Why it’s critical to the WCCRP
Chilliwack is the final convergence point before major bottlenecks, where transportation and energy corridors compress into limited pathways, amplifying disruption impacts.
Resiliency Infrastructure Investment
Chilliwack’s Integrated Flood Hazard Management Plan highlights the importance of the extensive 50 km diking network to protect the community and critical infrastructure from floods.
The City has a proven track record of completing diking and drainage upgrade projects, but has not had sufficient funding to upgrade the remaining 25% of dike that still requires significant raising to meet current provincial standards.
One of the City’s major drainage pump stations has also reached end-of-life and requires full replacement.
Reliable funding assistance is essential to carrying out the required flood mitigation projects that will then support community flood resilience and critical infrastructure protection.
