Who We Are
Corporate Services play a vital role in advancing the City's strategic priorities and delivering core services that contribute to a connected, inclusive, and sustainable community. The department is comprised of five interconnected divisions:
- Climate Action and Environment
- Corporate Policy
- Lands Management
- Legal Services
- Social Planning
What We Do
Climate Action and Environment manages environmental policy, ecological restoration initiatives, bylaw and policy development, and coordinates community stewardship events. This division leads Delta’s corporate and community climate strategies, addressing both mitigation and adaptation through innovative programs and public education.
Corporate Policy oversees corporate initiatives and intergovernmental projects and programs. This division coordinates business planning, services, bylaw development, and organizing municipal representation and policy briefings for the Union of BC Municipalities and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Corporate Policy also collaborates with Tsawwassen First Nation, Musqueam Indian Band, and Federal and Provincial Ministers, and is responsible for tourism services and local business associations in Delta.
Lands Management oversees the City’s real estate portfolio, offering strategic guidance on land acquisitions, dispositions, and rights-of-way. This division supports long-term planning for parkland expansion and infrastructure projects.
Legal Services provides legal advice and manages claims, risk, and Delta’s insurance portfolio through coordination with external counsel. The division ensures sound legal guidance for Council, the City Manager, and City departments.
Social Planning is responsible for implementing Delta’s Social Action Plan through targeted initiatives related to housing, seniors, youth, and health. This division works in collaboration with community partners and provincial agencies to deliver inclusive, community-driven projects and programs.
