More than 175 species of birds and dozens of animal species call Burns Bog their home. Although most of Burns Bog is closed off to the public, visitors are welcome to come see the Delta Nature Reserve.

There are three loops of boardwalks and trails at the reserve, and tours can be booked as well. A 90-minute hike takes you past a beaver dam and through both a spring meadow and a cedar grove 10388 Nordel Court

EXPLORE DELTA Ladner and Ladner Village Coast Salish First Nations settled around Delta and Ladner during the late 19th century. Two brothers, Thomas and William Ladner, saw the agricultural promise of the soil and set about farming the land while harvesting fish from the Fraser River. Though Ladner has evolved beyond a simple fishing village, the community has not lost its small town nature. There are many unique shops and restaurants to visit in the village, with some notable events taking place as well, such as the Ladner Village Market, one of the largest open-air markets in Western Canada.

The market attracts farmers and artisans from across British Columbia, and runs every second Sunday throughout the summer.

ladnervillagemarket.com

Tsawwassen and Centennial Beach Tsawwassen’s name, appropriately, comes from the Salish translation of “land by the sea.” Sure enough, Tsawwassen is surrounded by water on both sides, making for fantastic ocean viewings from many locations. It’s common for travellers passing through to make a stop at Centennial Beach on their way to and from the ferry terminal.

Enjoy some saltwater fishing or walks along the water in one of the sunniest places in the Lower Mainland. The Tsawwassen area enjoys three days of sunshine for every one in Metro Vancouver. To celebrate this glorious gift, Tsawwassen holds its annual Sun Festival during the first weekend of August. There is lots of fun for the whole family to enjoy, including popular slo-pitch and volleyball tournaments, a car show, children’s midway, live entertainment and free outdoor movie nights.

Visit our cozy neighbourhood pub or beautiful, casual fine dining restaurant For a great time where we have a PASSION for GREAT FOOD and GREAT SERVICE. All meals prepared from scratch with freshest, finest, seasonal ingredients available. Many gluten free dishes availble.

May-September: two heated patios overlooking the Marina.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Delta Adventure Playground Delta is bringing back excitement this summer with the re-opening of its adventure playgrounds, located at the South Delta Recreation Centre and the North Delta Recreation Centre. Adventure playgrounds are designed to re-introduce children to play on their own, while encouraging imagination and facilitating decision-making skills. Playground visitors can interact with a variety of objects that will encourage them to play, build, create, use their imagination and be adventurous and active, all while learning to assess their own risk. The adventure playground will reopen in summer 2018 for the season. Check delta.ca for opening dates and details.

Millennium Trail This picturesque walk connects Ladner to Deas Island. From Captain’s Cove Marina, the trail leads along the waterfront, passing under the Deas Slough highway bridge before winding past the Marina Garden Estates. Walk along the fantastic farmland trails and follow the dikes to Deas Island Regional Park.

Deas Island Regional Park Located in the south arm of the Fraser River, Deas Island offers serene walks through tall cottonwood trees and the chance to explore the habitats of eagles, owls, frogs and otters. The sheltered, calm waters of Deas Slough are ideal for paddling and are home to the Deas Island Rowing Club. Bring a paddleboard or a kayak and drift along the waterway as well. On the island, you’ll find Burrvilla, a carefully restored Queen Anne-style house built in 1905, as well as the historic one-room Inverholme Schoolhouse.

BIKE TRAILS Delta is home to some of the best biking in the Lower Mainland. With low elevation, cyclists can enjoy bike rides of any length throughout any of Delta’s three communities. Here are the top three places to enjoy cycling in Delta:

Boundary Bay

This is the perfect cycling experience for ocean lovers. Enjoy scenic sea-side views while cycling along the dikes. The trail can be accessed from the east side of Tsawwassen near the U.S. border and extends all the way to the limits of Delta adjacent to Mud Bay. Ambitious riders can even attempt to cycle along the oceanfront from Tsawwassen all the way to the town of White Rock.

Millennium Trail

One of the best ways to experience Ladner is by biking along the Millennium Trail to Deas Island.

Start in the heritage fishing village of Ladner and cycle past the South Arm Marshes along the Fraser River to Deas Island Regional Park. Once there, explore the island on foot; cycling is not permitted on any of the park’s pathways.

Watershed Park

Travelling through Watershed Park makes you feel like you are miles away from the city. Cyclists of all levels can enjoy up to 10 different trails. Visitors can access the park from three different locations: two on Kittson Parkway, and one on Highway 10 between Scott Road/120th Street and Highway 91.

