SKYNEST DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
FROM THE BLOG
______________
It’s been a busy year here in Chilliwack, and there’s so much more to come in 2024. We can’t wait to tell you what we’ve got planned! As you settle in to enjoy the holidays with your loved ones, we wanted to take a look back at 2023 at Canadian Retirement Developments with you:
Skynest Phase 2
The second phase of our beautiful Skynest development at the corner of Watson and Vedder was completed, ready for residents to move in during the summer…and move in they did! We have many happy new homeowners now living their best lives in their brand new, stunning condos.
There’s still some inventory available (click the "Residencies" tab in our navigation bar above, and select Phase 2), and our fantastic show homeis also for sale, so contact us now for more details on how you can join our happy and growing community!
Golf Tournament
Our annual Golf Tournament took place back in July at Cultus Lake Golf Club. It was a great opportunity for residents of Canadian Retirement Developments properties to come together and enjoy a great day of golf, prizes, and getting to know other homeowners, in the most fantastic setting possible.
It was an incredible day - the weather co-operated and it was sunny and warm all day.
We had a great turnout of residents from our properties in Chilliwack/Sardis: Skynest and Malloway Village, Englewood Courtyard and Englewood Village. With 45 people playing and almost 70 in attendance for the post-tourney dinner, the whole event showcased what a fantastic set of communities we are building with incredible people and amazing spirit. We couldn’t be more proud of our homeowners!
Thank you to Mark Perry and Andrew MacDonald for putting on the event again this year. Everything went perfectly, thanks to the organizational skills of our own Harry Doupe and Roger Jennings!
A HUGE thank you to our amazing sponsors who ensured no team went home empty-handed:

New Show Home Incoming at Malloway Village
Due to the sale of our previous show home, the sales office at Malloway Village moved into the Gate House a couple of months ago. A new show home will be up and running in 2024 to showcase the remaining Malloway Village inventory.
We’re excited to tell you about it in the next few weeks, and show you photos when it’s ready to go!
Our sales offices will be closed from December 22nd, reopening Jan 6, 2024.

Wishing you all a very Happy Holiday Season, and a Happy New Year!
from The Team at Canadian Retirement Developments!
There are so many places to get awesome food in Sardis, that you don’t need to go far to experience great eats just a few minutes away from Skynest.
As well as quick solutions for lunch or dinner, there are a number of restaurants on Vedder Road alone, that serve up food from around the world (or closer to home) so you have an incredible variety of places to go with friends or family, or with your new Skynest neighbours!
We’ve made a list of just a small selection of local eateries that have received great reviews online - decide what type of food you want to eat, and grab your coat!
Frankies Italian
7350 Vedder Rd
Frankie’s Italian is a local staple, and has been serving up great Italian dishes for years. Open for lunch or dinner, this a fantastic location for family get-togethers, a romantic dinner, or even dinner for one, because the staff will take such good care of you!
As well as a kids menu and more family-friendly dishes, you can enjoy their beef carpaccio and sauteed garlic prawns as part of your sumptuous dinner!
Coconut Thai
#6 - 7355 Vedder Rd
Coconut Thai is one of those gems that serve up delicious food in an unassuming location you might sometimes overlook. The reviews say it all - this is an authentic menu that covers a wealth of Thai cuisine: red curry, soup, pad thai - and it does it really well!
Opening at 10:30am daily, this place is ready to make lunch and dinner for you, and it’s located right across Vedder Road from Frankie’s Italian!
Butter Chicken House
5669 Vedder Rd
If it’s Indian food you’re craving, look no further than Butter Chicken House, right beside the Royal Canadian Legion. Open seven days a week, this restaurant offers a breakfast menu (it’s open at 11am Monday to Saturday, and Sunday from noon), but at dinner time, you can expect more traditional Indian fare, including of course - BUTTER CHICKEN!
You can also get Butter Chicken House food in the comfort of your Skynest home - order ahead to pick up, or go to the food apps to get it delivered right to your door.
Jolly Miller Pub
5865 Vedder Rd
The Jolly Miller is an institution, and for lunch or dinner, you’ll find locals and others alike enjoying this cozy pub atmosphere, with a great range of delicious food to accompany your pint/wine/soft drink.
While you can find traditional burgers and pizzas on the menu, there are also quesadillas, brunch, tacos, pierogies and more - as well as a turkey dinner around the festive period!
The Jolly Miller is a great place to socialize and meet new people as well, with themed nights and special offers on food and drink, depending on the day of the week.
This amazing home could be yours - and it’s move-in ready! Complete with high-end designer finishes, bright, airy rooms drenched in natural light, top-of-the-line appliances and tons of space, this two-bed, two-bath ground-level condo also has a private wraparound patio, the perfect spot to unwind or entertain.
But it's not just the suite that's exceptional; it's the location. Skynest is perfectly positioned near an array of amenities within just a couple of minutes walking distance, including stores, restaurants, medical offices, and a post office, making daily life convenient and hassle-free.
What truly sets Skynest apart is the sense of community it fosters. Purpose-built with your future in mind, Skynest promises not just a home, but a place where you belong. As well as community-focussed events and gatherings, you’ll be able to host or mingle with your friends, family and new neighbours on our incredible rooftop patio, complete with firebowls and a full outdoor kitchen.
Don't miss out on this unique opportunity. To explore this suite in person, or any of our available inventory in Phase 1 or 2, our sales staff is hosting open houses on weekends from 12-3.
Can’t make it on the weekends? Call Tracey at 604-362-1505 for your private tour.

As the leaves begin to change colour, and the breeze carries hints of the upcoming winter season, it’s the time of year when Chilliwack’s harvest seems solely focussed on one vegetable: CORN.
With corn stands and mazes, you can’t avoid corn in the valley at this time of year, and for good reason. Chilliwack’s lush agricultural land gives it the most perfect soil to grow the most delicious corn in the country. While the region boasts of a myriad harvest of fruits and vegetables year-round, its pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the sweet corn to herald the end of summer and the start of fall. There's a certain magic in the air when corn season is at its peak in Chilliwack. Locals and visitors alike throng the roadside stands, and grocery stores throughout the Lower Mainland stock towering boxes of corn for weeks, as people plan the last of their fair-weather barbecues.
But it’s clear that summer 2023 has gone now, and as we gear up to embrace fall, our culinary instincts lean towards cozy, comfort foods. We’ve put together a delicious recipe that fits the bill when it comes to making the most of Chilliwack’s arguably most famous crop. Be sure to try this yummy corn chowder before the season ends!
Sweetcorn Chowder with Smoked Paprika
Ingredients:
- 4 ears of fresh Chilliwack corn, husked and kernels removed
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preparation: Start by prepping your veggies. Using a sharp knife, stand each corn cob upright on a cutting board and slice down its length, removing the kernels. Set aside.
- Sauté: In a large pot, melt the butter or heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Corn & Potatoes: Add the corn kernels and diced potatoes to the pot. Stir well, letting the flavors mingle for about 5 minutes.
- Broth & Simmer: Pour in the broth, ensuring that the vegetables are submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Blend: Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree half the soup, giving it a creamy texture while still retaining some chunks. If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer half of the soup to a regular blender, blend until smooth, and then return it to the pot.
- Season & Finish: Add the heavy cream or milk, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. If the soup is too thick, add a bit more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve & Garnish: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley. A sprinkle of extra smoked paprika on top adds an extra punch!
