Let's Light Up Ladner Village!
The Ladner Business Assoocation (LBA) with support from the City of Delta has launched a three-year campaign to light up Ladner Village throughout the winter in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The campaign will result in the trees on 48th Avenue, Delta Street and Haviland Street being adorned with clear LED lights for the winter season from November until March.
To make this dream become a reality, our goal is to raise $30,000 over three years.
In 2016 & 2017, thanks to numerous local residents and businesses, we raise more than $21,000. That enables us to purchase hundreds of strings of good quality LED lights and pay for the labour to install, maintain and remove them at the end of the season. (Removal every spring maximizes the lights' life expectancy and allow the trees to grow unhindered.) Ladner Village was lit every evening from November to March from dusk to 11pm.
In 2018, we need to raise $9,500 to cover the cost of this year's maintenance, installation and removal. Will you help us Light Up Ladner Village?
Every donation of $25, $50 and $100 gets us closer to lighting up Ladner Village for another season. If you give $1,000 or mover during the three-year campaign (this is Year 3), you will receive a sign of recognition that will be displayed near one of the village trees. We appreciate every dollar you invest in this community campaign.

This cost includes the purchase of the strings, the annual labour cost for installation and takedown, the equipment rentals for installation takedown, yearly testing, storage and maintenance and a contingency for potential vandalism and wear & tear. Additionally we have planned budget for signage and contingency.
