Delta at a Glance
The Corporation of Delta is composed of three communities: Ladner, Tsawwassen
and North Delta. Located in the Fraser River delta just south of Richmond
and west of Surrey, Delta is the
gateway to Vancouver Island
and the Gulf Islands. Set amongst
farmland, wetland and historic homes and buildings, Delta is well known for its
verdant lowland scenery. Delta's natural beauty is also showcased by the Reifel
Migratory Bird Sanctuary, Deas
Island Regional Park, Boundary
Bay Regional Park and North America's largest undeveloped urban land mass,
the Burns
Bog Nature Reserve. These four parks offer a variety of recreation options,
with hiking, fishing and wildlife viewing being some of the more popular choices.
Historic Ladner is an active fishing village with numerous boutiques and cafes,
while Tsawwassen's sandy beaches provide opportunities for water sports and beach
combing. In addition to being the site of a B.C.
Ferries Terminal, Tsawwassen also provides the only land access to Point Roberts,
U.S.A.
