Sx̱ótsaqel/Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park in British Columbia spans about 9,258 hectares around Chilliwack Lake in a glacial valley east of Vancouver, with old-growth forest rising to sub-alpine and alpine ridges. Long before the park was created, an Indigenous trail connected nine villages here, and in 1855 the Hudson’s Bay Company improved that route. The valley later became a logging district, shifting from railroad logging in the 1920s to truck logging after a 1938 fire destroyed the railway. Created in 1973 and enlarged in later years, the park was renamed in 2021; Sx̱ótsaqel means “sacred lake” in Halkomelem, reflecting its place in the ancestral homeland of the Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe.
