Health transfer brings vision to life, says grand chief
■ W ORKING O N T HE R AILWAY
Historic agreement creates First Nations Health Authority Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Grand Chief Doug Kelly of Chilliwack joined federal and provincial health ministers at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver Monday morning for a historymaking celebration. They were formally recognizing the transfer of aboriginal health service delivery responsibility to a new aboriginal led entity in B.C. Health programs and services formerly administered by Health Canada are now the responsibility of First Nations Health Authority, according to a new framework agreement signed by the three parties. “Now is the time for B.C. First Nations to take our rightful place, determining our own health outcomes and what wellness means to us,” said Grand Chief Kelly, who is chair of the First Nations Health Council. The First Nations Health Authority will deliver health programs and services in B.C. to aboriginals living on-reserve and off. It’s everything from primary care to mental health and addictions as well as environmental health and research, and they’ll be partnering with the province as well. The idea is to close gaps in health services with new partnerships, close collaboration and innovation through coordination. It took years of collaboration to achieve, the grand chief told The Progress recently. “I would like to commend our federal, provincial, health authority, and other partners on the Continued: HEALTH/ p14

Rescuers stream into Chilliwack for SARscene Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Organizing and hosting SARscene 2013 was a first for Chilliwack Search and Rescue members. (See photos, page 12.) It was a national SAR conference held in Chilliwack over the weekend, co-hosted with B.C. Search and Rescue Association, that saw more than 400 attendees streaming into town. Members of the public took in a mock rescue demonstration using long-line techniques
with a Bell 407 helicopter, and a canine display that involved a Chilliwack SAR member. Some of the local rescue vehicles and boats were also rolled out as part of a massive static display open to the public on Saturday, but not all of them, of course. “It was important for us to still have response capability during the conference,” said search manager Doug Fraser of Chilliwack Search and Rescue. The local SAR team has actually been quite busy this month
with several callouts. “Normally October starts to slow down but it’s been steady, probably due to the good weather,” he said. SARscene 2013 was held at the RCMP Pacific Region Training Centre (PRTC) with attendees taking in workshops, discussion panels, SAR games, and an awards banquet. “It was a great venue for it with ever ything we needed,” Fraser said. Of the 41 Chilliwack SAR members, about half were active-
ly involved in some way in putting on the event. “It was a fair amount of work,” he said, adding that national conference organization was a first for the local SAR team to his knowledge. A friendly competition was waged during the SAR Games that were held near the display area, but local volunteers were too busy with organizational tasks to compete, Fraser said. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Council decides crosswalks should stay put for now Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The idea would have stopped traffic at intersections along busy north-south corridors in Chilliwack and made it safer for pedestrians to cross multiple lanes. The recommendation called for upgrading of several crosswalks to full-stop pedestrian lights, on Vedder Road at Storey Avenue and at Wells Road, and also along Evans Road at Wells and Commercial Court. But instead the matter was
referred back to staff by council at last Tuesday’s council meeting. Mayor Sharon Gaetz was opposed to the idea sending it back to the drawing board, saying council had all the information it needed to make the decision, and that complaints had come in from residents who use the “treacherous” crosswalks. “We’ve had some pretty close misses” at a couple of the locations being proposed for safety upgrades, Mayor Gaetz noted during the discussion. “Parents have been asking for
something to offset the danger,” Gaetz added, speaking about the dangers posed by the crosswalk in front of the old Foresters’ Hall, particularly at night. A consultant’s report informed council that full-stop signals were not technically warranted since the current level of control was considered sufficient. The budget for a full-stop pedestrian signal, which is funded by DCCs, would be in the range of $65,000 to $85,000 each, up to more than $125,000 at the top end, estimated Rod Sanderson, manag-
er of transportation and drainage for the City of Chilliwack, at the Tuesday meeting. One of the options discussed, the ‘rapid rectangular flashing beacon,’ is not actually approved for use in Canada, said Sanderson, and is only being tested on a trial basis in some locations. A few council members raised concerns about the impacts to through traffic if council went ahead with the full-stop pedestrian signals. “I’m wondering if it would be prudent to look at the impact on

traffic on Vedder,” said Coun. Jason Lum. Coun. Ken Huttema said he agreed with Coun. Lum and favoured something that would not interrupt traffic flow like a full-stop light signal. The mayor noted later that since there were enough remaining questions around the council table, it warranted a “second sober look” by staff at what could be done. The motion to defer the matter back to staff was unanimous. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Kent council debates med-pot zoning Jessica Peters Black Press A zoning change that would specify where medical marijuana could be grown in the District of Kent sparked a debate among councillors last Tuesday night, and ended in a divided vote. In the end, bylaw 1501 was adopted, setting out specific rules for medical marijuana growers who would want to grow here by creating a special industrial zone. However, Councillors Duane Post and Holger Schwichtenberg voted against the third reading and adoption. Both asserted that the issue should be discussed by the Kent Agricultural Advisory Committee before coming up for adoption. They both stated that it was an
agricultural issue, and Schwichtenberg argued that council should not “make unilateral decisions” on what is and isn’t presented to the KAAC. He said he wasn’t voting against it because he doesn’t agree with it, just that he doesn’t agree with it not being sent to the KAAC. Both Schwichtenberg and Post sit on the KAAC. If that committee were to discuss the bylaw and present a report to council, it would only be in an advisory role. Mayor John Van Laerhoven pressed ahead with the bylaw, with the support of Councillors Lorne Fisher and Darcy Striker. “We need to act now in the best interest of the community,” Van Laerhoven said. “It will ultimately go back to council and we’ll make the decision then, or

we can do it now. There are enough good reasons to create a special industrial zone. We need to protect our citizens and the future of the community.” The Marihuana Medical Access Regulations will be repealed in March, 2014. This month, Health Canada stops accepting applications for new personal and designated production licences. Next April, all personal medical marijuana operations will be considered illegal. The only legal means will be through an authorized licensed producer. Communities are scrambling to come up with bylaws to enforce where the ensuing “Walmart-sized” grow ops will be set up, said Darcey Kohuch, Kent’s planning and development services manager.

Chilliwack will honour its military roots with a special parade through downtown Chilliwack this Saturday. The event will recognize army units that have had historic ties to the community, and remain important parts of the local landscape. On Oct. 26 the City of Chilliwack will honour the 39 Combat Engineer Regiment, The Royal Westminster Regiment, and the 39 Service Battalion with the “Freedom of the City.” The event will feature a parade down Spadina Avenue and a special ceremony at the cenotaph, beginning at 1 p.m. The Freedom of the City is an historic honour dating back to ancient Rome. At that time the “pomerium”, the boundary of the city, was regarded as sacred. Promagistrates and generals were forbidden to enter the city and resigned their imperium immediately when they crossed the city boundary. An exception was made for victory celebrations, during which the victorious general would be allowed to enter the city for one day only. The carrying of weapons by soldiers was also banned inside the pomerium for traditional religious reasons. Similar laws were passed by European cities during the Middle Ages to ensure public safety and civic rights against drunkenness and looting by their own king’s soldiers. The Freedom of the City was an honour granted only to military units which had earned the trust of the local citizens.
Today, the Freedom of the City is a ceremonial honour bestowed upon a military unit having historical ties to the community as a token of appreciation for their long and dedicated service. Having received the honour, the unit will customarily “exercise the Freedom by marching through the city with drums beating, colours flying and bayonets fixed.” The presence of military engineers in Chilliwack began in 1941 when Camp Chilliwack was opened at Vedder Crossing. The 39 Combat Engineer Regiment has regimental headquarters, administration squadron and 54 Engineer Squadron located at the Chilliwack Armoury. The Royal Westminster Regiment has the longest connection with Chilliwack going back to 1910 when D Company of the 104th Regiment Westminster Fusiliers of Canada was raised here. Their Armoury, built in 1913, is still a city landmark on Princess Street. Many Chilliwack volunteers served overseas with the Westminster Regiment during both world wars. The Westminster Regiment remained in Chilliwack until the 1960s when, due to army reorganization, D Company was closed. In 1967, Queen Elizabeth bestowed the honour “Royal” upon the Regiment which became The Royal Westminster Regiment. On April 1, 2013 the Regiment returned to reestablish D Company at the Chilliwack Armoury.

