TheCityof Delta has beendoingits part to play a key roleingrowinganddiversifyingtheprovince’s economic growth.
That wasthemessage conveyed at the Stateofthe City EconomicBreakfastheld Tuesday(Sept.16) at Cascades Casino Delta,organized by the Delta Chamberof Commerceinconjunction withthe City of Delta, gathering businessandcommunityleaders to engage inmeaningful dialogueonthefutureof economicdevelopmentin Delta.
Theopening remarksconveyed similarmessages onthecity’s positiveactionstrying to facilitate growth from Delta Chamberof Commerce Executive Director Richard Wischnewski, Tsawwassen First Nation Chief Laura Cassidyand Delta SouthMLA Ian Paton.
The eventalsofeatured guest speakers Mayor George Harvie, Jason Tonin, Executive VicePresident, Land Development, for Beedie, BC Real Estate Association EconomistAmit Sandhu,and Dr. Saad Dara, co-founderandCEOof Mangrove Lithium.
All had positivemessages aboutthecity’s open-forbusiness approach,as wellaswhat’s currently happeninginthe economic sceneand challenges.
Harvie outlined many ofthecity’songoinginitiativesincluding streamliningthecreation of new housing, notinghousinggrowth must meet economic growth,anddescribed howitisimportant to have activeengagement with businessonwhere Deltais headed.
Noting currentprojectsincluding Beedie’s Parkwood IndustrialEstatesdevelopmentaretransformativeinvestmentswhich willcreate thousands of jobs, Harvie laterduring thequestion-and-answer
sessionofthe event, reiterated that anothertremendousopportunity awaits at the site ofthe Vancouver Landfillwhenit closes.
Sidhutalked aboutthe economic, labour and real estate sceneswhichfaceuncertainty due to U.S. tariffs,notingthehousing market’s outlookis positive once economicuncertainty is eased,opening-up pent-updemand.
He noted Delta’s real estate market has seen recovery butis still volatile, with sales activityanticipated to pickupin2026 withatariff resolution.
Notingtheindustrial realestate marketisshowing signsof resilienceandgrowthafter a slowdown due to theuncertainty as wellas capital costs, Tonin talked abouthowthey have had positiveexperiences with Delta staffwho have shownthey immediately want to work on solutionsifany potential challenges areforeseen.
He pointed outhow Beedie hascreated morethan $2billioninindustrialproducton340 acresin vari-

Dara described how his company plans to open second Delta-based lithiumprocessing facilityas geopoliticalshiftsdrivedemand to secure a Western lithium supply, ratherthan rely on China. Thenew facility will be capable ofproducing20,000 tonnes perannumof battery-gradelithium,enough to power morethan500,000electric vehiclesannually.
“Thethingthat we were most attracted by wasthe ability to permitthoughthecityof Delta. That was oneofthethings ouradvisors toldus,that thisisthe jurisdiction wherethings can getdonefaster…The thingthat isholdingus back in terms ofa drawback wasthe ability to get peoplehere. So, transit. In terms of attractingmoreinvestmentand attracting more jobs,Ithinkifa balance can be metin keepingthe permittingprocessandtheconstruction processas smoothasit has, alongsideimprovingtransitand allowing people to gethere without having to drive, that would suit Delta really well,” Dara added.

