Mammoth Mural Highlight Of Successful Art Show APPROVED TOWNSHIP OF CHILLIWACK A MESSAGE FROM THE COUNCIL TO ALL RESIDENTS OF THE MUNICIPALITY In this Centennial year, we expect a record number of visitors in our valley. The Municipal Council is therefore asking the co-operation of all residents in carrying out a special project to improve the appearance of the community. Removal of weed growth will make property look more attractive, particularly in residential areas; and the elimination of weeds will increase the productivity of farms.

It will also help greatly if residents will tidy up their premises by removing auto bodies or a other discarded materials which may be cluttering the landscape. There are municipal by laws which can be used to enforce the clearing of premises which are particularly unsightly, but the Council would much prefer it if all residents would voluntarily make a special effort to keep their property looking its best.
