development proposals. The Association's focus is to ensure that
neighbours have input into changes in our neighbourhood.

The Sunbury annieville Neighbourhood
North Delta was built upon the river by pioneers
who came here to fish and farm. Families that have lived here since the
1800s and brought up generations of children, are still here because of
the livability of our neighbourhoods.
