Supporting community initiatives

In 2023, the City of Chilliwack allocated a significant portion of its $2.6 million share of provincial gambling revenue from hosting Elements Casino Chilliwack to a variety of essential community programs and projects.

This funding was directed towards several social initiatives designed to support those most in need within Chilliwack’s diverse communities. Among the beneficiaries was the Chilliwack Community Services Youth Outreach program, which provides crucial support and resources to young people facing challenges such as homelessness, addiction, and mental health issues.

Community crime prevention initiatives and infrastructure rehabilitation projects also benefited from this financial injection, enabling the city to improve and maintain critical infrastructure, including roads, public buildings, and recreational facilities. These projects not only enhance the quality of life for residents but also ensure that Chilliwack remains a vibrant and well-maintained community for years to come.
