Chilliwack, BC – Experience mattered in the Chilliwack School Board By-Election to replace the late Martha Weins.
Bob Patterson, the former teacher and school district administrator was never in doubt of winning as he easily won the race with 833 votes. (The numbers, counted electronically, showed that within 15 minutes of the polls closing, this was a done deal).
Second place went to Chilliwack Symphony Director Paula DeWit. Her campaign was heavy-up on Social Media but only managed 197 votes.
The by-election was called following the death of long time trustee Martha Wiens.
1,905 votes cast in the 2015 byelection. Early numbers indicate that this turnout bettered 2013.
