Earlier this month, we attended the Delta Chamber of Commerce Women in the Park event. What was originally planned as the annual Women in the Park event in Ladner Memorial Park turned into a beautiful, rain-adjusted celebration indoors at the Red Barn in Southlands, Tsawwassen — and it couldn’t have worked out better!
As President of Delta Housing Be Mine Society, I was honoured to attend this relaxed, vibrant gathering hosted by the Delta Chamber of Commerce. The event continues to be a powerful celebration of women in leadership — women who are not only thriving in business but also creating opportunities for others and shaping the future.
The evening opened with a fun and interactive social bingo icebreaker, setting the tone for an atmosphere of connection and inspiration. Delicious food was served, including a colourful taco bar, wine and non-alcoholic beverages, decadent desserts, and even some outdoor games — yes, the sun finally made an appearance!
We were treated to inspiring speeches from an impressive lineup, including:
- The Honourable Jill McKnight, P.C., M.P., Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence
- Delta Councillor Jennifer Johal
- Laura Cassidy, Chief of the Tsawwassen First Nation
These women spoke from the heart, reminding us that “all dreams are possible to achieve,” and that women are continuing to lead the way — in business, in community, and beyond.
Events like these are more than just social gatherings — they’re fuel for the spirit and a reminder of what’s possible when women come together to support and celebrate one another.
