Chilliwack RCMP responded to a late-morning incident at a Cultus Lake water park on June 15, 2026, where multiple individuals sustained injuries. 

On June 15, 2026, at approximately 11:20 a.m., Chilliwack RCMP responded to a report of multiple injuries at a water park in Cultus Lake. Paramedics and other first responders attended the scene, providing medical care to twelve individuals. All injured persons were transported to hospital for further assessment and treatment. The nature of the injuries are reported to be serious but not life threatening.

As part of the emergency response, Columbia Valley Highway was temporarily closed in both directions to allow emergency personnel access to the area and to support patient care and transport.

“Our priority from the outset has been the safety and well-being of those involved. This appears to be an isolated incident, and there is no ongoing risk to the public.” said Cpl. Carmen Kiener of the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP. “First responders acted quickly to secure the area, provide care, and ensure all individuals received the medical attention they required. We are grateful for the various agencies that attended this incident to assist all of those affected.”

The investigation remains ongoing to determine the cause of the incident. Chilliwack RCMP is working with WorkSafeBC who has taken over conduct of the investigation. At this time, there is no indication that the event was caused by a person, and investigators do not believe it to be the result of deliberate human action.
