History

On 26 April 1873, the "Corporation of the Township of Chilliwhack" (note the variant spelling) became one of the first municipalities incorporated by the Province of British Columbia. The first Township Council meeting took place on in the Sumas schoolhouse on 10 June 1873. The council was made up of six councillors, including John McCutcheon, who was elected the Township's first Warden. [15] [16] On 20 February 1908, the area that was then known as Chilliwack, i.e., the subdivision within the greater Chilliwhack Township, was incorporated as the City of Chilliwack under the Chilliwack City Incorporation Act of 1908. The City of Chilliwack and the Township of Chilliwhack co-existed as separately administered municipalities until 1980. [17]

On 1 January 1980, the Township of Chilliwhack and the City of Chilliwack amalgamated to form a single municipality styled the District of Chilliwack 6 months after holding plebiscites in both municipalities. The referenda passed with 90 percent support in the City and 62 percent support in the Township. [18] On 16 July 1999, the District of Chilliwack, once again, was renamed the City of Chilliwack. [19]

Elections

General local elections are held every four years, with general voting day in the third Saturday in October. [20]

1984 results

The 1984 election, which was held on 17 November, was a transitional one because of the measures passed by referenda in 1983 to (1) hold general elections every two years instead of holding staggered elections every year, and (2) reduce the number of aldermen from eight to six. Previously, aldermen were elected to a two-year term, and half of the aldermanic seats would be up for election each year. Following the 1983 referendum, council members would still be elected for two-year terms, however the 1984 cohort was elected to a foreshortened term to bring them in line with the other members.
