Topping the polls in 2014, Sylvia Bishop is back and ready to serve Delta residents once again. Sylvia is running for Council with the One Delta team because she believes it is time to restore transparency, accountability, and trust at City Hall.

First elected to Delta Council in 2011, Sylvia served two successful terms and earned a reputation as a thoughtful, hardworking, and community-focused leader. A lifelong Delta resident, she has dedicated much of her life to serving the community she proudly calls home. Before entering public office, Sylvia spent 24 years as an educator, supporting and inspiring generations of students and families throughout Delta. Her background in education helped shape a practical, people-first approach to leadership grounded in listening, collaboration, and problem-solving.

Beyond her professional career, Sylvia has long been actively involved in community service and volunteerism. She has contributed her time and leadership to organizations including the Delta Heritage Society and REACH Child and Youth Development Society, reflecting her commitment to preserving Delta’s history while supporting children, youth, and families in the community.

During her time on Council, Sylvia served on a wide range of committees and advisory bodies, where she brought a collaborative and thoughtful approach to local governance. She also served as Chair of the Seniors Advisory Committee, advocating for policies and initiatives that improved quality of life for Delta’s growing senior population. Her strong understanding of governance and ability to work constructively with others earned her the respect of colleagues and residents alike.

Sylvia believes local government works best when residents feel heard and when City Hall remains accessible, accountable, and focused on the priorities of the community. She believes Delta’s path forward is straightforward — focusing on the basics, delivering reliable core services, and ensuring every neighbourhood receives the attention and investment it deserves.
