The Cheam Range (pronounced ʃiːæm or ʃiːɛm ) is a mountain range in the region Fraser Valley in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia near the cities of Chilliwack and Vancouver . The range is part of the Skagit Range in the Canadian Cascades and includes several rugged peaks.

The western peaks of the chain - Cheam Peak, Lady Peak, Baby Munday Peak, and Stewart Peak - are well known as the "Four Sisters" in the Fraser Valley area from where they can be seen. The eastern peaks are also known as the "Lucky Four Group" because of their proximity to the abandoned Lucky Four Mine; the glacier in the Kartal formed by Welch and Foley Peak is called the Lucky Four Glacier. Foley, Welch and Stewart Peak commemorate the partners of the company of the same name ( Foley, Welch and Stewart ), a major construction company in early British Columbia, which was responsible for the construction of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway and other projects.

The highest point of the chain is Welch Peak.
