Delta City Hall Should Restore Citizen Committees

Local government is in the name — it is local.

It is supposed to be the level of government closest to the people.

That means residents should have a real voice in how their city is shaped.

Over time, key citizen committees like the Design Advisory Panel, Parks Commission, and Heritage Commission have played an important role in guiding thoughtful development and protecting community values.

When these voices are reduced or sidelined, decisions become less connected to the people they affect.

Better decisions come from broader input, not narrower control.

Leadership is not about making every decision alone.

It is about building strong teams.

Because a team will always make better decisions than any one individual.

One Delta is committed to restoring and strengthening citizen advisory committees in Delta.

If you believe residents deserve a real voice in their city, add your name to the petition today.

I believe Delta must:

✔️ Restore meaningful citizen advisory committees

✔️ Ensure residents have a real voice in shaping their community

✔️ Strengthen transparency and accountability at City Hall

✔️ Bring back balanced, community-driven decision-making

✔️ Recognize that strong cities are built through collaboration, not control