DP4 would be afourth berthconnected to the existingfacility.
GCTisalso urgingthe Governmentof Canada to placeDP4on theProjectsof National Interest List, citing its critical rolein strengthening Canada’s supply chainsanddrivingprivate-sectorinvestment.
In anews release, GCT noted theproject representsexactlythe kind of strategic,privately fundedprojectthat aligns withthefederal government’svisionfor economiccompetitiveness and cleangrowth.
“Prime Minister Carney has seta clear directionfor Canada: invest in infrastructure that unlocksprivate capital,drivesinnovation,and positions our countryfor long-term success,” said Eric Waltz, PresidentandCEOof GCT.
“AddingDP4 to the Projectsof National Interest List would demonstratefederal leadershipandprovide thecertainty we need to advanceoneofthemost importantprivate-sectorledtrade infrastructure investmentsin Canada,”
GCTsaysitsDP4 expansion is designedto incrementallyincrease container capacitywhile minimizingenvironmentalimpacts andmaximizing economicbenefits.
he said.
TheDP4planisacompetingproposal against the VancouverFraser Port Authority’s (VFPA) planned Roberts Bank Terminal2(RBT2)project.
In 2023, that major three-berthcontainer expansion wasgiventhe greenlight by thefederal governmentafter a lengthy review over several years.
The B.C. government also gave its go-ahead laterthat year.
It is to be builton a new man-madeisland adjacent to the current Deltaport containerfacility.
Whilefinal approvals are still pending, the port authoritythis year saidit issued a requestforqualificationsfora landmass andwharfcomponentof theproject. Additional procurement willalso takeplaceincludingin the late-2020s to select theoperatorthat will build, equipandoperate thenew terminal.
The port authority had stated that T2 would not be operated by GCT, but a separate operator chosen by the port authority.
The latest timeline by the port hastheproject startingoperationsinthe mid-2030s.
Whiletheir public back-and-forth has cooledoff, The VFPA and GCT had beenina war of words, with GCT sayingits ownconstruction timeline wouldonly be aboutfour years because they would be building ona much smallerfootprint, whileminimizing environmentalimpacts and maximizing economic benefits.
In a statement followingthe2023announcement by the feds, GCT respondedthat the approval camedespite significantoppositionandconcerns from Environmentand Climate Change Canada, labour,community groupsand many others.

E-CommcalltakerstakeonTourdeCoastforchildhoodcancer
TwoofE-Comm’s very own police andfire calltakers Tsawwassen’s Colton BoreenandAlex Emeny will be participatingin Tourde Coastanannual fundraiserwhere police agenciesand emergency service personnel cyclefor eight days.
Boreenis part ofthe support crew, while Emeny will be ridingmore than 800kmalongthecoastof B.C. in support of childrenandfamiliesaffected by cancer.
The event carriesdeep personal meaningfor Boreenand Emeny.
At just four yearsold, Boreen was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. What followed was a yearof chemotherapy at BC Children’s Hospital, multiplemisdiagnoses,and groundbreaking surgery to remove mostofhislefthip boneand sacrum to prevent recurrence.
Now,25 years laterand cancer-free, he says hefeelsadeep senseofgratitude.
“I’moneoftheonly people inthe world to have hadthat surgery. Every dayisa reminderofhowfortunateIam to still be here,” said Boreen. His survivorship hasshaped his pas-
sionforadvocacy.
He attended Camp Goodtimesin 2001, received the2022 Terry Fox Gold Medal Awardfrom SFU, andcontinues to sharehis story at events to raise awareness about childhood cancer.
This year, Colton will be part ofthe support crew,helping riders behindthe-scenes to make sure everything
runssmoothly.
“Steppinginto this roleis outsideof my comfort zone, butit’s important to me to connect with survivors, families, andfirst responderswhoareall part ofthis journey,”he said. “The support I’ve received has been overwhelming, and I’m so grateful. Thefunds raised will make a realdifferencefor kidsand
familiesfacing cancer.”
Building camaraderieonthe road Asafire calltaker, Emeny works closely withotherfirst responders over thephone, but Tourde Coastoffers a uniqueopportunity to connectin personandshareanexperiencethat unites everyoneforabigger cause.
That sense of camaraderieiswhat drewhim to the event, buthealso sees itasa personal challenge anda way to give back.
“It’sthetrifectaforme: raisingfunds and awarenessfor childhood cancer research, pushing myself to ride800 kmacrossthecoast, and being able to connect with partner agenciesin person,” said Emeny. “To rideshoulder-toshoulder with otherfirst responders, all working toward the same goal,is really special. It remindsmethat while we mayplay different roles, we’reall part of the same team.”
Overthe past fewmonths, Boreen and Emeny have been busy supportingthe Tourde Coast in every waythey can, by attendingcommunity events to raise awareness, volunteering at Camp Goodtimesandorganizingfundraisers to help their team reach its goals.

