Community Energy and Emissions Plan Update

The City of Delta recognizes that now, more than ever before, our community needs to implement bold and urgent measures to address climate change.

This is why the City of Delta is refreshing our Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP). The CEEP will be our pathway towards reducing our contributions to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that cause climate change (climate change mitigation). A key focus of this CEEP is also to identify how climate action can help us achieve other community priorities like health and well-being, equity and inclusion and resilience to extreme weather events. The good news is we now know what we have to do and we are in a good place to get started.

The CEEP update will include:

  • public and stakeholder engagement
  • completing an inventory; and
  • identifying the most appropriate and effective climate action decisions for the city and community.

Through this process we aim to understand Delta’s unique community assets, values, and needs and the steps needed to make the biggest impact. The final plan will be integrated and implemented to support Delta’s social, economic, and environmental resilience in the short and long-term.

What we're asking now

Phase 2 Engagement. This phase will focus on feedback on the various actions we should prioritize in the CEEP.

We will be looking at the Big Moves needed to reduce our emissions and what these moves will look like in Delta.

  • Electrify transportation
  • Shift beyond the car (active transportation and transit)
  • Step Up new buildings (energy efficient and low carbon new buildings)
  • Retrofit existing buildings (make existing buildings more energy efficient with low carbon heating systems)
  • Close the loop on waste

We want to gain local insights and local perspectives and will be exploring:

  • What are local priorities?
  • What is already happening locally?
  • What are potential local co-benefits of implementing actions within the Big Moves?

How to get involved:

  • Ask us a question.
  • Answer the quick poll on which co-benefits of climate action are important to you.
  • Share your stories. We are compiling stories of what residents and businesses are already doing, or hoping to do. To be included, enter your story, below.
  • Complete Survey #2 between September 7th and November 4th to be entered to win a prize package valued at $100. If you prefer a paper copy, the survey can be printed off from the list of items on the right-hand side of this page and be dropped off at City Hall.

NOTE: We have extended the survey deadline to November 4th!

Phase 1 Engagement - Public Survey #1 and stakeholder workshops focused on understanding climate change, vision and current modeling.

Phase one of the Community Energy Emissions Plan (CEEP) public engagement revealed that Delta residents are concerned about the effects of climate change on their city. The residents want assistance from the City to reduce emissions and prepare for the impacts of a changing climate. Participants in this portion of CEEP engagement feel a personal sense of responsibility to help reduce emissions that contribute to climate change and are looking to the City to lead by example to support their low carbon behaviors.

Calling all Students!

Let’s Talk Delta wants to know what is important to youth!

Students have opinions, ideas, and perspectives that are important to creating a future for the City of Delta that is sustainable, innovative, and theirs. We want to make sure Delta youth have a chance to understand how the city develops plans like the Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP) to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and help everyone make more environmentally friendly choices. We also want youth to know that their voice matters to City Hall and can help us make these plans even better.

Learn more about Climate Change.

Complete the Youth Survey by November 18th for a chance to win some great prizes.

What is a CEEP?

The CEEP is the City’s action plan to help our community rapidly reduce GHG emissions in a way that is relevant and effective for our city and even prepare for the impacts of a changing climate. The CEEP is a climate mitigation plan. This means it focuses on the ways we can reduce the GHG emissions that contribute to climate change and shift our community toward more sustainable practices.

It will detail the specific ways we can rethink and transform how we:

  • heat and cool our buildings:
  • how we get around; and
  • how we dispose of our waste.

There are three key ways the City of Delta can do this:

  1. Infrastructure: Enable Choice through infrastructure decisions.
  2. Policy & Regulation: Shape Choice through policy and regulation.
  3. Engagement & Outreach: Support Choice through engagement and outreach.

  • Share Missed opportunity along 72 Avenue west of Scott Road. The work completed over the summer to increase the single lane route to double lanes in both directions was an opportunity to address congestion along that route. Sadly from 116 Street to Nicholson Road it was not improved and will remain single lane in both directions. Traffic congestion is going to be horrific with all the townhomes the city has allowed along that stretch and a safety hazard particularly considering Heath Elementary is on 72 Avenue. In general, it’s going to be a nightmare for commuters especially during rush hour which will also be the busiest time for students being dropped off and picked up from Heath Elementary. Two lanes in both directions would have kept things moving somewhat smoothly. Both directions require a merge just prior to an intersection controlled by lights. Merging is a concept that is not easily applied by many drivers. Having to stop just prior to an intersection will 100% result in idling, congestion, frustration and likely accidents. Hope that in the very near future that stretch can be configured to allow double lanes in both directions to allow for smoother flow of traffic. Also hope the City of Delta will restrict the detached home, townhouse and condo development in North Delta. The roads are mostly single lane and unable to accommodate all this growth.

    This is a really good point around how we can make choices at home and in neighbourhoods to contribute to cleaner air and healthier spaces – including noise! We will definitely consider your experience as we create our Community Energy & Emissions Plan, especially in how to build resident awareness of consumer choices that impact local air and neighbourhood health.

    K asked about 2 years ago

    Delta does require a new tree to be planted in the front yard of every newly subdivided lot (see Section 7.3.2 of Delta Zoning Bylaw) plus the exterior side yard if it is a corner lot. Delta also has tree planting requirements for new multi-unit development in Section 7.3.3 as well as for commercial, mixed use, industrial and institutional in Section 7.4. Additional landscaping can also be negotiated through the development permit or rezoning approval. The minimum planting size is 7 cm caliper for deciduous trees and 3 m height for coniferous trees.

    Delta takes cash for 1 tree for each 9 m of frontage where a new single detached home is proposed and uses that money to plant street trees. Delta tries to plant the trees as that same location within the boulevard, but sometimes they are planted somewhere close by. 

    Additionally, Trees for Tomorrow is a City program that invites Delta homeowners to request one or two trees to be planted on municipal property, immediately adjacent to the side and/or in front of your property. Residents get to choose the tree(s), and as long as the chosen tree is a suitable fit for the property, Delta will purchase and plant it for you! Participants need to commit to watering the new trees after planting as this is an essential part of the program's success.

    HI 

    Delta will be replanting approximately 140 (each) 1.5 metre high cedar hedge along property frontage that were removed during the road widening work. These hedges can grow up to 20 metres in height at a rate of 300mm a year. 

    Based on our consultants landscaping drawings we hope to plant up to 80 small to medium sized trees (not evergreens) in the boulevard on 72 Avenue between Westview Drive and 115 Street. Conifers are not typically planted near the street because of sightlines and because they shade the street in winter (which means that snow and ice can’t melt as quickly off the street, thus increasing driving hazard).
