Paramount Alley in Downtown Chilliwack is Now Open! November 7, 2024

Chilliwack, BC: The City of Chilliwack is excited to announce the official opening of a new downtown breezeway called Paramount Alley. The 370 square metre public gathering space extends from Yale Road to the Victoria Avenue Parking Lot. 

Paramount Alley is home to the replica marquee P sign, located at the Yale entrance, inspired by the Paramount Theatre sign that was a part of Downtown Chilliwack’s landscape for over 60 years. The sign also serves as a pedestrian way finder for parking on Victoria Avenue. Paramount Alley is home to chess tables for a friendly game and features a food truck pad for local food trucks to share their cuisine. Residents will find easy-to-use bike lockers to keep their wheels safe while enjoying nearby amenities.

“We are excited to see the continued improvement of accessibility to our downtown core,” says Mayor Popove. “The P sign is a great piece of nostalgia for those who grew up with the Paramount Theatre. I look forward to seeing the hustle and bustle of downtown spill into Paramount Alley.”
