Re: Main street should reflect community's personality, letter to the editor, Aug. 2
One of the assets of a community like Tsawwassen is that it is populated with residents who care passionately about their community. This results, at times, in strong differences in opinions on polarizing matters as they come up.
The Tsawwassen Business Improvement Association (TBIA) represents the commercial property and business owners of Tsawwassen and both represents local residents and focuses on them in our marketing and promotions efforts. As such we are also quite invested in and passionate about the family-friendly beach community of "Sunny Tsawwassen."
That said, while the term "sunny Tsawwassen" does not belong to and is not exclusive to the TBIA, the capitalized "Sunny Tsawwassen" and the hashtagged #SunnyTsawwassen are exclusively used by the TBIA. The website www.SunnyTsawwassen.ca and the associated social media accounts with these names, etc. belong to us.
Therefore, we would like to politely make it clear both to Louise Latremouille and to the residents of South Delta that we are in no way associated with her endeavours and would ask her to discontinue her use of this phrase in such a manner in order to ensure no confusion in future communications.
We appreciate the freedom of expression and passionate care expressed by all residents but ask that it be clearly independent and unassociated with our non-profit society in the future.

Executive Director Tsawwassen Business Improvement Association
