To: Mayor and Council City of Delta COUNCIL REPORT Regular Meeting File No.: 8100-01 From: Parks, Recreation & Culture Depar City of Delta COUNCIL REPORT F.13 Regular Meeting To: Mayor and Council File No.: 8100-01 From: Parks, Recreation & Culture Department Date: July 09, 2021 2021/2022 City of Delta and Community Events Listing The following report has been reviewed and endorsed by the City Manager. ■ RECOMMENDATION: THAT the City of Delta and Community Events Listings for Fall/Winter 2021 (August to December 2021) and 2022 (January to December 2022) be supported. ■ PURPOSE: To provide Council with an update of City of Delta (Delta) and community events for August to December 2021 and January to December 2022. ■ BACKGROUND: In previous correspondence to Mayor and Council, it was advised that Delta and community events would be postponed to August 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Province of British Columbia (BC) is now in Phase 3 of BC's Restart Plan (Plan), which is a careful, four-step process developed to bring BC back together. Under the Plan, Phase 3 allows for in-person gatherings, with fewer restrictions. Phase 3 of the Plan allows for fairs, festivals and community organized events, and can be operated under the guidance of a Communicable Disease Plan. In Phase 3, Delta is now able to resume the process of scheduling Delta and community events. ■ DISCUSSION: Delta's events enrich the lives of residents by providing opportunities for the community to connect and celebrate together. These events contribute to social and economic well­ being, provide valuable volunteer opportunities and build a sense of community, pride and spirit. Residents, while cautious and careful in their approach to gatherings during the pandemic, are now inquiring about events that will bring the community together. The Fall/Winter 2021 (August to December 2021) events listing (Attachment A) and the 2022 (January to December 2022) events listing (Attachment B) will provide Page 2 of 3 2021 /2022 City of Delta and Community Events Listing File No.: 8100-01 July 09, 2021 opportunities to celebrate the openings of some of Delta's newest facilities that were unable to be opened during the panden:iic, including: • North Delta Track & Field Facility • Douglas J. Husband Discovery Centre • North Delta Centre for the Arts In addition, events have been scheduled that will allow for celebrations at Halloween, Remembrance Day and Christmas. The listing of Delta and community events up to the end of December 2022 has been updated, including the largest and most popular corporate and community based events. In 2022, the community can look forward to the return of many popular events including the Boundary Bay Airshow, the Luminary Festival and many other family favourites. The status of BC Superweek is currently unknown. Staff will report separately. While virtual events will wind down as Delta enters Phase 4 of the Plan, Delta staff will continue to develop alternate ways to deliver programs and services for those who may not yet feel comfortable returning to larger gatherings. There is interest from the community for larger and more exciting family oriented and community wide celebrations, which could include music festivals, arts and cultural events and special celebrations. Events would include options for all ages that would celebrate the rich diversity of residents. Implications: COVID-19 Implications - Delta will continue to follow all of the Provincial Health Officer's directions for Step 3 and Step 4 of BC's Restart Plan (once in place). Foundation for the Future Implications - Delta and. community events support The Social Pursuit and Recreation & Community pillars by providing opportunities that encourage recreation and culture, and provide a social support in the community. Financial Implications - The 2021 Financial Plan includes funding for events taking place in the remainder of 2021. The 2022 events will be funded as part of the 2022 Financial Plan. ■ CONCLUSION: Delta continues to navigate the challenges around COVID-19. The planned 2021 events will celebrate the grand openings of new facilities, and will also welcome the community back to regularly scheduled events. The planned 2022 events will provide the community with continued hope for a return to gatherings that will allow residents to celebrate their resilience and strength. Page 3 of 3 2021 /2022 City of Delta and Community Events Listing File No.: 8100-01 July 09, 2021 The City of Delta and community events listings for 2021 and 2022 will be updated on a regular basis, and Mayor and Council will continue to receive personal invitations to major events and gatherings.

  • REVISED 2018 Priority List
    Delta HUB – 2018 Cycling Priorities: City of Delta TOP NETWORK “GAPS” 1. Location: River Road West, Ladner (46A St to Brunswick Point) Why? Popular recreational route between Ladner Village and Wellington Point (City of Delta park), Westham Island and Brunswick Point. Significant tourism potential to destinations including Reiffel Bird Sanctuary and the Tsawwassen Ferry Ladner Village Terminal. Route to Westham Island Bridge is compromised by: - High mix of local and industrial vehicular activity. - Narrow width of roadway, crumbling edges in several spots, and blind spots due to S-curve turns. - Major interruptions to the dike top path due to private ownership, mix of residential and business uses, and a gate Brunswick between village and 46A St. Point Priority: Repave/widen River Road West. In consultation with area stakeholders, add a 2-directional multi-use path in the available northern right-of-way west of Ladner Reach properties. 2. Location: 12 Ave (between 56 St and 53A St), Tsawwassen Why? Create an east-west “spine” in Tsawwassen along 12 Ave for recreational and community cycling (Beach Grove Rd to English Bluff). Help fulfill the 12 Ave “Main Street” vision of the Tsawwassen Area Plan, while supporting South Delta Business Sustainability Strategy. 12 Ave is currently characterized by: - on-road shared cycling facilities from Beach Grove Rd to 56 St, and from 53A St to English Bluff Rd (sufficient width for bike lanes) - narrowing of roadway in the Town Centre area, between 56 and 53A St. - forthcoming intersection improvements at 12 Ave and 56 St (in conjunction with development of Southlands project) - anticipated changes to Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall (in conjunction Town with plans being developed by Century Group).

    F.09 The Corporation of Delta COUNCIL REPORT Regular Meeting To: Mayor and Council File No.: Heritage C.7 From: Community Planning & Development Department Date: January 18, 2017 Nominations for New Stop of Interest Signs The following report has been reviewed and endorsed by the Chief Administrative Officer. • RECOMMENDATION: THAT the following sites in Delta be nominated for submission to the provincial Stop of Interest signage program: Boundary Bay Airport, Cammidge Residence, the Fraser River, Historic Ladner Village, Kennedy Trail, "Recognition Area" (or sewqweqsen) and Westham Island. • PURPOSE: •I: The purpose of this report is to present for Council's consideration seven historic sites in Delta for nomination to the provincial Stop of Interest signage program. • BACKGROUND: The following is an excerpt from the Stop of Interest signage program website: The Stop of Interest signage program was introduced in 1958 as a British Columbia Centennial project. Most of the signs erected at that time related to themes of settlement, industry or transportation within British Columbia. Since the start of the program, 164 signs have been installed throughout all regions of the province, often as initiatives associated with the celebration of national or provincial anniversaries. Stop of Interest signs are intended to provide a familiar, durable and highly-visible roadside format for the interpretation of people, places and events that shaped British Columbia. One of the fundamental objectives of historic commemoration is to give everyone an opportunity to reflect on the people, places and events which have helped to mould the heritage shared by British Columbians. Be Stop of Interest Signage Program History, http://engage.gov.bc.ca/stopsofinterestlhistory/# Currently, the only Stop of Interest sign in Delta is located near Gunderson Slough and contains a brief description of the salmon canning industry (Attachment A).
