What’s Happening in Chilliwack | May 2024 Events Roundup!

Hello Chilliwack newcomers and locals alike! Ever wondered what kind of activities those charming country folk dive into each month? I’m here to lift the curtain on the bustling social scene of Chilliwack, BC with a special focus on the events lighting up the calendar this May. From golf nights to gem shows and everything in between, Chilliwack is buzzing with excitement, and you’re invited to join the fun!

The Star Attraction: Putt-Putt Party Night for Mental Health

Kicking off our social calendar is the unique and heartwarming Putt-Putt Party Night. Hosted on the sprawling greens of the Cultus Lake Golf Club, this event isn’t just about sinking putts but also aims to uplift minds. The night is a creative collaboration with Promentality, a local initiative focused on mental wellness.

During a candid interview with Jennifer Diot from Promentality, she shared insights into the upcoming event, which shines as their first-ever fundraiser:

“We’re thrilled to launch our first event here at such a scenic venue. We aim to bring people together not only for fun but to foster awareness about our mental health services, which are crucial for our community.”

This family-friendly evening promises an inclusive atmosphere where both young ones and the elderly can enjoy the easy-going challenge of mini-golf, which means nobody has to miss out on the fun!

“You don’t have to be a golf pro to enjoy the putt-putt party! It’s all about having fun and contributing to a good cause.”

More Than Just Making Par

Engaging in a broader conversation with Jennifer, we delved into the essence of Promentality and their mission in Chilliwack. With a diverse team of registered clinical counselors and interns, they extend beyond the conventional to include sports psychology and nutrition coaching. Their proactive approach in community engagement is evident as they’ve committed to providing over $100,000 in pro bono counseling services annually.

Jennifer, a resident of nearby Sun Peak, maintains a deep connection with the Fraser Valley community. By choosing Cultus Lake Golf Club, they found the perfect partner, marrying convenience with scenic beauty — a decision highlighted during her delightful site scouting adventures.

A Night Under the Stars

What sets this putt-putt event apart? It’s scheduled as an evening event, adding a layer of mystique and novelty as players navigate the course under the glimmer of night lights:

“Holding the event in the evening, with lights dotting the course, adds a whimsical charm that we believe will enhance the experience and make it memorable.”

Key Event Details:

• Date: May 25, 2024

With community at its heart, the event is a rallying call to support mental health awareness while indulging in an enjoyable and laid-back sport. Tickets and more information can be found on Promentality’s official website.
