The mega malls at the Tsawwassen First Nation are on their way and Mayor Lois Jackson says the Ladner and Tsawwassen business districts will need to undergo transformations if they hope to compete. Tsaswwassen Mills and Tsawwassen Commons are set to open in May of next year.
The Optimist asked:
Peter Derksen There's no hope for competing with the thing. We should be spending it on infrastructure instead of facelifting. People love Ladner the way it is.
They're going to go there anyway.
Victoria Weiland I would hope people would be loyal to the mom-andpop places that have been here for forever. As far as a facelift, I love Ladner exactly the way it is. I love Tsawwassen exactly the way it is.
Phil Gauvreau No. You could fix up down near the waterfront, but I think that's coming.
Carmelita Elliott Ladner is like an old town. It's not like they prefer changes. They like the old ways. I don't think so. ... who wants to go in the big mall? Maybe once a month or every three months, but not everyday like here.
Gerald Carter I don't visit here all that often but generally speaking I could see where it could use a facelift.
