Joni Light’s journey with Fancy This Gifts began with a vision over 20 years ago: to create a boutique that catered to the diverse needs of today’s gift-buying customers.

As South Delta evolved, so did its business environment. The region saw an uptick in upscale cafes, boutique stores, and specialty shops aimed at meeting the tastes of wealthier residents and visitors.

As young families and professionals sought refuge from Vancouver’s bustling urban environment, the quiet, suburban charm of Delta became an attractive option.

The 1980s were a transformative decade for Ladner and Tsawwassen, marked by technological innovation, economic diversification, and the rise of tourism.

With a forward-thinking approach, TFN has successfully transformed its economic landscape, creating opportunities for its community and contributing to the broader prosperity of South Delta.

From fishing and agriculture to grassroots advocacy, South Delta emerged as a leader in environmental consciousness.

Tilbury Industrial Park is home to a mix of large corporations, small enterprises, and startups. The diversity of businesses reflects the adaptability of the industrial park to meet modern demands.

Transportation links, particularly the George Massey Tunnel, continued to support Ladner and Tsawwassen’s economic development. Farmers and fishers in both communities now had dependable access to Vancouver’s markets, allowing for the distribution of fresh produce and seafood.
