Re: Crime in your area
This is interesting to read, I arrive in four weeks and read this today which I was surprised at as I thought Chilliwack and surrounding was pretty safe?

It may open your eyes. No where in greater vancouver is free of gang-related violence. On the other hand, there's no need for paranoia either, but no, Chilliwack is not free from this any more than any other place.

Re: Crime in your area
ive lived in brockley se london next to new cross and deptford..also lived in west london and essex...i now live in Edmonton..and i have never been a victim of crime (touch wood).
interestingly the numbers murdered each year in Canada & UK are similar but the population of the UK is much higher.

Crime's everywhere, isn't it?
I live in what I suppose is a relatively affluent neighbourhood, 25 minutes drive out of town, 5 acre plots and pretty scenery. There's a lawyer next door, a senior city administrator across the street, exec for CN Rail 3 doors down, and next to him a house that last year was found with meth amphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, automatic weapons, an anti tank missile launcher, and 4 stolen vehicles in the workshop. Who knew?
Recently there's been a spate of petty crime - compressors and tools stolen from garages, opportunistic stuff. I've never experienced anything directly myself, but really, crime's impossible to get away from entirely.
