“I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who sent in a suggestion,” Chilliwack Mayor Ken Popove said.
“Our staff have had a great time going through everyone’s ideas and no matter which name the community chooses, I know it’s going to put smiles on a lot of faces. May the best name win!”
The contest was launched because “‘Unit 1075’ just doesn’t have much of a ring to it,” the city jokingly says.
Locals can vote until midnight on June 18, and the winner will be announced the following day.