Now25-years-oldand cancer free,he still hasa senseofgratitudeand purpose to give back and supportthosewho supported himandhisfamily intheir cancer journey.
Andthat iswhat Cops for Cancerisall about–a journeyoflove, care, support andgiving back to kidswhoareinafight fortheirlives.
Copsfor Cancershowsthat those kids are notalone.
If you seethe riders outand about, give thema wave,show your supportandshow themthat their ride matters too.
hequest for perfectionin Tsawwassenis relentless. The ironyisthat no one canadequately describe what that perfectionis.
In the case ofhousingthere area multitudeofopinionsof what we don’t want but there islittleinthe wayof solutions that make senseother than the obvious oneswhichare to buildhousingin appropriately zonedareas within our Official Community Plan. Some peopledon’t want height butalsodon’t want infill.
Oneminute gentledensity isa good idea butthenext minutetheideaofafourplex being builtnext to a singlefamilyhomeisoffensive.
Many constantlycomplain about parking, trafficand congestion,which seems to indicatethat many ofus care more about cars than we do abouthousing choice. That is unfortunate.
Community Comment
The “character”that many in South Delta wish to preserveisthe same character that will eventually strangle usif we don’tadapt. Wellmaintained single-family neighbourhoods arelovely so let’s keep themthat way by puttingdensitywhereit should be.
The revision to the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall application willlikely be beforecouncil soon.
Hopefullythat revision will address someoftheconcerns aboutheightanddensity. Apparently in a so-called housingcrisis,less housing will bebetter, yet you can be sure, no matterwhat, some will hate it.
Some have been advocatingconsideringdeveloping farmlandasanalternative. Thiscomes at atimewhen 70 percentofthe public,of all political stripes, support theideaof maintainingand enhancingtheALR.
One such proposalfloatingaroundinthecommunity includesthe75acresofproductiveorganic soil-based farmland at thecornerof Hwy.17and56th Street.
Thankfullythecity purchased some key lands such asthese to hedge against sprawl and maintainthe farmlandthat South Deltais famousfor.
Thisisthe real character and backboneof South Delta that needs to be protected.

Wouldlove to see this popular pathway paved
Editor:
I seethat thecityof Deltaisdoingaccessibilityupgrades perthe articleinthe Aug. 21st editionofthe Optimist.
Iamhopingthis same committee canlook at the walkwaythat runs alongtheFraser River starting behindthe4800 block of48th Avenue. The pathalongthe river isoneof my favourite places to walk. Many people run, walkand bikealongthe path.
This last yearIfell and had several major
fractures.Afteralmost a yearofphysiotherapy, I amnow walking with a walker.
The river pathis hard surfaceandgravel. For people with walkers, itis difficult to walkon,and yourarms becomeshock absorbersas you bump overthe surface.
I occasionallymeet another man witha walker,and we have discussed howdifficultitisforus.
He saidthatat onetime there had beenplans to pave it, butthey’d been rejected.
I have never seen a wheelchairin years of walks.
Walking pathsarethe safest wayfor seniors to getexercise. Numerous seniors have walkersin my building, they all sayit’s toodifficult withthe rough terrain. Sidewalks have drivewaysandcracks.
Havingthat path paved would be a greatconvenience to thoseofus with disabilities, struggling to cope withfallsandinjuriesandtrying to avoid additionalfalls.

