The pandemic has impacted Chilliwack just as hard as any community around the world.
British Columbians continue to work hard to bring COVID-19’s second wave back down. Full vaccination is still some time away, but an end to this inconceivable time in our lives does grow closer.

The Chilliwack Progress extends a call to action. We would like to dedicate space in upcoming issues at least until Christmas Day to personal messages from family to seniors who are in isolation. These should be no more than 50 words and can be addressed to a specific person or people, or general sentiments.
Submit your messages of love and care to editor@theprogress.com or via our website at www.theprogress.com.
This holiday season especially, we want to ensure no one is forgotten. Please join us!
