Are you aware that our local shops are suffering and in fact over the next year, three shops are planning to close or sell with one being South Coast Casuals (due to the retirement of the owners)?

What a shame if more shops and businesses close. We will end up with a village of vacant store fronts. We need to support our local businesses more if we want to keep them and entice other shops, restaurants to open.

Since the COVID pandemic, people have been ordering more and more online and buying from big box stores. This in time will kill the small family run businesses and turn Ladner Village into a ghost town of fast food restaurants and dollar stores.

There is a need for those types of businesses as well, but hopefully it won’t make up the whole town. Please support our local shops and keep this charming village alive!
