Popove says he’s eager to serve Chilliwack for the next four years as he seeks 2nd term as mayor
CHILLIWACK — Chilliwack mayor Ken Popove released a statement Tuesday (Sept. 6) in which he touted the successes of the past four years, like roads, housing for the most vulnerable, and trails and outdoor spaces, while touching on the staggering challenges the City faced over the past year.
Popove, who has spent 11 years on Chilliwack City Council, reiterated his commitment to the City.
“[I’m] eager to serve another term as the Mayor of Chilliwack,” the statement read. “There is no doubt that the past four years have been the most challenging any mayor of this great community has dealt with. The pandemic, fires, heat domes, atmospheric rivers and flooding posed some very challenging times…with the health and safety of all residents being at the forefront.”
Popove touted the addition of new leisure spaces, supportive housing developments, and improving relations with Indigenous people among the endeavours he sought to accomplish during his first term as mayor.
