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). Page 2 of 3 Nominations for New Stop of Interest Signs Heritage C.7 January 18, 2017 • DISCUSSION: In the fall of 2016, the province, through the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, requested nominations for people, places or events of provincial significance for commemoration under the Stop of Interest signage program. This request was forwarded to the Heritage Advisory Commission who reviewed potential sites at their November 2 and December 14, 2016 meetings (Attachment B). Based on input from the Commission and staff, the following seven sites are recommended for nomination: 1. Boundary Bay Airport There are several points of interest at the Boundary Bay Airport including the Boundary Bay Airport Cenotaph, Air Cadet Commemorative Pathway, Hangar #3 and Vancouver Wireless Community (Pages 1 - 5 of Attachment C). 2. Cammidge Residence Located at entrance to the Boundary Bay Regional Park, the Cammidge Residence represents the development of Boundary Bay as an agricultural area (Pages 6 - 7 of Attachment C). 3. The Fraser River There are several potential locations for a sign (e.g ., along River Road or near the waterfront trail at the end of Huston Road when complete) to highlight how the Fraser River has shaped the communities of Delta (Page 8 of Attachment C). 4. Historic Ladner Village There are several points of interest within the historic Ladner Village and retained heritage buildings that represent the settlement of Ladner at the head of Chilukthan Slough (Ladner's Landing) (Page 9 of Attachment C). 5. Kennedy Trail A sign along River Road in the area of the original Kennedy Trail could document one of the earliest settlers in North Delta (Page 10 of Attachment C). Delta also has an interpretive sign on the Kennedy Trail in front of Gibson's Elementary School on 90 Avenue (Page 11 of Attachment C) . 6. "Recognition Area" (sawqweqsan) Located under Alex Fraser Bridge, the "Recognition Area" (sawqweqsan ) is culturally important to several First Nations. It also marks an important time in the European settlement of Annieville in North Delta, which was supported by a successful fishing and fish processing industry (Page 12 of Attachment C). 7. Westham Island There are several points of interest on Westham Island including the Westham Island Bridge and the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary (Page 13 of Attachment C). Page 3 of 3 Nominations for New Stop of Interest Signs Heritage C.7 January 18, 2017 The nomination period closes on January 31, 2017, after which, ministry staff will evaluate the submissions received. If Council endorses the recommendation of this report at their January 30, 2017 Regular Meeting, staff will submit the applications online on January 31,2107. The Heritage Advisory Commission also recommended that Burns Bog, which is on the Municipal Heritage Register (Pages 14 - 15 on Attachment C), be nominated; however, staff do not suggest including this site as there is no public access, on-site parking or road access to the majority of Burns Bog. Implications: Financial Implications - There are no financial implications to nominate a site. Signs are provided by the province. • CONCLUSION: It is recommended that The Corporation of Delta participate in the provincial Stop of Interest signage program by submitting the following historic sites for nomination: Boundary Bay Airport, Cammidge Residence, the Fraser River, Historic Ladner Village, Kennedy Trail, "Recognition Area" (or sewqweqsen) and Westham Island.

Declaration of Committee Name: Hailey Venn Degree: Master of Arts Thesis title: Dumping Like a State: An Environmental History of the City of Vancouver Landfill in Delta, 1958 – 1981 Committee: Chair: Sarah Walshaw Senior Lecturer, History Tina Adcock Supervisor Assistant Professor, History Joseph E. Taylor III Co-supervisor Professor, History Nicolas Kenny Committee Member Associate Professor, History Arn Keeling Examiner Associate Professor, Geography Memorial University of Newfoundland ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract In 1966, the City of Vancouver opened a new landfill in Burns Bog, in the nearby municipality of Delta. This is an environmental history of its creation and first sixteen years of operation. Although the landfill resembled other high modernist projects in postwar Canada, this thesis argues it is best understood as an example of “mundane modernism.” The landfill’s planning and operation aligned with broader contemporary American and Canadian practices of cost-effective waste disposal. It was an unspectacular project to which Deltans offered little initial resistance. Officials therefore had no need to demonstrate technoscientific expertise to manufacture citizens' consent. Yet the landfill soon posed environmental nuisances and hazards to Delta’s residents, including leachate, the liquid waste a landfill produces.

  • A History of Settler Place-Making in Burns Bog, British Columbia

    A History of Settler Place-Making in Burns Bog, British Columbia

    From Reclamation to Conservation: A History of Settler Place-Making in Burns Bog, British Columbia By: Cameron Butler Supervised by: Catriona Sandilands A Major Paper Submitted to the Faculty of Environmental Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada August 31, 2019 Abstract Wetlands are, in the Canadian settler imaginary, ambiguous spaces that are neither strictly landmasses nor only bodies of water. This paper explores how Canadian settler-colonialism has incorporated wetlands into systems of land ownership and control by tracing the history a specific wetland, a peat bog known as Burns Bog since the 1930s in the area settlers call Delta, British Columbia. Given its presence as one of the largest wetlands in the region, settlers failed to drain the bog in its entirety. As a result, the bog persisted throughout the history of settlers’ presence on the west coast and has been subjected to waves of settler approaches, making it an ideal case study to consider how ongoing settler-colonialism has shaped, and continues to shape, wetlands. Previous historical works on wetlands in Canada and the United States have documented how early settlers, through to roughly the mid-twentieth century, worked to “reclaim” wetlands and transform them into arable land. However, these accounts have often neglected to continue their analysis of settler-colonialism beyond this period and have, as a result, treated settlers’ more contemporary views of wetlands -- as ecologically valuable ecosystems that need to be conserved or restored -- as a break in colonial dynamics. This research intervenes in this existing body of work by treating shifting practices towards wetlands as successive stages in efforts to incorporate wetlands into settler-colonial logics.

    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.

    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).
