As Labour Day approaches, it’s important for me to take time to reflect on the invaluable contributions of our dedicated workforce at the City of Delta that keeps our community thriving day in and day out.
Our remarkable city employees form the very backbone of our operations, ensuring that our residents receive the highest quality services that define our city’s excellence.
From the moment the sun rises, our employees are hard at work. Each of our employees plays a vital role in making Delta the exceptional place it is. Whether it’s our firefighters ensuring our safety, our crews maintaining our roads and parks, our staff welcoming and serving you at our facilities, our administrative staff supporting essential operations, and the many other department that contribute to our community’s well-being – each role is indispensable, and each individual’s dedication is commendable.
Behind the scenes of our operations lies the spirit of unity that defines our city’s workforce. Our employees come from diverse backgrounds, bring unique skill sets, and are united by a shared commitment to the betterment of Delta. Their tireless efforts and unwavering dedication exemplify the true essence of teamwork.
It’s important to note that the success of our employees is deeply intertwined with the support and advocacy of their local unions, CUPE Local 454, Delta Public Employees, and the Delta Firefighters Association, Local 1763. The collaboration between our employees and their unions has been instrumental in achieving fair and safe working conditions, fostering an environment of mutual respect and inclusion, and ensuring that our city remains an amazing place to work and live.
As mayor I recognize that our employees are more than just workers – they are the heart and soul of the city. Their dedication and contributions extend far beyond their job descriptions. They are the friendly faces who greet us on our morning walks, the professionals who keep our infrastructure running smoothly, and the public servants who work diligently to meet our needs. Next time you cross paths with our dedicated city employees, a simple “hello” with a smile is a wonderful way to recognize and appreciate their invaluable contributions.
On behalf of Delta council, as we celebrate Labour Day, let us remember the tireless commitment of city employees. Let us recognize the behind-the-scenes efforts that keep Delta flourishing and the unity that makes us stronger as a community.
