Meet Alicia GUICHON for Council

A fifth-generation farmer and entrepreneur, Councillor Alicia Guichon comes from a long line of Ladner Farmers. Together with her husband Jeff and their two children Clint (5) and Millie (2), the lineage continues. Born and raised, Alicia continues to call Ladner home with her young family and their rescue dog Gracie.

Alicia is passionate about the preservation of agricultural land and keeping farming viable as a local industry in Delta. A strong advocate for the agricultural community, Alicia serves as the Chair of the City of Delta’s Agricultural Advisory Committee and on the Board of the Delta Farmers Institute. Since 2018, Alicia has served on Delta Council and is known for listening to her community.

Alicia is deeply imbedded in the Delta community. She opened Backroads Family Farm Market with her sister in 2014, where they sell seasonal local produce and pride themselves on connecting the community with where their food comes from. Delta’s heritage is important to Alicia and her family, in fact, the Guichon family has been here for over 140 years.

You’re likely to run into Alicia at the Ladner Village Market, where she has been selling produce for over 20 years, at community events or while she is out volunteering in the community. Being a farmer and small business owner allows Alicia to connect with the community on an everyday basis and she sees her role as a Councillor as a natural extension of this. Alicia is running for re-election to continue to be a voice for everyday people on Council and help make decisions for a thriving Delta community. She is a member of the Ladner Business Association, Member of the Delta Chamber of Commerce, Director at the Delta Farmers Institute, Board Member on the Delta Secondary School Alumni Association, and a Hawthorne School PAC Executive Member
