This morning, the Harrison Hot Springs council has released several new decisions, while advance voting is underway today in both Harrison and the District of Kent. Chilliwack's development agenda and last night's mayoral forum are the other major files to watch.
The strongest local news this morning. Yesterday's massive power failure is also worth following after more than 26,000 Chilliwack customers lost electricity.

New details on the large Yale Road/Airport Road project show it would bring 153 apartments to Chilliwack. Municipal-election activity also accelerates this week, while an incident on the Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge again highlights how vulnerable that crossing is to disruption.

There is no contested mayoral race in either Agassiz/Kent or Hope in 2026. Both mayoral candidates are the sole nominees and will therefore take office by acclamation. In Agassiz, the municipal government is formally the District of Kent.
Today’s local-news cycle features several worthwhile developments. The strongest fresh items are Hope’s municipal-election candidate Q&A, Chilliwack’s revamped food bank, a new Chilliwack film-industry initiative, and the start of a busy October community-events calendar.
