Unsightly homeless encampment documented near Borden Creek east of Chilliwack
CHILLIWACK — It’s an uphill battle in every sense of the word for Chilliwack-area volunteers who are simply trying to retain the natural beauty of the Chilliwack River Valley, its picturesque terrain, its panoramic trails, and the pristine creeks that traverse swaths of remote land.
According to pictures taken by Derrick Kramer, and released by Wayne Furness and Ross Aikenhead Thursday morning (Jan. 5), disturbing images have emerged showing yet another abandoned homeless encampment containing a trailer with endless junk and toxic household effects inside, in the proximity of an abandoned vehicle that appears to be missing part of its engine.
