Chilliwack – The Downtown Chilliwack BIA will host its Annual General Meeting on Thursday, June 24, 2021. Due to the restrictions on in-person gatherings, and the concern for the health of our members, this meeting will be held virtually beginning at 5:00pm.
This year’s AGM will be conducted via Zoom Video Conference. All members will be invited to view online, but only pre-registered voters will be able to participate in the discussion, motions and voting.

Each Commercial Property Owner and Business Tenant within the BIA are eligible to receive 1 vote. No individual may hold more than 1 vote, regardless of number of properties or businesses they own.
If members own multiple properties or businesses, they may authorize representatives to register for additional votes. The same applies if the Business Tenant is also the Property Owner, resulting in the opportunity for a second vote.
This years AGM will include a review of the 2020 Financial Statements, a preview of the 2022 operating budget, bylaw amendments and the election to fill vacancies on the Board.
The Board of Directors is made up of 14 Elected members of the BIA – Owners and Tenants – Each voted in for two-year terms to represent the interests of the membership and help guide the Association.
