Candidate for Chilliwack City Council
Brent Bowker
Let me introduce myself. I am a father of two young boys, a husband, and an outdoorsy energy sector professional who is committed to making a positive impact in Chilliwack. In my career, I’ve project managed and helped sell multi-million dollar IT deployments for leading electric utility and real estate companies across Canada, the United States, and Australia.
Born and raised on a farm, I bring a grounded, practical perspective to civic life — one that bridges rural values and modern business acumen.
On October 17, 2026 I would be honoured if you would consider voting for me to serve my community as a City Councillor.
I’m committed to continuing the momentum our City has right now, ensuring we remain strong and united. Let’s work together to shape a future full of opportunity, safety, and pride for generations to come.
Thank you,