November Gala rekindles the glitz The Progress Chilliwack Hospice’s gala event has undergone a massive makeover. Once the event of the year for Chilliwack, the November Night Gala had grown a little stale in the last couple years. It needed a new face. Joldee Hayes, event organizer, is sure this year’s event, on Nov. 2, will bring November Night back to its previous sparkle. Or better. “It’s going to be an awesome event,” said Hayes. “I’m super excited for it.” It hasn’t been easy. In years past, the gala had taken nearly a full year of planning and organizing to pull off. But Hayes only came into the mix in August, filling a position that had been vacant for months. “My first four to five weeks was solely focused on sponsorship because we had none,” Hayes said. “It hasn’t been an easy feat. Basically, I hit the ground running.” This year’s gala will be held at the new Squiala Hall on Squiala Road. The road will be lit up by a row of football play-

It’s going to be an awesome event ~ Joldee Hayes
ers, from the G.W. Graham Grizzlies squad, lighting the path with lanterns to the “winter wonderland” inside the hall. “My thought, when we were deciding on a theme, was to have a Quebec Winter Carnival feel,” said Hayes. There’s going to be snow, bright lights, bright colours, and circus style acrobatics performed by Blink Acrobatics. There’s going to be a live auction, a silent auction, and a raffle too. And the evening’s meal will be courtesy of Restaurant 62, a fine dining establishment in Abbotsford. What there won’t be is a dance. “Not too many people dance anymore it seems,” said Hayes. “Last year, the band only played for a half an hour
and that was it, there were not enough people to warrant them staying and they packed it in. It was felt that the band would start and people would basically leave. The music was too loud, people couldn’t talk, they wanted to socialize.” And so, instead, they’ll be filling that vacancy with loads more entertainment, some of which Hayes said had to stay top secret until the doors of the evening open. “It’s going to be quite lively,” she said. November Night is the Chilliwack Hospice Society’s top fundraiser of the year, with funds going towards programs, like grief counseling, that aren’t typically government funded. “It’s an amazing charity to support,” said Hayes. “The one thing in life that’s inevi-
table is death. It’s going to touch and impact people at some point in their lives.” Another new element this year is the raffle. Anyone who purchases a ticket is not required to attend the event. Raffle prizes include a total bedroom makeover, worth over $8,000; a return flight for two from Vancouver to Victoria with Helijet valued at $1,000; and a one-night stay in the Lakeview guest room at Harrison Hot Springs, including a dinner in The Copper Room, breakfast and a couple’s massage, valued at $500. Raffle tickets are being sold until Oct. 30 at the Hospice Society on Hodgins Ave., Thrifty Boutique on Luckakuck Way, and the Bedroom Galler y on Wellington Ave. for $20 each or three for $50. The draw will take place at the gala at 10 p.m. The gala is on Nov. 2 at 6 p.m.. Tickets are $150, also sold at the Hospice Society and Thrifty Boutique.

New steps urged to curb problem gambling in B.C. Jeff Nagel Black Press
Sat. Oct. 26 from 2-4pm
B.C. does too little to fight problem gambling and should consider new steps, from making it harder to get alcohol and cash in casinos to removing the most addictive high-risk slot machines. Those recommendations come from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perr y Kendall, who tackled the health impacts of gambling Wednesday with the release of his annual report titled “Lower the Stakes.” Chief among the findings is that B.C. underspends other provinces in prevention and treatment for problem gambling – it invests about half the national average on a per capita basis. Liquor access is one area of risk the province could tighten, Kendall said, perhaps through reduced hours of alcohol service at casinos or

by raising drink prices. He said gambling delivers endorphins that stimulate pleasure centres of the brain. “If you also have alcohol and add that to the mix and you’ve got an ATM there with an unlimited cash amount, you’ve definitely got a scenario where people are going to behave less and less responsibly.” Banning ATMs or requiring players to set an advance limit on what they might spend is another idea

advanced in the report. It also zeroes in on high-risk electronic gaming machines – the slots designed by manufacturers to generate the most compulsive behaviour. Kendall suggested they be replaced with lower risk models and urged the province to post the risk rating on each machine so gamblers could choose a lower risk option. Gerald Thomas of the Centre for Addictions Research, a co-author of the report, said the province has high, medium and low risk ratings for all of the slot machines in B.C. casinos and should disclose how many it has of each. Kendall noted government is in a conflict of interest because it relies heavily on gambling profits but is also responsible for protecting vulnerable citizens. “This is a public health issue,” he said, adding the time may be right for a “fulsome discussion on the benefits and the risks” of gambling in light of rejections of new casinos over the past two years by Surrey and Vancouver. Any new decisions to expand gambling should come with an assessment of the risk to problem gamblers and be contingent on reducing the overall share of revenue extracted from them, the report recommends. There’s been no detailed study of problem gambling in B.C. in several years but new research is slated for next year. According to 2007 statistics, 3.7 per cent of B.C. residents are at “moderate risk” and 0.9 per cent are classified as problem gamblers. Kendall noted the two groups account for 26 per cent of total gam-
bling revenue despite making up less than five per cent of the population. There are 160,000 gamblers in the two risky groups but only 4,000 calls per year to a problem gambling helpline, suggesting the number of people who could be helped is “much higher.” Kendall argues the B.C. Lotter y Corp. could do more to identify problem gamblers – possibly using data on their gambling gathered through a loyalty card program – and then dispatching staff to attempt treatment interventions. The report calls on the province to devote at least 1.5 per cent of gambling revenue to problem gambling initiatives, tripling the current outlay. It also urges school classes to warn children of the dangers of gambling, focusing on students in grades 10 to 12. Provincial gambling revenue per capita climbed 56 per cent over the last decade from $353 per person in 2002 to $552 by 2011. The $2.1-billion a year industry delivers nearly $900 million in net profits to government. B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said in a statement the province this year increased its Responsible Gambling program budget by 30 per cent. “We take the social costs of gambling seriously,” he said, adding the province and BCLC will provide $11 million for responsible gambling this year. De Jong said the province is committed to continually improving but will review the performance of its current programs before considering any more spending.

The provincial executive of the NDP has proposed May 25, 2014 for a leadership vote to select a replacement for Adrian Dix. The party executive picked the date, almost exactly three years before the next scheduled B.C. election, to avoid municipal elections set for next fall and a federal election expected in 2015. That is to make it more practical for municipal politicians and MPs to consider whether they want to jump to provincial politics. Dix announced in September he would stay on as leader until a successor is chosen, and at the time he said that would take place before the middle of next year. The May vote was picked after discussions with the party’s current MLAs and local constituency presidents, but it still must be approved by the NDP provincial council. No candidate has formally announced, but several are considering a run. They include veteran Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth,

“Do we want 100,000 square foot grow ops on our agricultural land?” Kohuch asked, somewhat rhetorically. “Because that’s what these are. These are Walmarts, and who wants to live beside that.” With a special zone set aside for grow ops, growers will have a building process to go through that would include public hearings. Chilliwack and Abbotsford have set up bylaws already, Kohuch stated, pushing Valley growers to further reaches such as Agassiz. Under the new regulation, no marijuana production will be allowed in residential homes. However, the policing will be left up to municipalities.

