We are going DIGITAL for 2012

Get involved with our membership drive for January 2012.

• TBA is connected! 

With our communication abilities relying more often on mobile technology, we are now in more places while doing our business. Attending a networking meeting requires us to be in a certain area at a certain time.  Nowadays, that is not always convenient and possible with our busy schedules.

So for 2012 - the Tsawwassen Business Association is coming to you.  At your desktop, smartphone, tablet etc.

Using the common applications that have now integrated into our business lives

TBA, will be networking and facilitiating discussions via Linkedin.  We will be keeping you updated with progress around initiatives and volunteering with Twitter.  We will promote upcoming seminars, policy discussions and forums with Facebook.  And through the use of streaming video, bring you live and archived meetings, events and plenary sessions. 

1st Annual Music Festival - July 29 - August 1

Efforts of the past two years are showing great results!  in 2009 The TBA began an initiative to create awareness for the Arts and Culture in Tsawwassen.  

Since then, there has been a music venue created where bands play regularly.  The Stage @ the Tsawwassen Legion showcases live music Friday and most Saturdays.  The live blues jam runs every Sunday from mid September to mid May.

Live dance has been presented in multiple formats.  Ballroom and social dance is established at Kin Village.  There you can take lessons or drop in for a night of practice and fun.  Flamenco has caught the attention of woman and men who are keen to explore the roots and history of this powerful form of expression.  Los Gitanos School of Flamenco dance hosts and annual show and workshops.

Live theatre at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre always gets rave reviews.  Sidekick Players now present at least three productions throughout the year.

Now a new musical festival has been added to the list of great entertainment in the community.  The SunFest Music Festival is to become an annual event that will coincide with the yearly BC Day long weekend favorite Tsawwassen Sun Festival.  This year there are 8 venues, 30 acts and over 70 musicians performing from Friday July 29th through the long weekend Monday August 1st.  

The artists are primarily from the South Delta area.  From youth performers (Delta Youth Orchestra) to seasoned veterans.

"The goal is to build upon this format and make the event even larger next year", said Dave McIlroy - Artistic Director of the Festival and President of the TBA.  We will hold qualifier events through the year to place acts for the next festival.  This way the artists have a chance to play for their community and the favorites can be selected for the "big showcase" during the Sun Festival weekend".            

"Keep business in your town, to keep your town in business"

As businesses shut down in Tsawwassen, are we seeing a trend or just a result of economical shifts?
