CHILLIWACK — Chilliwack residents and taxpayers alike are invited to weigh in on the City’s 2025-2034 Financial Plan through an interactive survey.

In a news release from the City of Chilliwack Wednesday (Sept. 25), residents can have their say in the financial planning process by visiting engagechilliwack.com/2025Budget. The survey remains open until October 18.

The online survey affords residents and ratepayers with an opportunity to influence the democratic process by contributing to the decisions that impact the City’s upcoming financial plan. The city says input helps council members balance property taxes with a commitment to the long-term sustainability of municipal services.

The City of Chilliwack prepares a 10-year financial plan annually so that residents can provide feedback about how resources are allocated across various sectors, including infrastructure, public services, recreational facilities, and more.

“The 2025 Financial Plan survey is an opportunity for residents to let Council know which services are most important to you,” said Mayor Popove. “As we continue to experience rapid growth, it’s important to hear from as many residents as possible so we can create a financial plan that best serves our diverse community.”

Residents can also access a physical copy of the survey in person at City Hall, 8550 Young Road, and returning it in person or by mail to 8550 Young Road, Chilliwack, BC V2P 8A4, c/o Finance Department.

Residents who have any access needs or additional questions about this survey are asked to contact the city’s finance Department directly at budget@chilliwack.com, or by phone at 604-792-9311.