Brian Minter and his family are poised to enter a whole new chapter in their lives in the wake of the closure last Monday of the wellloved Minter Gardens. The Minter Gardens parking lot was jampacked on the last day of operations at the 32-acre show gardens in Rosedale. “We haven’t done the gate receipts yet but in terms of the numbers, it was full,” said Minter. In fact it was the busiest day they’d had all season. In June, Minter announced that declining tourism and climate change were factors in the decision to close the gardens in October and to sell the property. Minter shared with The Progress that the final day in the gardens attracted a mix of those who had never been

Last week’s BC Shakeout offered residents another reminder of the importance of emergency planning. The premise for the annual drill is an earthquake, but the lessons don’t end there. They underline the need for a planned response to any crisis or emergency. This year’s event, part of a nationwide earthquake drill, drew nearly 700,000 participants in B.C. (including staff from the Chilliwack Progress). At precisely 10:17 Thursday morning, participants “ducked, covered and hung on” in a simulation of proper earthquake response. If participation was high in this province, it’s because the West Coast is a likely candidate for a major earthquake. Experts agree it’s not a question of if, but when. Indeed, in the past 70 years there have been more than 100 earthquakes off the coast of Vancouver Island that had a magnitude of five or greater. Being prepared for a major quake is not only prudent, it’s proactive. Last week’s drill not only emphasized how to react when an earthquake strikes, but also what to do when the ground stops shaking. And that’s perhaps the most important lesson: An effective response means proper planning for the 72 hours following a major incident, regardless of what kind. Major earthquakes are thankfully rare here, as are tornadoes, hurricanes and other natural disasters. But emergency planning doesn’t have to anticipate a crisis of that scale. Even more minor events, like the substation fire that left half the city without power for 12 hours, are made better by a little planning. That’s not all. Wind storms that knock out power, snowstorms that close roads or rain storms that create localized flooding all provide reasons to pack an emergency preparedness kit and have it standing by. It’s a simple process, and there are ample resources to help show what you and your family will need to cope in the critical 72 hours following an incident of any kind. The bottom line is that you’re mother was right: It’s better to be safe, than sorry. To learn more, go to www.shakeoutbc.ca/, or www.GetPrepared.ca

Canadian veterans fight second battle for benefits Canada’s veterans are getting short-changed with the New Veterans Charter that was released in 2006 by Veterans Affairs Canada. Earlier this month, veterans’ ombudsman Guy Parent released his report comparing the new Charter with the old system. The Charter came up woefully lacking, especially for those severely wounded and disabled soldiers. Two years ago town hall meetings were held across the country when (then) ombudsman Col. Pat Stogran heard harrowing accounts by struggling veterans of post-traumatic stress disorders, night terrors, crippling panic attacks, disabilities from lost limbs, life-threatening illness from past exposure to the defoliant Agent Orange, and their lives and those of their families in upheaval and on hold. Stogran heard of an injured reservist released from the Canadian Forces due to his dis-
ability who couldn’t return to his old job and was unable to do 75 per cent of what he once did for work. Yet Veterans Affairs said he only had a five per cent disability and paid him just $13,000 compensation. Where is there any justice in that? C u r r e n t l y, according to Parent’s report, there are 1,428 vetMargaret erans who are totally and permanently EVANS incapacitated. His key finding was that, of those wounded vets, over 400 of them are not receiving any impairment benefits. They have difficulty finding work and, when they turn 65, any benefits from the Charter will cease and they will be forced to live well below the poverty line. In fact, Parent identi-
fied the insufficiency of financial support after the age of 65 for at-risk, permanently incapacitated veterans the most urgent Charter shortcoming to address. How did Charter scribes ever manage to come up with such a formula? These incredibly brave individuals who put their lives on the line in conflict situations abroad are now battling Veterans Affairs for benefits that are fair and appropriate for their condition. And so they should. But they shouldn’t have to. Compare VAC’s treatment of veterans to the latest development in the U.K. On Friday, Prince Harry officially opened The Royal British Legion Centre for Blast Injury Studies at Imperial College, London. Civilian engineers, scientists and military doctors will undertake research to reduce the effects of roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices (IEDS). The goals are to

increase understanding of blast injury patterns, improve treatments and recovery, and develop better protection for those serving in conflicts. Over 400 U.K. military and civilian personnel were killed in Afghanistan. Canada lost 158 soldiers of which 97 were killed by explosive devices. There are over 2,000 veterans in the U.K. that were wounded in action in Afghanistan and, along with our 1,428 injured, many were victims of IEDs. “In the past I’ve met many service men and women injured in operations, many by IEDs and landmines,” said Prince Harry. “Their stories are harrowing. Watching the IED simulation reminded me of the catastrophic trauma experienced by the human body during IED or mine strikes.” Blast injuries not only destroy limbs but their shock waves
impact victims at the cellular level. The blast force causes nerve damage and affects brain function. The Prince was able to watch a simulator demonstrate how blast shockwaves travel through the air. Exposure to an IED explosion can result in patients suffering a little understood side effect in which bone forms inside muscle tissue. “Blast injuries afflict far too many armed service personnel and this new Centre offers hope to current and future victims of war,” said Professor James Stirling, provost of Imperial College. “We will be working with some of the world’s finest military personnel. When they are injured in conflict, they deserve the very best treatment.” Shouldn’t Veterans Affairs Canada be echoing those same sentiments and commitments?

demands for government-imposed wealth redistribution” because of Social Justice certainly does not reflect the objectives of the course my daughter attended at CSS last year. The students who take this class come out of it knowledgeable, enthusiastic and caring students who certainly are going to be marketable and of interest to employers. Employers find participation in community service groups and interest in helping those less fortunate as positives on a resume, not negatives. Here’s to hoping the school board does not change the curriculum or remove these type of courses that only help our young people to become better human beings. Something we all can learn from.

Developers build better communities What is the first thought that comes to mind when you read the words “battle” and “developer” in a local newspaper story? We thought so. Your reader is painted a picture of warring parties “fighting for individual rights at any cost”. Here’s the rest of the story. There are several responsibilities to be weighed and considered at every zoning hearing. They include the interest of current residents, the interest of future residents in the homes that are planned to be
built, and responsibility to ensure that investments in land in the City of Chilliwack, when conducted within the rules and laws enacted by our various governments, are protected. Sometimes this can all get a little lost in any given emotionpacked public hearing. And what of the owls and the fish? We too share in the wonder and the awe at the incredible design and beauty of salmon spawning and owls roosting (except perhaps the smell of salmon rotting). How much more so when we
consider the incredible design and potential in each one of our citizens. It will always be a worthy debate to consider where the homes for our future citizens should be built. We, our employees, trades and suppliers, also live in this community together with our families, and we too appreciate such local amenities as the Vedder River Rotary Trail. Community based initiatives and projects like this provide us all as a community the opportunity to participate in enhancing and interacting with wildlife and
natural beauty as it was intended for us to enjoy. We are thankful for the opportunity to build fine residential communities as we share our city with more and more residents and the potential that they bring. And we are thankful for leadership and staff at city hall who deal with these issues each and every day. We all need to hear “good job, well done” from time to time, so there’s a fine group of people to think of if you have an extra moment for someone else today.

