The City of Delta recently completed the $650,000 Stokes and Cullis Plaza as a resident and visitor meeting place and rest area in the centre of Ladner Village. The plaza is part of the Ladner Village Community Plan. It emerged from recommendations made by the Ladner Village Renewal Advisory Committee in 2020. The new plaza includes oversized planters to act as a visual anchor to welcome visitors and provide wooden seating with coloured light poles illuminated in the evening. In keeping with Rotary’s Area of Focus to Protect the Environment, the Rotary Club of Ladner contributed $25,000 to the project for the installation of two E-bike charging stations, included in the City's plan. The club also sponsored a large wooden bench seating area at the entrance to the plaza. This Rotary contribution included a District Grant of $8,288 from The Rotary Foundation.
Installation of the plaza included partial demolition of a two-storey adjacent building to remove an add-on wing and restore its heritage status to its origins in 1907 when it started serving as a butcher shop for over 70 years and for various uses since.
As part of the overall community revitalization plan for Ladner, the plaza has attracted countless residents and tourists to this new town centre hub, adjacent to coffee shop and restaurants.
