Chilliwack – NOTE – FVN is aware of this video but will NOT post the content.
NOVEMBER 14 UPDATE from Chilliwack Mayor Jason Lum: Like many in Chilliwack, I’ve been deeply disturbed by the recent violence involving young people and the footage circulating online.
As a father and uncle to children around the same age, it’s horrible to witness that level of violence, and my heart goes out to the victim.
I was in contact with the RCMP shortly after the incident was reported, and the investigation remains ongoing. I encourage anyone with information to contact the RCMP and reference police file #2026-50066.
Over the last three days, I’ve heard from residents sharing painful experiences of childhood bullying and violence, often with lifelong consequences.
I’ve been tagged in numerous Facebook discussions. I understand the outrage, but commenting on every post won’t address the underlying problems.
So, what am I doing as Mayor?
On Monday, I’ll be meeting with a group of parents and youth to hear their concerns directly. I believe my time is better spent listening, understanding where our systems are falling short, and committing to working with community partners on practical solutions.
I agree, we need earlier intervention, support for victims, and accountability, and we also need to remember that these are children. Sharing names, making threats, and repeatedly circulating footage of the violence won’t make anyone safer.
