@YVRbus Viv- what a great picture. Three kids. Yes I can imagine. Coming down the river in 1870. It couldn’t have been a whole lot of fun! Lots of great stories about AC Wells. Thanks for posting this.
Sometimes I wonder what my g g gramma would think about #Chilliwack#District1881. She came as a widow in 1870 & was part of the group of farmers who started the #Dairyland co-op. She borrowed $5k at 12% to expand her farm, unheard of for women then. A true female innovator!
@sharongaetz Funnily enough, Jane’s son John Allen Evans (aka Al- sound familiar?) was the Reeve of the Township for many years. I think they would both be amazed at how downtown has been revived. You did a great job.
Municipalities are being asked to build, build, build without the necessary resources or infrastructure. @FCM_online commissioned new research that estimates the average cost of municipal infrastructure to support new housing in the country is $107,000 per home. That's why the Federation of Canadian Municipalities is proposing a Municipal Growth Framework to ensure cities have the tools we need to build liveable communities.
We need a framework that recognizes our role in building and maintaining public infrastructure and provides us with the necessary resources. I urge our provincial and federal counterparts to listen work with us to create a Municipal Growth Framework that ensures our communities can thrive.

hello out there @sharongaetz - hope you are well - fond memories of days and plans of building that brewery @MolsonCoors in @City_Chilliwack - cheers to a great start to 2023 Sharon !
@hoosenwatson Douse them in gifted bottles of ice wine, mount them on warped Tupperware lids you’ve saved, light them afire & set them adrift on Sardis Pond. The beauty! The majesty!
@CHWKcommunity@hoosenwatson Oh Jessica - You know Freda well - in 1999 I was trying to get her to broaden her musical proclivities. She was a big Tommy Hunter fan - But when introduced to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Backstreet Boys she finally found a reason to ditch the bra she bought at Saans.
