From Feb. 16 to 22, Delta will celebrate Heritage Week with a variety of events, displays and award presentations for heritage preservation and restoration.
"Delta's heritage is the foundation of our vibrant and sustainable community," says Mayor Lois Jackson. "Heritage Week reminds us of Delta's rich history, something which we are proud to honour."
The 2015 Heritage Award of Merit and Friends of Heritage Award were handed out by Jackson at the weekly meeting of Delta council on Monday.
The Heritage Award of Merit was given to Ladner United Church, while the Friends of Heritage Award was presented to the congregation of Ladner United.
The 48th Avenue church, which is more than 120 years old, re-opened last spring after an extensive restoration and renovation project undertaken by RAM Construction.
The Delta Museum and Archives is hosting a number of exhibits and presentations to mark Heritage Week, while the Cammidge House in Boundary Bay Regional Park has an event scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
