The following letter was sent to Delta council and copied to Delta Optimist
As a former owner of waterfront property, namely Massey’s Machine Shop at 4915 Chisholm Street I urge you to seek out a joint proposal with First Nations the provincial and federal governments and private property owners in a manner to develop the Ladner waterfront properties.
A waterfront property assembly and development proposal that would be in keeping with First nations aspirations and the fishing history that began over a 150 years ago.
The Massey family was involved in the serving of both non-aboriginal and aboriginal fishing families involved in the commercial fishing industry for some 68 years and feel that a joint waterfront development would be the only viable way to proceed given the economic and physical status of the properties involved.
Douglas George Massey
