CEC is a non-profit society run primarily by volunteers.

Our mission is to provide adults 50 years and better with education and learning opportunities that expand their knowledge and enrich their lives.

A simple, affordable, annual membership fee helps keep CEC alive and thriving.

CEC membership must be purchased annually as it expires every December 31. 

Membership is not pro-rated (ie cost does not go down to $7.50 if you purchase your membership in June).

The first step is to check out our video tutorials page.  The tutorials are easy to use and provide step-by-step instructions. 

You can pause any video during each step while you take the necessary actions.

If purchasing online doesn’t suite your style, you can always call us or stop by during office hours.

CEC Membership is required in order to Register for any classes or courses put on by Chilliwack ElderCollege.

You are all at the heart of what we strive to accomplish each semester: ease senior isolation, encourage active peer-to-peer and intergenerational learning, and support healthy aging.
