Redevelopment Plan

Garrison Crossing is a new neighbourhood created by Canada Lands Company on the former Chilliwack military base. This exciting mixed use development will build on the legacy of the site’s proud military past and its beautiful natural setting to create a vibrant and sustainable community.

Vision

Garrison Crossing will be a unique, diverse, and thriving residential neighbourhood that complements its surroundings, contributes to the healthy growth of Chilliwack, and builds on its rich military past. Garrison Crossing will be a model of responsible development that seeks to respect the natural environment, connect to its neighbours, provide for housing choice, and reuse the existing built and natural assets where possible.

Goal

To build an outstanding neighbourhood that adds value to the greater community by encompassing the following ideals: 

• Adaptive Reuse - Use the significant natural and built resources of the site in redevelopment, including buildings, roadways, and trees where possible, to create an exceptional and unique neighbourhood. 
• Environmental Sensitivity - Respect, conserve, and enhance the significant and valued natural assets of the site. 
• Legacy - Incorporate the rich military history of the site as an important central theme in redevelopment. 
• Diversity - Provide for a range of types and styles of homes, local services, and associated amenities that include all age groups and complement adjoining land uses.
• Connection - Ensure that future redevelopment continues to provide activities and facilities for the surrounding neighbourhoods and the greater Chilliwack community. 
• Innovation - Explore new and proven urban forms that create a more pedestrian, compact, green, and complete neighbourhood that is more efficient, healthy, safe, and livable.
