The Chilliwack Coliseum formerly known as Prospera Centre is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada, built in 2004. It is the home of the Chilliwack Chiefs of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) after the Quesnel Millionaires were moved from Quesnel, British Columbia for the start of the 2011–12 BCHL season. It was the home of the Chilliwack Bruins of the Western Hockey League from 2006 to 2011 and of the previous incarnation of the Chilliwack Chiefs of the BCHL from 2004 to 2006 as it replaced the former Chilliwack Coliseum in 2004. It has also hosted other events, including concerts, ice shows, trade shows, and conventions. It is home to the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame. Before the Abbotsford Centre was completed in 2009, the then named Prospera Centre was the dominant concert venue in the Fraser Valley.

In February 2019, Prospera Credit union made it known they would be ceasing their sponsorship of the arena.

In September of 2019, the Chiefs development group announced that the facility was renamed The Chilliwack Coliseum. This was part of a 5 year agreement between the CDG and the City of Chilliwack.[1]
