Discover North Delta

April 22, 2020 //  by Black Press Media Staff

Share this:

With a rural atmosphere, big city amenities, breath-taking scenery, and world-famous bird watching, Delta’s an all-season destination where sea, freshwater, land and several million feathered friends come together in spectacular fashion.

Delta is a bird lover’s paradise with one of Canada’s top bird-watching areas in the Delta Nature Reserve.

With Delta’s low elevation, cyclists can enjoy some spectacular bike rides. For 11 kilometres of forested trails or a scenic picnic, visit Watershed Park.

Explore the local Delta charm with local shops, wineries and farm tours. You’ll find many unique shops and restaurants to visit in Ladner Village, iconic for its fishing heritage. Visit Tsawwassen for a day at the beach, to enjoy some saltwater fishing or a shopping trip to the Lower Mainland’s premier shopping mall, Tsawwassen Mills.

Facts

  • Population 110,848
  • 100-year-old single lane swing bridge, one of the oldest in the province.
  • Burns Bog covers about 300 hectares of land and is the largest undeveloped urban landmass on the West Coast.
  • Home to one of the largest open-air markets in Western Canada that stretches over three blocks
  • Delta’s fertile soil makes it one of the most important agricultural areas in Metro Vancouver.

Weather

The climate is warm and temperate in Delta. Rainfall occurs falls mostly in the winter, with relatively little rain in the summer.

Destination BC is developing a new campaign to promote hyper-local travel where residents are “tourists-in-their own hometown,” while practising the COVID-19 safety protocols as recommended by the B.C. Provincial Health Officer. Many B.C. parks are now open, and national parks were to open as of June 1.

(Check this website for current details on travel.)

Getting here

Vehicle: Delta is easily accessible by the Trans-Canada Hwy/BC-1 W and BC-17 Highway or the BC-99 N Highway.

Flying: Vancouver International Airport is only about 20-minutes away from Delta.

Transit: The Canada Line Bridgeport Station connects travellers to bus routes in Delta. Travellers can also take the SkyTrain to Scott Road station for bus routes that service North Delta.
