All of DELTA is comprised of 3 distinct areas – North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen. For those of you not familiar with the lower mainland, Delta is in the south west corner of B.C. bound by the Fraser River to the north , Boundary Bay and the U.S. border to the east and south and Georgia Strait to the west.
Historically, Delta has been a farming and fishing commnity. LADNER, once an active fishing village has a charming village core with restored historical buildings. TSAWWASSEN, known for its sunny climate, is the departure point for ferries to Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. And NORTH DELTA is home to the 10,000 acre Burn’s Bog, a wonderful natural reserve with over 200 species of migratory birds.
DELTA is a wonderful alternative to the busier, more expensive neighbourhoods of Vancouver. With wonderful recreational resources, great schools, beautiful waterways and all the necessary amenities, Delta is a great place to live!

10 GREAT THINGS TO DO IN TSAWWASSEN!
1. Spend the day on Centennial Beach or stroll along the path adjacent to the beach aptly named Raptor Trail, and watch the many birds of prey such as hawks and bald eagles.
2. Visit Fred Gingell Park on English Bluff Road and take in the view of the southern Salish Sea (Georgia Strait).
3. Walk down the stairs at Fred Gingell park and explore the beach. Walk up and down the stairs for a great workout – a favourite of many!
4. Run, bike or walk the Boundary Bay Dyke trail. It is a 10 mile maintained path full of amazing sights and sounds.
5. Enjoy a stroll through the eclectic neighbourhood of Beach Grove with cabin like homes to water front paradises.
6. Play a round of golf at Tsawwassen Golf & Country Club or Beach Grove Golf Club any day of the year!

8. Enjoy 5 star dining at Illuminate at 125 1077 56th Street, but be sure to make a reservation! 604-943-5900
9. On Sunday, take in the Used Car Lot sponsored by the Rotary Club. This is a tradition that is well attended every Sunday in the center of town. Bring your used or new car, truck, trailor, boat to sell or buy one instead!
10. In the summer, attend one of three outdoor movie nights in the park where there is unlimited seating.
And remember, the weather out here in Tsawwassen is warmer and sunnier than the rest of metro Vancouver!
