Century Group is excited to announce that on Friday, the 23rd of May, the Metro Vancouver Board of Directors approved the Regional Growth Strategy amendment requested by the Corporation of Delta that enables the Southlands plan to become a reality.

We would like to thank the residents of Delta, Mayor Lois Jackson, Delta Council, and the Metro Vancouver Directors for their involvement and leadership in recognizing the unique opportunity the Southlands plan brings to Delta and the Metro Vancouver region.

With this approval in place, it is now an exciting new chapter for Delta. The efforts of the community, the Corporation of Delta and Century Group can now be turned to creating a new type of neighbourhood; one that embraces Delta’s agricultural heritage. 

For the first time in Canada, we have the chance to create a neighbourhood that will integrate a diversity of homes for all generations with a community-owned farm and market square – a legacy that we will all be proud to pass on to our children.

Although ground breaking for the Southlands neighbourhood is still a year or two away there are many ways for those interested in Southlands to stay informed and/or become involved:

• The Cottage Courtyard at Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall is open Saturdays from 11am – 3pm for tours and to provide information on the housing options that will be available at Southlands.
• Earthwise Garden and Farm @ the Heart of Southlands has their Farm Store open to the public every Wednesday from 3pm-6pm & Saturday from 10am-2pm (6400 3^rd Ave – Look for the Red Barn)
• The second annual Southlands Bike-In& BBQ will take place Sunday, 7 September. The public is invited to join in the bike parade to Southlands where the gates will be opened for everyone to explore the land and enjoy a fun-filled day on the farm.  All are welcome.