The ‘grand experiment’ has us heading one way The atmosphere, as Francis pointed out, is 77% nitrogen (N2) and 21% Oxygen (O2). N2 and O2 molecules can stretch, but only symmetrically. Molecules with three atoms like carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapour (H2O), nitrous oxide (N2O) or ozone (O3), or five atoms like methane (CH4), can stretch and bend asymmetrically at frequencies that match wavelengths of infrared energy, allowing absorption and re-emission. A graphic is available at http://tinyurl.com/yj3ljb7 to illustrate. Some of that energy will end up emitted back to Earth, adding to the total energy reaching
the planet. That is the greenhouse effect. Atmospheric CO2 concentrations fluctuate naturally, over the past million years up and down between about 180 ppm to about 280 ppm. Since the industrial revolution it has shot up to its current level of about 400 ppm due to burning of fossil fuels. A graphic at http://tinyurl.com/qeuwc2g illustrates. Current Canadian and British Columbian economic and energy policies ensure that our carbon emissions will accelerate. It is a grand experiment.

The following is a letter in response to “CO2 a tiny fraction of atmosphere”, Progress, Oct. 15. Thanks to Francis Patrick Jordan for asking “How can a reasonable person argue that carbon dioxide is the primary driver of climate change?” The answer lies in wavelengths of energy and the structure of molecules. Energy from the Sun reaches Earth in the range from ultraviolet to infrared, peaking in the visible range. This energy warms the Earth and Earth in turn radiates energy, as any object warmer than absolute zero does. Earth radiates in the infrared range.

UFV says thanks for community support
The University of the Fraser Valley recognizes the support it has received over the year to aid students, and better deliver local programs. SUBMITTED
UFV Board chair Barry Delaney, who was unable to attend the event, sent his greetings via emcee Aaron Levey. UFV bestowed Distinguished Alumni awards on two alumni members. Stu Chahal (BCIS ’05) was honoured in the Distinguished Alumni category, while Evan Wiens (BSc ’06) was named Distinguished Young Alumni. Chahal, now a manager of partner operations for CISCO and an active community volunteer, testified to the quality of UFV’s Computer Information Systems program by noting that

he chose to commute from Vancouver to Abbotsford to earn his UFV degree. “I came out to check out the campus, and Paul Franklin, the CIS department head, personally toured me through all the labs. I was so impressed that it inspired me to drive out to the valley for my education.� Wiens, who is just launching his career as a dentist, has been extremely active in organizing charitable dental clinics in communities in need throughout his time at UBC dental school. “There were three things about UFV that made me glad I attend-
ed,� he noted. “It was affordable, I was able to really interact with and get personal attention from instructors, and I was able to stay in my community and do things such as volunteer and work, which provided valuable experience that would have been harder to get if I was living on campus at another university.� The audience also heard from one of UFV’s earliest alumni. Rob O’Brennan is now CEO of the Fraser Valley Regional Library, but in 1976 he was a first-year student in one of Fraser Valley College’s first years of offering classes. He recalled that his semes-

Gratitude was the theme of the evening at the University of the Fraser Valley last night as donors, supporters, and alumni gathered for the Giving Thanks event at the Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park. Guests mingled with scholarship winners and learned about the many goals the university is able to accomplish through the support of donors and sponsors. They heard directly from student speakers who highlighted the benefits of receiving financial support towards their studies. “Financial aid can make the difference between taking a year or two off to work to fund more schooling, and continuing directly in the program,� said science student Ashandeep Sandhu. “Thank you for changing our lives by investing in us,� said social work student Sophie Smit. “You have made a huge difference in our lives by investing in us, and I hope to do the same for others.� UFV honored John Jansen for being a longtime supporter of the university. UFV chancellor Brian Minter, who also has a decades-long relationship with the university, thanked all the guests for caring about their local postsecondary institution.

News RCMP seek witnesses following scooter collision A man is in critical condition after the scooter he was driving collided with a Chevy HHR station wagon on Young Road at Railway Avenue in Chilliwack at about 5 p.m. Wednesday. It is believed the man, who was heading south on Young Road, laid his scooter down to avoid hitting the vehicle which was turning left onto Young Road from Railway Avenue. The 43-year-old female driver of the Chevy HHR did not see the man and accidentally drove over him, pinning him underneath her vehicle. A tow truck driver from AJ Towing was nearby when the collision happened and rushed to help by using his vehicle to lift the station wagon off of the man. The 51-year-old man sustained serious injuries and was transported to hospital. The man is currently in stable, but critical condition. Chilliwack Municipal Traffic Services is investigating the file and have ruled out alcohol or distracted driving as a contributing factor.
A man is taken away on a stretcher following a collision on Young Road. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
“Police are thankful the driver stopped, as well to the driver of a passing tow truck who also stopped to assist by lifting the vehicle to free the man for ambulatory care,� says Const.
Cynthia Kershaw. “The police encourage anyone who may have seen this collision to call with the information.� If anyone has any information regarding this incident
you are asked to please contact the Chilliwack Municipal Traffic Ser vices at the Chilliwack RCMP at 604 7924611, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

HEALTH from Front collaborative work to date and we look forward to our service delivery role, bringing to life our vision of healthy, self-determining and vibrant B.C. First Nations children, families and communities,� said Kelly in the press release. It’s actually a first in Canada, and could be a model for other prov-
inces. “Today marks the beginning of a new era in health care for B.C. First Nations,� said Minister Ambrose. “The transfer of responsibilities empowers First Nations while promoting a better, more responsive, integrated and innovative model of health service delivery. This agreement will contribute to the development of healthier and
more sustainable B.C. First Nations communities.� The new approach enables the FNHA to incorporate First Nations’ cultural knowledge, beliefs, values, and models of healing into the design and delivery of health programs that better meet the needs of aboriginal communities. It’s a milestone on several historic levels.

“We are empowering First Nations all across the province with the goal of improving the health status of all British Columbians,� said B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake. The transfer is supported by the Canada Funding Agreement which authorizes the transfer of roughly $380 million a year, for a total of $4.7 billion from July 1, 2013 until March 31, 2023. The amount is based on federal costs for First Nations programs and services in British Columbia with an escalator to reflect expected population and cost increases. By the end of 201213, the B.C. government will have provided $27 million in funding to support the framework agreement. This funding is part of the overall $100-million commitment that will be provid-
ed to the First Nations Health Authority up to 2020 to implement the agreement. Parties signed a framework agreement, which concluded negotiations that began in 2006 and included federal government, the province and B.C. First Nations, when they signed the First Nations Health Plan: Memorandum of Understanding. The new arrangement supports better health outcomes for B.C. First Nations through a new governance structure and a new relationship among the three parties. It addresses health-service gaps through new partnerships, closer collaboration and health systems innovation through coordination and integration.   jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

University hosts an evening of ‘thanks giving’ UFV from page 13 bachelor’s degrees there. I wonder how different all of our lives would have been if UFV hadn’t been there for us. UFV has been very good to our family.” UFV director of advancement Hilary Beard thanked the donors for coming and singled out donor Murray Herron, who is funding a new scholarship in honour of the Herron and Sharpe families. “Murray was so determined to meet the first recipient of his award that he travelled from Australia to be here tonight and for a special lunch with her.” She encouraged the audience to keep supporting UFV. “We will be educating your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren,” she noted. “Education is transformational, but it comes with a price, so please consider us when planning your philanthropical activities.” UFV president Mark Evered ended the evening by noting that events that bring
donors and students together highlight the two ways that UFV measures success: the success of its students,
and the impact that the university has on its communities. He noted that as a young married under-
graduate student he wouldn’t have been able to continue in university himself without the financial support of
a donor-funded scholarship. And he said he was inspired by Jean Scott, a 101-year-old supporter of UFV who
celebrates her birthdays by encouraging donations to her scholarship fund, to create a scholarship fund in
honour of his recently deceased father that he will encourage his family and friends to donate to on his birthday.

