CHILLIWACK — A Chilliwack non-profit whose mission is to provide a variety of support services for older adults in Chilliwack has hired three new staff to help sustain its mission and programs.

Adrianna Kerkhoff, retired Chilliwack city employee Janice McMurray, and retired Surrey city employee Marcia Hannay have joined Chilliwack-based Compassionate Neighbourhood Health Partners Society as part-time staff.
