November 22, 2000 : At a riverside ceremony in Delta this morning, the Fraser River Port Authority helped get the Spirit of Delta’s Millennium Trail one step closer to reality.

The Port Authority’s Vice Chair, Allan Collerman, presented a cheque for $25,000 to the Spirit of Delta 2000 organization which is coordinating the construction of a new pedestrian trail system planned to ultimately link Ladner Village with trails on Deas Island Regional Park.

The Fraser River Port Millennium Fund was designed to support community projects which contribute to the quality of life in the Fraser River Communities. “This trail will ensure that future generations will have public access to the Fraser River to both enjoy and appreciate the social and economic importance of the river in our lives,” said Allan Collerman.