Bike sale raises record funds It was a record day for the used bike sale hosted by the Chilliwack Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy Association at Bernard Elementary on Saturday. The event raised more than $3,100 for the program, which attempts to help both young offenders and victims of crime through mediation and restitution. That’s the most money the sale has ever raised, said Peter Devette, Restorative Justice director and sale coordinator. “This year we had a record attendance with many smiles leaving with the bike of their choice and we were able to donate at least 30 bikes to local charities,” said Devette. “A big thank you goes out to the many volunteers who showed up to help out and as always we appreciate the support of Bernard Elementary School with the use of their parking lot,” he added. The organization plans to have another sale in the spring. We are grateful for all of the
Community support for this fundraiser. Restorative Justice hopes to build on that success as it looks for community volunteers
to help with the program. Executive director Kathy Funk is currently out in the community doing informational sessions on how people

can give back in a powerful way. For more information call Kathy Funk, Executive Director at 604.393.3023.

For many people, their home is their biggest asset and their prized possession. When it comes time to buy that first home, or sell your current home and upgrade, why trust someone that doesn’t have intimate knowledge of the area and local market? Having been born and raised in Chilliwack, knowing the community and various neighbourhoods comes as second nature to me. With an extensive background in Personal and Commercial Insurance Sales and Marketing, I know what it takes to market products to the right people to achieve a quick sale and for top dollar. I love working with people and seeing my clients meet their Real Estate Goals is my main focus! When Buying or Selling Property, you need an honest, hardworking REALTOR that you can count on to be there for you and to devote the time to ensure that you are totally satisfied before, during and after your transaction. I am that REALTOR; and I welcome your calls.

House hunting in a buyers’ or sellers’ market . . . How to make an offer When you find the right home, what can you do to maximize your chances of actually getting it? The first step you should take is to make a prompt offer. Whether you are in a buyers’ or sellers’ market, taking too much time to initiate an offer can cost you your chance to buy. If your offer is the only one on the table, the sellers will consider it, and if they don’t accept it, they may make a good counter offer. While you are ‘sleeping on it’, however, you risk the enormous possibility of another offer coming in. If another buyer appears on the scene, you lose an important advantage if you and the sellers are going back and forth with offers and counter offers. If you really want that special house, make the best offer you can - as quickly as possible, before someone else shares your same enthusiasm for it. Whether the market is hot or sluggish, it is a good idea to assume that another offer is likely to come in, and move as quickly as possible to minimize the possibility of another buyer materializing. Your Realtor cannot tell you how much to offer but can give you information about the selling prices of similar homes in the area. Your Realtor will present your offer
So is it time to make a move now that fall is finally here? If you don’t know where to start, I’ll help you have no fear! Listings are strong & rates are low, Perfect to buy or sell! So if you want a helping hand, Just come and . . . “Ring My Bell”

to the sellers. They have three choices - they can accept, reject, or counter your offer. If the house is a new listing, or if your offer is very low, they may decide to hold out for something better, especially in a fast-paced market. Even if you want to test the sellers’ flexibility, your should still make a realistic offer. The first thing you should do is to make the offer as ‘clean’ as possible by not asking for special contingencies. Avoid making demands on the sellers for minor repairs, such as cutting down the dead tree in the back yard or leaving chattel. Be as flexibile as possible about scheduling the closing date to fit the sellers’ moving plans, and any subject clauses such as home inspection or financing clauses should be dealt with swiftly. Each situation is different, however, but the simpler the offer, the more likely the sellers are to accept.

Licensed since May 1980, I have had the pleasure of being involved with the many changes Chilliwack has undergone. Over the years, our community has become larger, stronger, more diversified and offers amenities that make Chilliwack a very desirable place to live. The Real Estate profession during that time has also under gone many changes. The advent of technology that makes life as a Realtor conveniently manageable. But, there has been no change in my opinion, that has had the impact that Disclosure and Agency has had on my profession. Disclosure took all the uncertainty away, no one ever minded what went on, just as long as they where told what that was. Agency allows clear and certain understanding of the relationship you are entering into with your Realtor! With a career that has survived the riggers of life, I now enter my senior years as a Realtor that offers a wealth of knowledge and experience. I’d welcome the opportunity to meet you, and work hand in hand with you, to accomplish all your real estate needs.

nia,” says Chief Medical Health Officer, Dr. Paul Van Buynder. “The influenza vaccine is the best protection against influenza illness and its complications and is a safe and effective way to help people stay healthy, prevent illness, and even save lives.” Flu shots are recommended for everyone and are free in B.C. for all children from six months to five years of age, people 65-years and older, pregnant women, Aboriginal
people, people with chronic health conditions, and those with compromised immune systems. The vaccine is also important for anyone who lives or works with a person who is at higher risk of problems from the flu. To protect patients in health care facilities, last year British Columbia’s health authorities adopted a policy requiring all doctors, staff, students and volunteers to get immunized or to wear a mask kia.ca

CSS coach built a basketball greenhouse
The inaugural class of the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame will be inducted Saturday night during a Chilliwack Chiefs game at Prospera Centre. The 1990s era Turbo fastball team goes in alongside former Olympian and National Hockey Leaguer Dave Archibald. Joining them is Joe Ogmundson, a longtime coach who enters the CSHOF in the builder category.
Eric J. Welsh, The Progress The players in Joe Ogmundson’s Chilliwack secondary school girls’ basketball programs used to get a t-shirt. On that t-shirt were the words, ‘I want to play like,’ followed by a loooong list of names. Tamara Carruthers at the University of Victoria. Patti Olsen at Douglas College. Amy Hatt at Simon Fraser University. Heather McFee at Briercrest College. Amanda Forstbauer with the Augustana Vikings. The list went on and on and on. “Eventually, we stopped making the t-shirts because the list just got too long,” Ogmundson laughed. Carruthers was the first to emerge from Ogmundson’s basketball program. “She was a walk on at UVic and ended up setting records for three point shooting,” the coach said proudly. “(UVic coach) Kathy Shields said she just couldn’t get rid of her. Tamara kept playing her way back onto the roster every year.” Ogmundson grads helped build the University of the Fraser Valley into a women’s basketball powerhouse. Going back to the UCFV days, his pro-
gram produced 13 future Cascades; Nicole Hill, Natasha Younker, Carly Brogan, Laura Hallinan, Brooke Veschuur, Alyssa Gaukel, Danielle Christian and Tiffany Bosell among others. The most recent UFV squad, one that has made several runs at CIS national supremacy, included the Wierks sisters, Nicole and Sarah, Courtney Bartel and Alexa McCarthy “I’ve been to a couple UVic versus UFV games where Vanessa Forstbauer was out there for UVic against all the CSS girls on UFV. And when you ask about achievements, that’s what I was always most proud of,” Ogmundson said. “Not wins and championships, but having three or four dozen girls go on to play basketball on someone else’s dollar.” More than one UFV coach has referred to Ogmundson’s program as a ‘basketball factory,’ though he grimaces when he hears that phrase. “To me, that implies some sort of churning-out process, and I don’t see it that way,” Ogmundson said. “A greenhouse isn’t a vegetable factory, it’s a place where peppers and cucumbers are able to grow. Our program isn’t a factory that churns out players. It’s a place that allows kids to find their passion and develop.” Ogmundson’s school coaching history dates back to 1974. St. Mary’s Catholic School was a junior high school back then, and Ogmundson ran the Grade 8-10 boys basketball team for six years. His CSS tenure started in 1985. “The thought that was that I could coach girls basketball, and when that other guy gets out of the way, I’ll coach the boys,” Ogmundson said, not knowing at the time that Joe Mauro would never, ever, ever leave. Ogmundson grew to love the girls’ game, and in particular, those lightgoing-on moments when one of his players ‘got it.’ “Any teacher loves that moment, and I remember coaching Alexa McCarthy

