Home Away from Home Pet Hotel

Home Away from Home Pet Hotel

Tamara started Home Away from Home Pet Hotel because of her lifelong love for animals—especially dogs. When her and her family purchased five acres in Rosedale, she knew she wanted to create something from home that truly reflected her passion. Her vision was to build a kennel with a warm, welcoming atmosphere—more than just a boarding facility, but a true Home Away from Home for dogs. A place where they could enjoy their own little vacation while their owners were away.

To bring this dream to life, she reached out to Community Futures for guidance. They have shown to be incredibly supportive, offering valuable resources and assistance in many aspects of starting a business. With their help, she was able to turn her vision into reality and officially open The Pet Hotel.

They are a small, 12-run facility where every dog has its own individual indoor/outdoor space, complete with cozy beds, blankets, toys, and dishes to make their stay as comfortable as possible. Beyond the hotel, they also have a large dog park where their guests get daily exercise, playtime, and plenty of fun.

At Home Away from Home Pet Hotel, they’re dedicated to providing a safe, loving environment where dogs feel happy and at ease—just like they would at home.

You’ll eventually find the Rotary Trail. This beautiful trail is a staple of enjoying the outdoors of Chilliwack. You can start at the Vedder Bridge Crossing and meander along the shore line of the Chilliwack/Vedder River.

Find a bench to take in the beautiful views and watch the fishermen attempting to catch the elusive Steelhead (did you know Steelhead are born in this river, head out to the ocean and come back to spawn only to head back out to the ocean again?!); or people watch as people walk their pets, stroll, bike or run down the trail. It’s a perfect way to spend some time with your special someone.

You are invited to Creative Third Thursdays + Christmas Cheer
on December 19, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.

Cliff Prang is a professional actor, comedian, writer and producer. It has been said that he looks like a young George Clooney, but more like Johnny Knoxville. It is not lost on him that people think he is a JACKASS. He has been in love with making people laugh since birth and has a full menu of comedy options including stand up, improv, speaking, emceeing, and auctioneering and delivers those services to a broad spectrum of audiences at bars, clubs, schools, churches, fundraisers, corporate events, Zoom and even once at a funeral.

Cliff's commercials can be seen on pretty much every network. He has also played roles on SuperGirl, Supernatural, Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce, the INBETWEEN and most recently ALASKA DAILY alongside two-time Oscar Winner, Hilary Swank.

As a comic, he has shared the stage with Deborah DiGiovanni, SNL's Chris Kattan, and the late great Canadian Legend, Mike MacDonald. Reader's Digest lauds him as one of Canada's 50 Comedians to watch, but his parents still don’t think he is that funny.

People have asked him, “Out of all that you do, which is your favourite?”

The answer is “All of it... How dare you question me."

Who's this for?

Would you describe yourself as a creative entrepreneur, freelancer, filmmaker, media specialist, software engineer, marketer, animator, technologist, commercial photographer, videographer, designer, writer, maker, web developer or inventor? Or maybe you just like hanging out with other creative types? Then, this is for you!

Creative Third Thursdays is a creative networking event series brought to you by the Chilliwack Creative Commission and Cowork Chilliwack.

Sexy Laundry - Chilliwack Cultural Centre

Sexy Laundry - Chilliwack Cultural Centre

Get ready to laugh, blush, and relate with the Arts Club’s Sexy Laundry!

Delight in the revival of an Arts Club favourite with the sidesplittingly funny Sexy Laundry! On November 5, you can witness the hilarious and heartwarming performance that will inspire you to embrace love in all its messy, funny and beautiful glory! This sharp and playful play, written by Canadian Michele Riml, will leave you laughing and reflecting on the ups and downs of long-term relationships.

In Sexy Laundry, Alice and Henry are coming to grips with their lacklustre sex life. Time, kids, and stress—not to mention gravity—have taken their toll. In an effort to rekindle the magic in their twenty-five-year marriage, they go on a naughty hotel retreat, equipped with a copy of Sex for Dummies. But they soon find that when the clothes come off, so do the gloves.

“Sexy Laundry is a life-affirming romcom! It is very funny because it rings very true. People see themselves in Alice and Henry’s struggle to fall back in love,” says Director Diana Donnelly. “The play looks at the midlife reckoning, at how society values us differently as we age, but most of all Sexy Laundry is about the joy of long love—despite everything. If Alice and Henry can reconnect, we all can.”

Audiences can expect an evening full of laughter, wit, and a surprising amount of tenderness as Alice and Henry work through the trials and triumphs of long-term love. Sexy Laundry is the perfect night out for couples, friends, or anyone who enjoys a good laugh and a touching story about the complexities of relationships.

“This insightful and humourous piece is one that has resonated with our audiences and those around the world, and for very good reason,” explains The Arts Club’s Artistic Director Ashlie Corcoran. “When acted with a beautiful balance of comedy with a real depth of intimacy, Diana and I both believe that this piece will speak to an audience in a way that feels very personal and very funny.”

You will find yourself laughing at the awkward moments, sympathizing with the struggles, and cheering for the couple as they rediscover each other.

Sexy Laundry is coming to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on November 5, 2024 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $49, with Patron Program discounts available, and can be purchased at the Centre Box Office, online at chilliwackculturalcentre.ca, or by calling 604-391-SHOW(7469).

Very Very Improv - Chilliwack 2024-25

Very Very Improv - Chilliwack 2024-25

After a wildly successful debut season, Very Very Improv is back and ready to keep The Valley laughing with talented new improvisers joining the loveable cast to bring more city-quality comedy to the ‘burbs. 

“Life in the suburbs doesn’t need to be dry and dull”, says Very Very Improv’s Managing Artistic Director Scott Campbell. “We’re giving people a reason to get off their couch on a Saturday night.” 

Campbell says, “Vancouver can feel like a long way to drive for professional performing arts experiences and Langley’s lack of appropriately funded performing arts venues only makes the problems worse. Very Very Improv is an oasis of fun for anyone who needs a good laugh.” 

Returning to the VVI cast are Chilliwack’s Cliff Prang and Josh Wilson, Langley’s Dimitri Shields, Cloverdale’s Lucy Darlington, Vancouver’s Mike deBoer and Deb Sears, and North Vancouver’s Delaney Gilmor. 

Joining the cast are Maple Ridge’s Graham Myers, Russ Brummer, and Mikaela Myers, and Abbotsford’s Alison Chisholm.  

“Comedy improv won’t solve all the world’s problems, but it can spark a little joy and remind us that we’re all in this together.”

Very Very Improv is offering a full season of improv shows at The Bez Arts Hub including Monthly Mainstage on the last Saturday of each month starting in September; Holiday Fishbowl Challenge on December 27 and 28, 2024; and Very Very Valentines on February 15, 2024. The company also produces regular shows at the Cowork Chilliwack Studio and will be headlining Abbotsford’s Gallery7 Theatre’s annual comedy festival in October 2024. The company also offers improv training and is available to book for private events.  

Tickets for all performances are on sale now and available online at veryveryimporv.ca/tickets

Join the fun! You’ll laugh lots.

4️⃣ Keep a tick key/tool in your first aid kit for easy removal.
5️⃣ Stick to the center of trails to avoid brushing against vegetation where ticks may be.
6️⃣ Keep your dogs on leash, and off the tall grass/brush on the shoulders of the trail.
