As of 2019, Fraser Cascade School District pays its trustees about $21,500, vice chair $22,500, and board chair $24,500. Its salary increases are also tied to inflation. It covers Agassiz, Hope and the small surrounding communities, and has an enrolment of about 2,200 students.

Other municipal elected officials in Chilliwack make considerably more. Chilliwack city councillors earn approximately $43,000 with some benefits; Fraser Valley Regional District board members who are not elected officials from a specific city or municipality receive approximately $36,000, like a director from a specific electoral area.

Cultus Lake Park Board commissioners earn a base of about $15,000 a year, but there is additional pay for vice chair or board chair due to their additional responsibilities; the park board chair has a remuneration similar to the base salary of a Chilliwack school board trustee.

The Chilliwack mayor earns approximately $122,000 a year.