and her turning to me and saying, ‘I think I see the game the way you do now,’” he said. “Having that relationship between the point guard and coach was really exciting, because she was on the floor, seeing situations the way I would see them.” Ogmundson’s coaching persona has evolved through the years. “If you asked my players back in 1978, it would be the chair chucker, because Bobby Knight was chucking chairs back then and he was a star,” Ogmundson laughed. “I saw some of the high-level coaches in the Fraser Valley were chucking chairs too, and I thought that was how you were supposed to do it. I didn’t know there was another way for a long time, but now, my players would certainly say I’m more cerebral and relaxed than I was back then.” Like any great coach, Ogmundson credits those who coached him. He’s got all the time in the world to talk about a guy like Jack Covey, another of Chilliwack’s coaching legends.
“I really believe that if you want to do something well, copy someone who is already doing it well, and Jack was so dedicated, even tempered and knowledgeable,” he said. “I went to workshops and did all sorts of professional development. I studied whatever I was coaching at the time and really enjoyed that cerebral side. How can we do this better? I had coaches back in high school (at St. Thomas More), coaches whose name I can’t even remember now, but I remember what they did, the way they taught us skills and made us feel important.” Ogmundson’s coaching resume surpasses nearly all of his former coaches, and he’s far from done. Now, he’s going to be a Hall of Famer. “I have no idea what I’m doing here, with an Olympian (Dave Archibald) and a championship fastball team,” he said. “I’m a very wordy guy, but when Judy (Fitzsimmons, CSHOF president) called me, I think it was the first time I was without something to say.”
Pauls leads Cascades to crown The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades men’s and women’s golf teams both captured national titles Friday, winning the 2013 CCAA championship tournament at Quebec City’s Royal Quebec Golf Club. It is the first national title for either team. It is the first time one school has captured both titles in the same year since the Humber College Hawks did it in 2007. The men won the three-day tournament with a combined score of 863, 12 strokes better than the silver medalists and four time defending champions Hawks.
The Pacwest Camosun College Chargers earned the bronze medal with a score of 881. Fifteen teams participated. UFV’s daily scores were 283, 290 and 290, with wins on two of the three days. Until Camosun edged them in today’s final round, the Cascade contingent had won every round they played this year. Chilliwack’s Aaron Pauls led the Cascades and finished second individually with a threeday score of 211. Langley’s Dar r en Whitehouse was one stroke behind, taking third.
Husker punter gets all-star nod Chilliwack’s Valley Huskers had one player named as a BC Football Conference All-Star. Twenty seven players were recognized. Husker punter Dan Erickson got the nod after averaging 31 yards a kick on 57 punts. His total yardage was 1,765 yards. Chilliwack native Evan Foster won two of the major BCFC awards, taking home hardware as the best defensive lineman
and top defensive player. Foster, a Chilliwack Minor Football product, set a new single season record for quarterback sacks, dropping BCFC pivots 16 times in 10 games. He had 15 solo tackles, 13 assists and one interception for a touchdown with the defending Cullen Cup champion Langley Rams. Get the full awards roundup at bcjuniorfootball.ca

Chiefs claw back against Caps
The Chilliwack Chiefs are showing signs of life, picking up points in two of their last three games. The Chiefs played last Wednesday, on the road in Langley. Ben Butcher, Carter Cochrane and Zach Diamantoni had goals and Josh Halpenny stopped 26 shots as Chilliwack escaped with a 3-0 shutout win.
The Chiefs carried on to Vancouver Island for weekend road games versus Cowichan Valley and Victoria. Chilliwack faced the Capitals Saturday, rallying from a three-goal deficit to earn a single point in an eventual 6-5 overtime loss. Brandon Volpe got the game’s first goal 4:04 into the first period, but the Caps scored the next three to lead 3-1 through 20. Jarrett Brown had the only goal in the second period, and Kyle Horsman put Cowichan Valley up 5-1 early in the third. Jaret Babych got the comeback train rolling at 6:37, scoring his second of the season on
a Chiefs power play. Cooper Rush scored his second of the year on another Chilliwack power play at 12:51. Jordan Kawaguchi’s even-strength marker at 15:08 got the Chiefs within one, setting the stage for a dramatic final minute. With netminder Halpenny pulled for the extra attacker, Butcher got the equalizer. Cowichan Valley recovered, and had the last laugh on a Reilly O’Connor goal 4:49 into OT. A short turnaround saw the Chiefs in Victoria for a 2 p.m. Sunday start. L yndon Stanwood got the nod in goal, giving up three goals on 12
shots before leaving the game at the 27 minute mark. Andrew Silard scored at even strength, and Cooper Rush tallied on the power play in a 6-2 loss. The Chiefs (2-8-1-2) now look forward to a home and road weekend. The Caps and Chiefs have a Friday night rematch at Prospera Centre, with a 7 p.m. start time. Chilliwack hosts the Surrey Eagles Saturday night. Sunday finds them in Coquitlam, taking on the Express in a 2 p.m. start. Get Chiefs info online at chilliwackchiefs.net and get BCHL info at bchl.ca
Backup pivot leads Grizzlies to win
Backup quar terback Wyatt Uzick rallied the GW Graham junior Grizzlies to a 34-28 football win over the Langley Saints last Thursday. With starter Jordon Breuker sidelined by the flu, Uzick stepped in and led his crew to their fourth win of the year. Uzick struggled early, throwing an interception. But he bounced back later, getting into After two seasons, Tyson St. James has stepped down as head coach of the Valley Huskers. St. James accumulated a record of 2-17-1 over those two years, though he did a good job instilling a better culture. Adam Smith, the offensive coordinator for the GW Graham football teams, will be taking over for St. James. This is Smith’s first high-level head coaching gig.

