INVESTMENT
We need to invest in state-of-the-art infrastructure (utilities and roads), and increase our investments in infrastructure in newly densified neighbourhoods. People need more transportation alternatives to get out of their cars - a train, perhaps? And of course, we must invest in our youth!
DIVERSITY
We know that diversity in nature enhances the resiliency and flexibility of the ecosystem, and that same principle transfers into any system, including government. We need leadership that reflects our community, including First Nations, people of colour, women and youth. Ideally, senior leaders take a mentorship role and ensure continuity of skill and knowledge.
EDUCATION
We know how important it is for everyone living in Chilliwack to be well educated, and we must ensure our children have the best possible opportunities. Beyond our schools, the city must be more forthcoming and provide more information about its projects. We must work with other agencies to gain community buy-in.
