Recruiting & retaining appropriately skilled workers is the top concern of businesses in Delta, according to Jill McKnight, Executive Director of the Delta Chamber of Commerce. Speaking at Ladner Rotary on November 22, 2022, Jill also advised: for every $10 you spend locally $6.10 recirculates in our community. For instance, Delta's 730+ retail businesses employ more than 18,300 people, and businesses pay 46% of the property taxes that fund services in our city.
Jill McKnight, Executive Director of the Delta Chamber of Commerce, is a longtime resident of Delta, who is the co-owner of two Delta businesses. She is a former president of the Ladner Business Association and a driving force with her family behind the popular Ladner Village Market during summer months. In its 2019 Hats Off to Excellence Awards the Delta Chamber presented her with the Volunteer of the Year Award. |  |
