The Township of Rideau Lakes welcomes community members to participate in conversations about the future for the Village of Delta.

In order to gather information about how residents and stakeholders want to see their community in the next ten to fifteen years, “Community Visioning” Sessions will be held, and people are encouraged to complete a survey.

Two community input sessions will take place, one in-person and one virtual, in order to allow everyone the opportunity to provide a contribution to the vision for Delta and determine what the community desires for the future. The online survey is open for responses until August 25, 2026. Residents, visitors, business owners and other interested parties are encouraged to participate.

An in-person session will be held on Saturday, July 18 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Old Town Hall at 8 Lower Beverley Lake Park Road in Delta, followed by a virtual input session scheduled to take place on Tuesday, August 11 at 7:00 p.m. To register, contact Marie White at 1-800-928-2251 ext.288, by email at or visit RideauLakes.ca/DeltaVision.

Project outreach is performed under the guidance of the Rideau Lakes Visioning Steering Committee, comprised of community representatives including a member of Council and the active resident volunteers that serve on the Delta Community Enhancement Committee. The role of the steering committee involves establishing the timeline and logistics for hosting community visioning sessions, reviewing the survey findings, and to help spread the news about the program within the community.

The Rideau Lakes Economic Development Committee is working in concert with the volunteer Steering Committee to gain valuable community input and to develop an updated village vision based on the feedback received and best practices in community planning. The draft vision document will be presented to the Committee this fall, and the final version will proceed to Council. Once approved, the Village Vision for Delta is expected to be published in December 2026.

Details including the survey are available on the township website: RideauLakes.ca/DeltaVision.