The regionaldistrict must first remove park dedicationofthose lands which can be achieved by wayofa bylaw, but theadoptionofthe bylaw by the Metro boardfirst requires approvalofthe electors, which can be obtained by meansof analternative approval process.

pmelnychuk@delta-optimist.com
Anew party runninginthecityelectionsnext year says it will spendmore on police,andalsolowerproperty taxes.
The Conservative Electors Association recently was registered by Elections BC in15citiesaroundthe province, with Delta beingoneofthem.
David Denhoff,financial agent with theassociation, saidthe party will ensure police have “the resourcesand support” to keepcommunities safe.
“A lotof peoplelove Delta because inthe past,it’s been saferthanother areas, butcrimeisticking up. Only Conservative mayors andcouncillors willdeliver safer streetsforfolksin Delta.”
Conservativesalso will lowerproperty taxes,he said.
“Propertytaxesin Deltaincreased by6.75 percentthis year-that’s nearly $200moreinproperty taxesforthe averagehousehold,” said Denhoff.
“That’s a significanthitwhenfamilies
arealready struggling with rising grocerypricesandhomeinsurancecosts.”
Voters want elected officials to lower taxesanddo so ina responsible way, he added.
Theorganization will have candidates underthe Conservative bannerand likely be runningin Deltaduringthe civicelection, Oct. 17,2026.
Applicationsfor candidates haven’t opened yet but Denhoff saidthere’s been “significant” interest in Delta,and heexpects “a strong groupof applicants.”
The Conservative Electors Associationthoughis separate from federalorprovincial Conservative parties.
Denhoffaddedthat it’s common for volunteersand candidates to be involved withother parties but wanted to emphasize that theassociationis completelyindependent from senior parties.
He doesn’t seethe party splitting the right-of-centre vote sayingthe party gives voters “a clear, conservative choice theyknowandtrust.”

According to FortisBC, gas absorptionheat pump technology can helpcommercialand industrialorganizations lowerannualoperational costsand reduceenergy useand overallgreenhouse gas(GHG)emissions.
Whilethe technology has beenused in Europe foracoupleofdecades, it’s relativelynew to the B.C. market, FortisBC notes,addingit ran a pilotprogramfrom20192020 to test gas absorptionheat pumpsin seven commercial buildings across B.C.
That pilotdemonstrated a 35 percent reductioninenergy use, and survey respondents all saidthey’d recommend the technology to others.

TheCityof Delta’s 2025 Financial Plan has $400,000 budgeted in an ongoingprogram to support greenhouseGHG emissions reduction within somecivic buildings.

Keyfindingsinclude transportationcosts can rival,and sometimes exceed,housingcosts,
“Housingcoststhe average Metro Vancouver household$22,000 per year,whiletransportationcosts$19,000. In severalmember jurisdictions,however– Maple Ridge, Langley Township, LangleyCity, Port Coquitlamand Delta –transportationcosts exceed housingcosts,on average,”the report notes.

The Lightofthe World
These past few weeks have beendifficultones. Botharoundthe world and closer to home,it seemsthat darkness is consumingthe world aroundus. Warand shootings ringout so cruelly yet so frequently, it makesone wonder, “Is thereanyhope at all?”
Asa Christian,Iknow withallconfidence thereisahope, alove anda peacethat cannot be shaken. Thisis becauseofthe peaceof God,which surpassesall understanding, found in Jesus Christ alone.
Jesus said “I AM the Lightofthe world. Whoeverfollows Me will not walkin darkness but will have thelightoflife.”
When we consider this text along with His additional words: “In this world you will have

tribulation. Buttake heart; I have overcome the world,” we are left withafullerunderstanding: The worldisfilled with darkness, yet we don’t have to fear today or tomorrow.
You seewhile His declarationsare pure doctrine(truthproposi-
tionally stated),theyare also purely practicaland deeply personal.
But Jesusisn’t just informingusthat the darknessisallaroundus, so we ought to walk with Him, He’s alsoalertingus to the darkness withinus.
Butthe gospel, which means “goodnews”, is that He came to liberate usfrom both.
He came to set captives free fromtheir sin, which so easily ensnares. He came to be theone andonly sacrificefor our sin, so we could have our sins atonedforandlive everlastinglyin Hislight. Iimplore you to come to Jesusand He willgive you rest.
Whoevercomes to Him, He says He will never cast out, but instead, willforeverlive in Hislightoflife.
