The newly refurbished and redesigned Chisholm Street Wharf is officially open to the public, bringing new life to a familiar spot in Ladner Village.
Informed by public feedback, and as part of the larger effort to revitalize Ladner Village, the completed wharf provides a vibrant and flexible gathering space for both public usage and city programming, with new amenities to bring the community together in every season.
“Ladner’s waterfront is a special part of our community, and this renewed space gives people more ways to enjoy it,“ said Mayor Melissa Granum. "Whether you are meeting a friend for coffee, enjoying a performance, or simply taking in the view of the Fraser River, I hope the Chisholm Street Wharf becomes a place where everyone feels welcome and connected to the Village and its local businesses."
Creating an easily accessible waterfront was a vital consideration of the project’s design. Alongside making the site friendlier for people who use wheelchairs or push strollers, the wharf was upgraded to consider different elevations and viewpoints, with the highest point permitting an unobstructed view of the river.
The Chisholm Street Wharf is open to the public and visitors are invited to experience this waterfront gathering place. The City looks forward to programming and hosting community events in this space soon—stay tuned for more information on upcoming events.
