SMILE -- I'll be there with my camera and appetite!
Today was a stellar day in Heroland!
***I am soooo soooo sorry, I just hate bumping Robert down on my heroes list, but today's heroes are so outstanding - Truly, I had no choice.
Of course a box of chocolates would help. Trust me, Robert, I am open to bribes, but you better read the blog to make sure you get the right type of chocolates.
Today's first hero is Leah Bach! Check out her website.
Leah is a Twitter friend of Heather's (mind too) and a North Delta Realtor.
She is also the host of North Delta Living on Delta TV! I bet you are already a fan of hers!
Did you notice the rain today?
During the wettest, soggiest part of the day, Leah went knocking on doors with Heather in the Sunshine Hills area.
The gals were soaked to the bone, but Leah's enthusiasm and humour keep Heather laughing and knocking!
No wonder Heather's tweet today said, "My new best friend Leah Bach.... ! Who else would do this with me on a wet miserable day?"

Today "soggy Leah" received a bit of a treat. As a North Delta realtor she has sold many of the Sunshine Hills homes and today she got to reconnect with several old clients!
Lots of laughing and hugging!
Win-win.
Today's second hero is Mr. Brar, the owner of the Paradise Banquet Hall (read yesterday's blog).
Mr. Brar has been trying unsuccessfully for three years to get a bylaw variance for his business's signage in North Delta (he should be a hero just for his persistence).
Totally frustrated, he got proactive:
- He took a zillion or maybe two zillion photographs of signs on 120th Street in North Delta and
- he asked Heather King to meet with him and Delta's Community Planning and Development Department (talk about wielding a big stick, Mr. Brar rocks).
Happy ending...bring out the tissues
The meeting started at 4 PM and 45 minutes later everyone shook hands and left smiling!
YUP, three years of frustrations got solved with 45 minutes of communication!
Preparation, communication, compromise and a willingness to cooperate - the four simple keys to their solution!
It's amazing what happens when all parties sit down and figure out what each other really wants and needs.
As anyone who has ever paid a fortune in marriage counselling knows - communication is not to be overrated!
NOW Mr. Brar has the correct information to take to his sign designer. His designer will work within the specifics and provide 2 or 3 options for Mr. Brar to submit to council.
It sounds like his three year struggle will soon be put to rest. I am looking forward to seeing his new sign!
My third hero is Thomas Leathem, Director of Delta's Community Planning and Development Department
My fourth hero is Marcy, Deputy Director of Delta's Community Planning and Development Department
Thomas and Marsha thank you for going the extra mile and working to resolve this conflict for Mr. Brar - you two are true heroes.....clap, clap, clap!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Gives me warm fuzzies thinking about the next time (July 2012) I will have the privilege of paying my property taxes!
In my books you two have earned your keep. Thanks for taking the sting out of writing that big, fat (gulp) cheque.
Of course my unsung hero is Heather King, my #1 hero # 1.
Indulge me:
Heather thank you for going above and beyond for Mr. Brar. I am sure that your presence and input at the meeting was of a great comfort to him!
Heck I felt better knowing you were going to help him out, just imagine how thrilled he was!
All Hail the KING. (Maybe a bit too far, but you get my point.)
Win-win once again!
