Residents got their first chance last Saturday to provide feedback on a plan to replace the George Massey Tunnel.

A large crowd was on hand at a provincial government open house at the Delta Town & Country Inn, which marked the beginning of what will undoubtedly be a lengthy consultation process.

Ladner residents facing huge lease rate increases on float homes and marinas want to dump the Port Metro Vancouver (PMV), and take control of their own waterway.

While PMV collects the money, people in Ladner says they don't do much else.

There are happy rumblings that a deal may be close on the funds to dredge Ladner's secondary channels. And because promises of dollars come at election time, I want to let you know the role your community - and I, as your MLA - have played (primarily because, if I had to guess, I won't be part of any announcement!).
