Held annually, the City-Wide Free Swap Event in Chilliwack aims to give new life to gently used items and foster community exchange while significantly reducing waste destined for the landfill. The event takes place on Saturday, September 26, at Evergreen Hall.

To participate, residents bring their clean, gently used, and unstained items to check-in stations, where they receive swap tickets. These tickets can then be exchanged for other items displayed at the event. Acceptable donations include clothing (with a limit of two standard grocery bag-sized donations plus up to two additional items per household), shoes, books, kitchenware, seasonal goods, sporting goods, and toys. Items such as bedding, food, weapons, furniture, TVs, appliances, and personal care products are not accepted. Staff are available to assist participants, including providing more tickets if needed or collecting unused ones.
