I started my career at the Delta Police Department when I was 30 years old, with relatively little experience.

I was suddenly immersed in the complex world of policing and civilian oversight. The learning curve was steep and I tripped and stumbled often.

One person who made a lasting impact on me during those early years was Ray Carter. As a member of the Delta Police Board, Ray took the time to mentor me, share his knowledge, and help guide me through that challenging learning process. He did so with genuine kindness, patience, and care, qualities that have always defined him.

I was truly honoured to see Ray at our first fundraiser. Having his support and encouragement means a great deal to me.

Thank you Ray, for your mentorship, friendship, and the example you set for others. It’s something I’ve never forgotten and continue to carry with me.

Apologies for the confusion, folks!
Delta First will be set up by the outdoor pool at the North Delta Recreation Centre on Saturday, June 6 from 1-3 p.m.
This is your opportunity to come and meet Melissa Granum for Mayor, Tammy Hansen for Delta Council, Jat Puri - Delta City Council Candidate , and Alex Fischer for Delta Council.
The team will be there to answer questions, hear concerns and get to know the community. If you’re looking for a fresh perspective, transparency and real-life experience, come by and say hi, and find out what we plan to do to put Delta First.

You may have spotted our postcards at May Days, where we handed out the first batch of a project we're especially proud of.

Thoughtfully and professionally designed to capture the charm of classic postcards, featuring illustrated landmarks and familiar scenes from across Delta. Every image was carefully selected to reflect the communities that make Delta such a special place to call home.

Over the coming weeks, our team will be out door knocking throughout Delta and leaving these postcards at your door. In keeping with the postcard tradition, be sure to flip it over to find a handwritten note from a member of our team.

In a world of emails, texts, and social media, there's something meaningful about receiving a personal message. We hope these postcards serve as a reminder of the strong sense of community, connection, and neighbourliness that has always been part of Delta's story.

When yours arrives, we encourage you to put it on the fridge, share it with family, and keep it as a small reminder of the Delta we know and love.

Come and meet your Delta First team this Saturday, June 6 at North Delta community park. Melissa Granum for Mayor, Jat Puri - Delta City Council Candidate , Tammy Hansen for Delta Council and Alex Fischer for Delta Council will be at the park from 1-3 p.m. to meet with residents, answer questions and listen to concerns. Come by and say “Hi”, and learn about our fresh, new perspective and how we plan on putting Delta First.

In Thursday's Delta Optimist, Greg Hoover's Letter to the Editor asked candidates running in the upcoming election to answer 10 important questions. Delta First's Council candidate, Tammy Hansen for Delta Council jumped on board to ensure that residents understand who she is and why she's running.

Tammy has called Delta home for 30 years. She built her career here, raised her family here, volunteer here, and like many of you, Tammy cares deeply about the future of our community.

Tammy is a Chartered Professional Accountant with more than two decades of experience helping individuals, small businesses, charities, and non-profits manage their finances responsibly. Every day, she works with people who are making important decisions with limited resources and looking for practical solutions.

Tammy is not a career politician.

What she brings to the table is financial literacy, accountability, and a commitment to listening.

For 30 years, Delta has helped shape who Tammy is and now she wants to help shape Delta's future.

As a member of the boards of Step Forward Health Society and the Rotary Club of Ladner, Tammy has seen firsthand the incredible work being done across our community. She's also seen the challenges many residents, organizations, and businesses face.

Council decisions affect all of us. Those decisions should be guided by sound financial stewardship, transparency, and a genuine understanding of the people who call Delta home.

If elected, Tammy will listen to residents, bring your concerns to the council table, and work hard to ensure your voice is heard.

I may not have all the answers, but I will always be prepared, accountable, and committed to making decisions that put Delta first.
