Named for the Fraser River delta on which it lies, Delta comprises three communities, Tsawwassen, Ladner and North Delta, which lie in a fertile oasis of farmland and wetlands,accessed by both Hwy 99 and Hwy 91. Tsawwassen means 'looking toward the sea', appropriately named since it is also the BC Ferries Terminal for Vancouver Island.

Reifel Bird Sanctuary.  Located on Westham Island, on the wetlands of the Fraser River, the Reifel Bird Sanctuary is home to over 230 species and is the annual migratory stop for some 1.5 million birds on the Pacific Flyway. Over 20,000 snow geese travelling south from Siberia every November make an especially breathtaking spectacle.

Ladner Village. Historic Ladner is a charming community of unique boutiques and restaurants and is home to Delta Museum and Archives. During the summer make sure to visit the Ladner Village Market, a three-block  long open-air market of fresh produce, handmade jewelry and had-crated treasures.

Centennial Beach. In Tsawwassen, Centennial Beach has one the region’s warmest and cleanest soft-sand beaches as well as picnic facilities, beach volleyball and nature trails.

Burns Bog. Along Hwy 99, Burns Bog is an ecological gem and the largest protected urban land area in Canada. Within its 4,047 hectares (10,000 acres) of wetland, which can be explored by boardwalks and trails, there are some 178 species of birds and mammals including bears, beaver and fox, as well as the threatened sandhill crane, one of the oldest know bird species.

Deas Island Regional Park. Walk dykes, marshes and meadows and visit a one-room schoolhouse built in 1909, a Queen Anne style home built in 1905 and the historic Delta Agricultural Hall.
