Can we create an active farming community?

What would it mean for Tsawwassen to own a major part of Southlands as a local farm? Self-sufficiency? Health? A connection to the land? Southlands will give us community gardens and multi-acre farms connected to homes and workspaces.

The working development plan for Southlands preserves the majority of land as open space and farmland. A community trust ensures its use for local food production and supports a new generation of farmers. It combines varied scales of agriculture, contributes to community and economic vitality, and gives us control of our food supply. A planned farming school will rebuild a deep connection to agriculture by restoring interest in farming and engaging children in growing food.

Engage with us in thinking about these issues, and with your support, Southlands will be the first project of its kind in Canada, and add lasting value to all of Delta.
