The Turn of the Tide

Hello friends and neighbours,

Do you feel it? That first, vital drop of hope—the weight of a tipping point finally reached. Because of your resilience, your refusal to accept "good enough," and your unwavering belief that we can do better, the walls of City Hall echo with the voices of Deltans.

This is your victory.

Today's Optimist reports that City Councillor Daniel Boisvert has publicly withdrawn support for the town square development after reviewing community feedback—with indications that Councillor Dylan Kruger may follow. Let me be clear: This happened because of you. You signed petitions. You rallied. You fought for what was right, even when it was uncomfortable. You inspired others to find their voices. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you.

Now, the road ahead remains long and uncertain, we have a lot of work to do. But let today prove something: When ordinary people stand together—when we demand our voices be heard—even the most entrenched powers must listen.

This was never just about saying "no." It was about proving that Delta's future must be built by Deltans, for Deltans. That we deserve a seat at the table. As our movement echoes across our province and nation, we're reminded that our future rests in our own hands. This is our moment to rise to the occasion—to put in the hard work and build the better tomorrow we know is possible.

With elected officials beginning to acknowledge this development isn't right for our community, we now have our opportunity to define what is. This is our chance to collaborate, to inspire other communities, and to make Delta a shining example of what's possible when we come together to build with care and passion.

So stand tall today, chin help up a little higher, not just with pride, but in renewed resolve. The tide is turning.
