“As we prepare for a period of significant turnover on City Council, it is important to retain a measure of experience, institutional knowledge, and continuity at the council table,” Attrill-Knott said. “Maintaining that balance will help ensure thoughtful decision-making and a smooth transition for our community. I took a break from Council for one term and quickly realized that my passion for serving our community remains as strong as ever. I am committed to helping make Chilliwack the best place to live, work, and play, both today and for future generations.”

If elected by voters in October, Attrill-Knott says she’ll endeavour to keep taxes affordable and focus on infrastructure needs like roads, water, sewer and waste collection.

“My priorities are clear: Keeping taxes affordable will always be a priority, especially during uncertain economic times,” she said. “Residents expect these fundamentals to be delivered efficiently and effectively. Maintaining fiscal responsibility is critical. Chilliwack’s approach of saving for major projects before spending, rather than relying heavily on debt, has served our community well and should continue.”

When it comes to concerns around community safety, public safety must remain a top priority, she said.

“The challenges of addiction, mental health, and community safety continue to impact our city. While housing is part of the solution, greater access to treatment and recovery services is essential,” Attrill-Knott remarked. “This is a healthcare issue that requires stronger support from the Provincial Government, and Council must continue advocating for meaningful action.”

Other priorities of hers includes seniors, who she says deserve access to appropriate housing and care options that enable them to age with dignity, and protecting ag land.

“Agriculture is a cornerstone of our local economy and identity. “Protecting agriculture and supporting our farming community must remain central to Chilliwack’s future,” Attrill-Knott said. “Building a strong local economy through responsible decision-making supports jobs, attracts investment, and creates opportunities that benefit our entire community.”

She says she’s eager to start campaigning between now and October 17, looking to earn the support of voters once again.

“Experience matters. Proven integrity matters. I am ready to hit the ground running and excited to continue working on behalf of the people of Chilliwack,” Attrill-Knott said.
