Chilliwack Cycle Tour

“I am excited for the 1st Annual Slow Food Summer Cycle Tour in Chilliwack.  This event not only promotes healthy living but gives participants a taste of the bounty of a few of the more than 900 farms in our City.  A hearty thank you to the farmers and organizers of this educational and fun event.  May this be the beginning of many more annual tours.” Mayor Sharon Gaetz

Slow Food Vancouver presented the 1st Annual Slow Food Cycle Tour Chilliwack the day after the Agassiz Slow Food Cycle Tour.  Almost 700 slow cyclists, mostly from Vancouver came to the Greendale area of Chilliwack for the 25km self-guided bicycle ride.

The day before,  the Agassiz Cycle Tour had almost 900 slow cyclists experiencing different farms and food offerings.
