The village of Ladner is situated on the south bank of the Fraser River and was the original centre of population in Delta. It remains home of city hall, the police station and Delta Hospital.
Despite the recent growth, Ladner retains its village atmosphere with a quaint commercial core. There are also shopping malls along Ladner Trunk Road. Ladner
The City of Delta lies in the extreme southwestern corner of mainland Canada, bounded on the north by the Fraser River, the west by the Strait of Georgia, the south by Boundary Bay and the American border, and on the east by the City of Surrey.
Historically a farming and fishing community, Delta became a bedroom suburb of Vancouver with the opening of

the George Massey Tunnel in 1959, but still retains its small town charm and more relaxed atmosphere.
The city of just over 110,000 is divided into three main population centres: North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen. North Delta is the most populated of the three and is situated in the upland area along the city’s northeast boundary with Surrey.

Tsawwassen, including the neighbourhoods of Boundary Bay and Beach Grove, is located in the southwest corner of the city on what was once Roberts Island. Over the years silt from the Fraser River connected the island to the mainland and Roberts is now a point, not an island. It is named
after the original First Nation settlers.
Tsawwassen’s population consists primarily of families, although a growing number of seniors take advantage of its terrific weather. More Metro Vancouver residents have moved to the area
Immediately south of Tsawwassen is the geographical anomaly of Point Roberts, Washington. This area, while part of the continental United States, is only reachable by land through Canada via a
border crossing at the foot of 56th Street.
Point Roberts is a mainly rural enclave, where the majority of property owners are Canadians that make their way to their vacation homes, mainly over the summer months.

It’s home to a large marina, numerous parcel outlets and gas stations where Metro Vancouver residents frequent to get a break in fuel costs.
Delta is a place where everyone can find something to enjoy without ever leaving the city. Here are some of my favourite suggestions for exploring Delta:
Families can picnic at the beach or at any one of our beautiful parks, pick berries at our local farms, watch planes at Boundary Bay Airport, and visit our numerous amazing playgrounds and waterparks.
Seniors can find activities at centres like McKee House, Kennedy Recreation Centre, and KinVillage, take interesting courses through Elder College, enjoy lawn bowling during the day and the local Legions’ food and entertainment at night.
Sports enthusiasts can bike on the many trails, go boating on the Fraser River, and enjoy our
excellent sports facilities such as the North Delta track, swimming pools, ice rinks, golf courses, and tennis and pickleball courts.
Nature lovers can hike the trails at Burns Bog, Deas Island or Watershed Park; explore the beaches and shoreline; or go bird watching at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary.
Or, if you are just looking for good shopping or tasty food – our city is filled with unique shops, culturally diverse stores, larger malls with everything, as well as restaurants and pubs for every taste.
Delta is a great destination for anyone to visit, and a great place to call home!

Here are just a few places where you can get outside, enjoy a hike and get in touch with nature.
Located on an island in the lower reaches of the Fraser River, this is a great place for a picnic, a quiet walk, or a paddle along the slough. The tall cottonwood trees and surrounding wetlands are home to a variety of wildlife – from eagles and chickadees to frogs and otters. The park derives its name from John Sullivan Deas, a free Black tinsmith, who established a salmon cannery on the site in 1873. Deas Island Regional Park is home to three local heritage buildings: Inverholme Schoolhouse, Delta Agricultural Hall and Burrvilla.
Tinmaker’s Walk is a three-metre-wide trail, with a coarse gravel base, with
minimal grade changes. The trail may be accessible for some users from Fisher’s Field to the Heritage area parking. The trails to the west of Muskrat Meadow are soft/sandy and may be difficult for most wheelchair/ stroller users. Park hours are: 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily
Sandy beach and tidal flats draw crowds in the summer. But Boundary Bay is a great place to explore year-round, whether on the trails near Centennial Beach or on the wide-open Dyke Trail with its big views.
There are 24 km of hiking trails, 18 km of horseback trails and 20 km of cycling trails. Park hours are: Saturday to Thursday from 7a.m. to 9p.m. and Fridays from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
As the only publicly accessible part of Burns Bog, the Delta Nature Reserve allows visitors to experience bog ecosystems. Stroll along rustic boardwalks meandering through forests and hardhack meadows, and over wet, soggy soils. Look for bog plants such as Labrador tea and bog laurel. Watch for songbirds, woodpeckers, hawks, and eagles.
There are 2.5 km of walkable trails. Park hours are daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
For more details on these parks or others in the region operated by Metro Vancouver, see: www.metrovancouver.org/services/parks

The Douglas J. Husband Discovery Centre is an imaginative, fun, and accessible space made for everyone! When visitors engage with the interactive displays and real artefacts, they learn about Delta’s past, present, and future.
The Discovery Centre tells the story of Delta’s transformation from seascape to a rich and
fertile landscape that has influenced all those who have inhabited its lands. To ensure these complex histories are well documented, the Delta Archives, housed within the Discovery Centre, works to capture these stories, and make them available to the public through their free online database or by visiting the Archives.
The Discovery Centre is open seven days a week with free admission.
Staff also offer free or low-cost cultural programs for people of all ages. These programs include curriculum-based school programs, educational presentations, holiday specific events, community partner led programs, family activities, birthday parties, spring break camps, summer camps, guided tours, sensory-friendly
mornings, and more!
