Planted in Delta in 2017, this descendant of the oaks from Vimy Ridge was a gift from the Hon. Carla Qualtrough. It stands in Memorial Park as a living tribute to the courage & sacrifice of Canadians who fought for our freedom.

Agriculture is central to Delta’s economy and community. I joined the Honourable Heath MacDonald, Federal Minister of Agriculture, the Honourable Lana Popham, BC Minister of Agriculture and Food, and Ian Paton, MLA for Delta South, for a tour and roundtable on the future of farming.

Small Business Week is about recognizing the entrepreneurs who drive Canada’s economy. Alpine Air at Boundary Bay Airport is a great example of small business growth in Delta. Our government is helping businesses grow, compete, and lead with new tools and support. #DeltaBC

This Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for the people who support me and for the chance to call Delta and Canada home. I’m also thankful for our Veterans. Your sacrifices, including time away from family, allow us to enjoy moments like this. Thank you. 🧡

On Saturday we celebrated 50 years of GCT Vanterm. For half a century, GCT Vanterm and Deltaport have anchored Canada's Asia Pacific Gateway, connecting us to the world. This milestone belongs to the workers, families, and communities whose dedication keeps trade moving.

This summer we met with stakeholders, including Minister Gregor Robertson, on non-market housing. Build Canada Homes launches with $13B to deliver 500,000 homers/year, using Canadian materials and workers. This government is building differently.

This summer, #CanadaSummerJobs created 175 youth jobs in Delta, bringing over $700K in local benefits. I was glad to meet young staff from the Boys and Girls Club and Delta Chamber of Commerce, seeing how CSJ is helping them grow and contribute to the community.

Backroads Market is in full swing this season, and it’s the perfect spot for fresh corn and berries.
Here in Delta, we are lucky to have dedicated farmers supporting our community. Let’s keep them thriving by buying fresh, buying Canadian. Supporting small farms means supporting our community

Buy Local, Buy Delta! I grabbed my last box of blueberries from Didar Farms today. Agriculture is a key industry in Delta, and local farmers make sure fresh food reaches our tables every day. Enjoy these berries before the season ends!

Delta Pride matters every day. This week I joined the first Pride Dog Walk in Ladner, where pets and families filled the village with colour, and the Pride Picnic at Memorial Park with music, food trucks and community. Our community and our country are strongest when we are united #DeltaPride #Pride