a groove with big pass completions to Kyle Helsloot and Emerson Smith. All of GWG’s points came on the ground. Filling in for injured starter Tristan Davis, running back Billy Hanson rumbled for two majors, and added a third on a 75 yard kickoff return. Tyler Sprott added two touchdown runs. Linebackers Cainen Burgh and Cyrus Tommy led the Grizzlies defence, with each player recording several tackles and a quarterback sack. A huge Friday night matchup has the Grizzlies hosting the AAA W.J. Mouat Hawks at Chilliwack’s Exhibition Stadium.
Both teams are 4-1, and the result could have a major impact on playoff seeding — the Grizzlies may play in the AA or AAA playoffs depending on the outcome. The senior squad fell to 1-4 with a Friday night road loss in Mission. The Grizzly D had no answer for Roadrunners Evan Horton and Jesse Walker, who did most of the damage in a 55-27 final. Burgh played up a level and held his own, making several tackles. Linebacker Kehayiw McKay played well, and defensive backs Austin Creasey and Josh Pretty delivered thunderous hits on Mission pass catchers. The GWG offence
was led by quarterback Brandon McCormick, who threw four TD tosses. Jake Creasey caught two of them, with Trey Walsh and Isaiah McFarlane also finding the endzone. Walsh got some snaps at running back, picking up 87 yards on 12 carries behind offensive linemen Josh Mander and Diego Pineda. The senior squad hosts Pitt Meadows Friday night in the back half of the Homecoming double header at Exhibition Stadium. The juniors kick off at 5 p.m. The seniors follow at 7 p.m. Get info at grahamfootball.ca

receive the award Wednesday, joined by CG&CC teaching pro Brad Clapp. “Whenever you have such a strong list of nominees for an award such as this you don’t
really know what to expect as to the final outcome,� Ewart said. “Being recognized as the Lower Mainland representative was incredible enough, and to now be recognized for the provincial award is very much an honor.� As the Lower Mainland nominee, CG&CC went head to head with Bear Mountain Golf Resort (Vancouver Island), Copper Point Golf Club (North Kootenay) and Fairview Mountain Golf Club (Interior). Three points of criteria were used to select the winner. Did the course provide a distinguished, impressive and remarkable golf experience to its membership and/or the golfing public? Did it have a record record of hosting successful golf events and was it regarded as a first-class golf operation? CG&CC hosted several provincial
championships in 2013, including the BC Senior Women’s Championship and the PGA of BC Assistants Championship. CG&CC also held the Chilliwack Men’s Open in July and the Chilliwack Women’s Open in September, two of the longest standing tournaments in the province. “This award would not have been possible without the dedication of an amazing management and service team here at the club.� Ewart said. “We are very fortunate to have a group of members that have been willing to host some of the most prestigious golf championships in our province over the years.� Past winners of this award include the Vancouver Golf Club (2012), Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club (2011), Cordova Bay Golf Club (2010) and Fairview Mountain Golf Club (2009).

With heavy hearts, the family of William (Bill) Thomas Barnett announces his passing while at Kelowna General Hospital on October 11, 2013, at the age of 63. His passing was as gentle as possible. Bill was born May 12, 1950 in Montreal, Quebec to Thomas William and Emily (nee Skinner). Bill always loved hockey and a good debate, or ideally a good debate about hockey. Without question, family was what mattered most to Bill. Bill was a son, husband, brother, father, uncle, grandfather, great-uncle, nephew, cousin and friend. He was intelligent, kind, witty, funny, generous, thoughtful and stubborn. He blessed us with ten extra years of his life after suffering major health complications and many medical miracles. He will be forever missed. Bill was predeceased by his parents, parents-in-law and several aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Still here to honour his memory are his wife of 38 years Gerre; his son James Barnett (Diana), granddaughters Sienna and Aiyana and their mother Tracey; his daughter Nicole Pallone (Dino) and granddaughters Rosie and Carmella; sister Elizabeth Hawthorne; brother-in-law Bob Boesch; nephew John Hawthorne (Heather) and children Joshua, Hannah and Emma; niece Karen Manke (Renato) and children Ryan, Kyle and Kurtis. He will also be sorely missed by his brother Wayne Chin (Nancy) and niece Ciara, and unofficially adopted daughter Rebecca Sherman (Kevin) and nephew Matthew MacKenzie. If you would like to make a donation in Bill’s memory in lieu of flowers, Canadian PKU and Allied Disorders Inc. (www.canpku.org) is a nonprofit organization that Bill supported with many donations and volunteer hours after his granddaughter’s diagnosis of PKU. A celebration of memories will be held on November 10, 2013 in Cranbrook, BC, at St. Eugene’s Golf Resort & Casino from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm with refreshments provided. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Welcome to the 2013 edition of the Chilliwack Progress A-List! After six years, we’re thrilled Progress readers continue to vote for their favourite local businesses, organizations and places to go in over 120 different categories. After weeks of voting, we’re sharing the results with the community. In the following pages, you will find the two favourites, listed alphabetically, in each category - that’s a list of over 240! We hope you’ll take some time to review Chilliwack’s A-List and explore new places to eat, shop, hike, swim, entertain, socialize, and spend time with friends and family. If you visit one of our A-List businesses take a moment to let them know you saw them on the A-List. They’ll appreciate your congratulations. And of course, don’t hesitate to drop us a note and tell us about your experience. As the new Publisher of the Chilliwack Progress, returning to the community after many years, I know the A-List will be a great resource for me and my family and I hope it will be yours. Congratulations to our 2013 A-List! Carly Ferguson Publisher, The Chilliwack Progress

There are so many wonderful things about this great community in which we live! Take a look around; we are surrounded by natural, majestic beauty! The beautiful mountains, the rivers, the expansive fields – these natural wonders fill your eyes and stimulate the senses. If you prefer recreation, Chilliwack has an abundance of that too. Then there are a variety of amenities which add to this community’s high liveability factor. We are immensely fortunate to live so close to one of Canada’s largest cities and yet, we are able to enjoy a more relaxed, rural setting. Chilliwack has a forward approach to business which allows the community to prosper. However, the best thing about Chilliwack is the people that live here. There are so many proud residents that are engaged in their community on so many levels; all with one
common goal – to make it a better place to live. People care, they work hard, they work collaboratively and they go the distance to ensure that we all live in an A-List community! Ana Macedo Facility Manager, Chilliwack Heritage Park

The Best Place on Earth As many of you know by now I immigrated to Canada in 2001 with my husband and our 3 sons. We landed in Chilliwack, still are and loving it! Do you want to know why? It’s the best place on earth! What’s so special about Chilliwack? Everything!! Every morning when I drive to work and I see the mountains I have the feeling I’m on holiday, still. Our boys played sports all the time, hockey at Twin Rinks, at 6:00AM in the Coloseum, later at Prospera Center. Soccer at Fairfield Island,Rugby at Townsend Park and Football is there too, first on grass, later on the beautiful turf field. All pretty close and great facilities. Schools? From elementary to secondary school, it’s all there. So is the Shopping experience, from the second hand stores to the luxurious boutiques, something for everybody. Stroll along Wellington, or go to the malls on a rainy day, or anywhere in between. We want to go out for dinner? Plenty of international cuisines can be found here. We just got our wonderful cultural Centre the place to go for a night out, or our two movie theatres, lots to choose from. We love to go for a walk along the Vedder river, on a Sunday afternoon, it’s gorgeous, the river, the mountains, sometimes even eagles in the trees. I’m not surprised that The Progress received over 7000 nominations for their A-List!

What Our Students Are Saying About Us...
Look at Garrison, Downtown, the educational park, our city works really hard to make it an even more desirable place to live. It’s the people in Chilliwack that make this all happen. If there is a fundraiser, either for a family with a sick child, or victims of a fire, or just because the Rotary wants to do a project in the city, Chilliwack will make it happen! We all come together and fight for our cause. Congratulations to all of thee g nominees, you mean something d to a lot of people and you should feel special. And no matter wheree I will end up in the future, this willl always be home, because it’s the best place on earth!

