorabilia and planning how you want each page of your scrapbook to look. The best part? It’s a hobby that can be passed down to your kids and grandkids.
Photography
Photography is another great hobby for seniors, and it pairs especially well with online learning. There are hundreds of websites, videos, and forums dedicated to photography for beginners and they’re often rich in content and free to access.
Photography allows you to understand your hidden artistic abilities! You don’t need the latest technology or a fancy camera to start your journey, a simple cellphone camera should do the trick, especially when you’re starting out.
So, the next time you’re thinking of taking a walk-through Chilliwack’s beautiful trails, why not bring your camera along for the trip?
Gardening
Are you looking for a hobby that keeps you close to home? Gardening will do the trick – and you can do it year-round! Gardening is an ideal activity for seniors because it’s fun, allows you to be creative, and aids in daily exercise. Gardening on a regular basis improves your body physically and mentally, with light lifting, bending, and reaching, as well as pre-planning what your space will look like.
With the ability to garden year-round, you can get pretty creative with your space, even if it’s on the smaller side. From planning to planting seeds, to watching them grow and flourish into your beautiful masterpiece, you’ll find yourself invested throughout the entire process.
The next time you’re looking for a couple of plans to spruce up your outdoor space, why not check out a local gardening centre? Our favourite gardening centre is Minter Country Garden.
Bird Watching
Are you interested in getting outdoors and learning about your local ecosystem? Why not try bird watching? Bird watching can be enjoyed at any age and mobility level. Not only does it get you outside, but it can aid in a variety of health-related issues as well. By spending time in nature, you can decrease stresses and anxiety, and practice your meditation skills.
Now that you’ve heard our top list of hobbies, what are you waiting for? It’s time to try one out and see what you’ll like!
For a limited time, Malloway Village is offering a fast-close bonus on select home purchases. Right now, you can save $20,000 on the purchase of your new home. For more information, contact us today by email at cliff@mallowayvillage.ca or by phone at 604-961-5160.
