When: Victoria Day – Monday May 24, 1-3 pm
(followed by ales fit for royalty at Tidewaters Pub, 3-5 pm)
Where: 10300 block River Road, Delta; near River Road & Centre Street. (Take the 640 bus: 10 minutes from Scott Road Skytrain or 15 from Ladner Exchange)
What: Historic homes are being demolished on the Fraser River bank, to make room for the proposed South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) freeway project. Join us for a Victoria Day garden party and refreshments, and paint your displeasure with the SFPR on large banners!