The spirit of service Canada Education Park while preserving much of the military history that encompasses the former Canada Forces Base in Chilliwack. Together, Chilliwack celebrates its role in serving our national interests in previous years while becoming a centre for excellence in advanced education and trades and technology training for the future. The incredible recreational facilities, parks and community buildings are a result of the tireless work of Chilliwack volunteers. Chilliwack residents give much of their time to esit on committees to plan and execute projects that serve the greaterr community. The Vedder Rotaryy Trail, Landing Leisure Centre and Chilliwack Cultural Centre are perfect examples of this. We are so blessed to get to live and work together in this community. It is an honour to serve you as you serve others. John Martin, MLA Chilliwack

Having had the opportunity to live in various parts of British Columbia before settling down in Chilliwack, what I admire most about our community is the spirit of service that is embodied by the people who call Chilliwack home. When faced with a challenge Chilliwack residents work together to find a solution. This is evidenced by the passionate non-profit organizations that are so well-supported by the people who live here. It is also apparent in the ways that the people of Chilliwack work to grow Chilliwack’s economy. Small business owners also contribute to the best aspects of Chilliwack. Every day dedicated Chilliwack businessmen and women go to work to support their families and the rest of the community by donating to local sports teams and community groups. Small business owners are working to create a vibrant economy in the downtown and elsewhere. Businesses that sell local products, local services, and local food are part of why I love Chilliwack. Agriculture has remained the basis of the Chilliwack economy for many years and it is because of this support that our community has grown. Our farmers celebrate our heritage and embrace the technology of the future. Innovative practices and faithful efforts to establish great farms on prime agricultural land is why I love Chilliwack. The spirit of service is recognized in the development of the

City girls enjoy the small country feel of our community Ken’s Tire & Wheel makes me feel comfortable whether it is a repair or the purchase of tires, I know I can trust the staff. Mr. Lube is my place for oil changes, fast & efficient. By far the best family activity in town is Party in the Park. Entertainment, activities and a variety of food & craft vendor’s make for an enjoyable experience not to mention meeting up with wonderful people from our community puts this at the top of my A-list. Culture has always been a big part of this City girl’s life and the Chilliwack Cultural Centre has lived up to a tall order and made my A-list. Our community has so much to be proud of and I am proud to call it home. Kathy Funk Executive Director, Chilliwack Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy

Can you put the Country in the big City girl? I love taking a walk along the Rotary Trail and soaking in the sites and sounds of nature. Being surrounded by majestic mountains instead of concrete walls has a charming appeal. Growing up with ethnic foods, there is no better place then right in the heart of Downtown Chilliwack. Greek food was a large part of my experience in Ottawa and by far, Rendezvous has the best lamb and Greek salad available. Bravo is my A-list choice for fine dining and Rustica Ristorante not only the best Italian but it has a special place as this is where my husband proposed to me. I must say that for the best breakfast & lunch, we head to Jimmy J’s as it is a great value for good prices. Working out at the Downtown YMCA is a great experience as everyone is friendly and the volunteers the best! Optimum Sport is my “Cheers-where everyone knows my name…the best physical fitness guru’s help with massage, chiropractic & acupuncture needs. I love clothes and one of my favorite new spots is Bella Clothing Boutique, they know what looks good on me and I must give honorable mentions to Lolly’s Fashion Lounge downtown as they have taken care of me for years. Where does a woman go to feel confident about buying new tires?

I guess you can tell that I like it here When my family first came to Chilliwack in 1983 we Chilliwack Mountain. There is simply no place like it on earth. rented a house on Little Mountain. I guess you can tell that I We came from the flat-and-dry Prairies; I had recently spent years in college in Regina. To come from that rather austere like it here. setting to a verdant, brilliantly green valley just minutes away Laurie Throness, MLA from lakes - with beaches with actual sand, not just pebbles Chilliwack-Hope and rivers and golf courses and ski-hills, the American border and Vancouver and the ocean itself, was like coming to a kind of earthly paradise. We were used to skinny bare trees, beaten by the wind and bitter cold. To hike through dim, giant rainforests laden with moss and shot through with shafts of golden sunlight, was awe-inspiring. And then there were the mountains; mountains everywhere you looked. Every day we ascended to our house on Little Mountain, and its breathtaking view of our miniature paradise from above. In all kinds of weather the land and sky offered unparalleled views of constantly-changing beauty, and thirty years later I still drink in these soul-feeding sights every day, whether it’s looking up from the Valley floor or looking out from Promontory, the Falls, Little Mountain or

Chilliwack has been my home for almost six years and I am so happy to have settled here. Who could not agree that we live in one of the most beautiful cities in BC? The view of Mt. Cheam from my window, the Vedder River just a short drive away, and friends to enjoy the many outdoor activities Chilliwack has to offer. I love starting my day with a class or workout at The Chilliwack Family YMCA. It’s such a great organization that has something for people of all ages and fitness abilities. Chilliwack is home to a large number of community minded volunteers and service organizations. In my short time at The Chilliwack Hospice Society I have come to meet some wonderful volunteers who give so much of themselves whether it be spending their time at The Cascade Residence, working in the community, working at The Thrifty Boutique, or working on our upcoming November Night Gala. These individuals are so passionate about their contribution to the work of The Chilliwack Hospice Society, and I know there are many other people in Chilliwack who work to support other non-profit groups or causes that are dear to their hearts. Other things I love about our city is the easy access to outdoor

The Great Outside It is easy to understand why more and more people are moving to Chilliwack. It really does go beyond affordable Real Estate and nice neighbourhoods, although that is a big positive! I am proud to have lived the majority of my life in Chilliwack, and I feel very fortunate to now raise a family in this amazing community. There are so many reasons to be thankful Chilliwack is my home. Our scenery is spectacular. The combination of rivers, lakes, mountains and agricultural land blend to create a photographers dream landscape. To me, there is nothing that quite says Chilliwack like majestic Mt. Cheam covered in snow with clear blue sky as a back-drop. The hike to the peak of Mt. Cheam is my favourite hike, as the view of the Fraser Valley is breathtaking. Anyone that loves outdoor recreational opportunities will find Chilliwack and the surrounding area has a lot to offer. Personally, I love to jog on the Rotary Vedder River Trail, and recently experienced the new Peach Creek Trail. What a perfect location to easily view spawning salmon.

Summer and Cultus Lake are the perfect match for many people that live in Chilliwack. Fantastic family attractions such as Cultus Lake Water Park combine with great camping, beaches and on the he lake fun. To me, nothing g says summer quite like the e arrival of Chilliwack cornn and farm fresh produce e stands around town. Both of my childrenn enjoy playing soccer, and Chilliwack FC and the City of Chilliwack have provided them with amazing opportunities to play on high quality fields at the new Exhibition Turf Field and Brian Coombe s at Townsend Park.

A ROUND C HILLIWACK AROUND CHILLIWACK Chilliwack are some of the best in the Lower Mainland, and Chilliwack has abundant sport options for all ages. I love the passion, and compassion, that people in Chilliwack have to make our community a better place. There are hundreds of volunteers that contribute their time and energy in so many worthwhile and meaningful ways, and to me the Chilliwack Hospice Society is one of those special community organizations. I live on the north side of Highway #1, and our Downtown has a special place in my heart. Like so many residents I have fond memories of the Downtown, and I believe there is a positive future ahead because so many people really do care. In my opinion there are many A-List worthy businesses in the Downtown, including The Bookman and Sticky’s Candy. Having so many great dining options close by is fantastic, with the Shandhar Hut, Chilies, and Bravo Restaurant some personal favourites.
