Congrats to our New Mayor Sharon Gaetz Novvember 15 2008

She sure took over the men candidates & so glad she won by such a large number..First time in the history of Chilliwack
& district to have a woman as Mayor.. See our votes counted Shawna & Colton..lol

Wish the Library would be out here in our Sardis area before 2012, need it NOW!

I was glad to see that she won by a landslide, but also disappointed in the number of votes total. That is a low turnout. Over 80,000 people live in our city,I would say at least half are adults able to vote.

I know pretty sad for sure about the people who do not bother to vote.
There are volunteers that would drive people to vote if no transportation.
Really shows a lack of interest & thumbs down to the ones that didn`t
bother to vote ...
