UFV announced last month that it would once again be expanding its presence, this time in historical downtown Chilliwack. However, unlike the rigorously planned new building at Canada Education Park, this development came as an unexpected turn of events when the Bank of Montreal (BMO) decided to donate their unused building to the university.
The building, located on Chilliwack’s five corners, joins the project to redevelop and better the heart of Chilliwack’s downtown core. By donating the building to UFV instead of putting it on the market, the university’s presence will now be a part of that redevelopment.