MORE TO EXPLORE Point Roberts and Lighthouse Park Points Roberts, WA, is one of only three spots in the U.S. that are only accessible by land through Canada. Point Roberts came to existence in 1846 when the international borders were set, separating the area from the rest of Washington state. The isolated town is home to about 1,500 year-round residents. The border between Tsawwassen and Point Roberts is open 24/7. A passport or an enhanced driver’s licence is required to cross the border.

When visiting Point Roberts, be sure to check out Lighthouse Park, located at the southwest corner of the peninsula. The beach is a prime spot for whale watching, dog walking and sunset photography, as well as kayak and boat launching. Enjoy panoramic views of the Georgia Strait, and watch for birds such as seabirds, loons, grebes, terns and jaegers.

Water Sports and Fishing With shallow, warm waters and breezy, sunny conditions, Delta is the perfect place for anyone who wants to experience life on the water. Kayak along the shore and up through the delta of the Fraser River, or stick closer to land and try skimboarding or windsurfing. Saltwater fishing is also popular in the area. Various outfits provide tours for visitors to see bald eagles, snow geese, sea lions, harbour seals and more.

Access to Ferries Delta is surrounded by water on three sides (the Fraser River to the north, Boundary Bay to the south and the Strait of Georgia to the west) and the city of Surrey to the east. Located within the municipality is the Tsawwassen ferry terminal, the busiest ferry terminal in all of British Columbia. From there, travellers can walk, bike or drive onto a ferry bound for Victoria (Swartz Bay) or Nanaimo (Duke Point) on Vancouver Island, or any of the Southern Gulf Islands.

Tsawwassen Mills and Tsawwassen Commons Shopping Malls Since opening its doors in October 2016, Tsawwassen Mills has become one of the Lower Mainland’s premier shopping destinations. Located just off of Highway 17 at 52nd Street, and only minutes from the BC Ferries terminal, Tsawwassen Mills has over 200 shops and services that include a unique mix of premium fashion brands, factory outlets, restaurants and first-tomarket retailers, as well as a 1,100-seat food hall.

EXPERIENCE BIRDING

Bird’s-Eye View Delta is renowned for its bird habitats and bird viewing experiences. Millions of birds call the Delta wetlands their home every year, and approximately 250 different species of birds migrate in and out of the area along the Pacific flyway, stopping to feed and rest during these long journeys. About 50,000 or so Dunlin spend the winter at Boundary Bay with their friends, the black-bellied plovers.

Up to 100,000 snow geese migrate to Delta from Russia every fall. Visitors are treated to sightings of ducks, geese, snowbirds, songbirds, swans, herons, eagles, hawks, and owls (to name a few) throughout the year.

Roberts Bank, Boundary Bay and the Fraser River Estuary rank as some of the most important birding areas in Canada. Guided walks with local experts are also available in Delta through the Reifel Bird Sanctuary or with the Birds on the Bay program.

Ornithological Congress Vancouver is hosting the 27th International Ornithological Congress Aug. 19-26, 2018.

Considered the oldest and most prestigious of meetings for bird scientists, the congress has occurred every four years since first being held in Vienna, Austria, in 1884. Canada has hosted only once previously (Ottawa in 1986) and Vancouver will be the first time the congress has been on the Pacific West Coast. Delta will showcase its abundance of bird species through multiple tours, consisting of one-day and multi-day events coordinated through the 2018 International Ornithological Congress.

For more information visit iocongress2018.com.

Bird Festival The Vancouver International Bird Festival (VIBF) was created to build on the success of Vancouver Bird Week, which has been enjoyed in the city since 2013. This year, 16 | Visitors’ Choice Delta

VIBF is partnering with the International Ornithological Congress to celebrate the world of birds. The festival is a public celebration that partners with community groups such as the City of Delta to create a celebration of birds and nature, culminating in a Bird Festival and Expo to engage the public in a love of nature through birds. The Expo will showcase organizations, speakers, suppliers of optical and other bird watching equipment, tour companies and others who are engaging the public in the love of nature.

For more information visit vanbirdfest.com.

Viewing Tips

• While the majority of Burns Bog may

• • •

be closed off to the public, the Delta Nature Reserve is still a great place for wildlife viewing. Watch for black-tailed deer, songbirds and several species of salamanders, to name a few.

Ladner Harbour is a great spot for viewing herons, swans, ducks, red-winged blackbirds and other feathered friends.

Check tide levels; low tide means the birds are located further away from the shore.

Explore Delta’s wildlife during quieter times, like early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society OWL is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rehabilitation and release of injured and orphaned animals. They offer guided tours on the weekends from September to June, and daily tours in July and August between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Visit their website for more information.
