Delta’s Southlands farmland fight heats up
This time, the fight over the future of the 217.5-hectare Tsawwassen property is moving to a regional level.
On Friday (March 7), Metro Vancouver’s regional planning and agriculture committee will take up a staff report on a proposed residential and commercial development on the former Spetifore farm.
Delta has requested an amendment to the region’s growth strategy to allow property owner Century Industries Ltd. to build 950 homes and 80,000 square feet of commercial space on a portion of the land.

Huge project. Feels like Delta and Richmond are beginning to develop agricultural land after a pause of several decades. Recent aboriginal treaties and the expected development seemed to tip the balance from preserving the status quo?
