Community Info

Delta is home to 100,000 people. We pride ourselves on our past and our growing sustainability. Delta has a hospital, an airport, libraries, museum and archives, sports and recreational facilities, and many bike and walking trails in a diverse network of parks including waterfront parks on the Fraser River, Boundary Bay and Strait of Georgia.

Residents enjoy safe, clean quiet neighbourhoods. The stable prosperity of the community makes it attractive for businesses to choose their preferred location. Delta's estimated household average income is 30% higher than the Canadian average. The municipality has one of the fastest-growing industrial areas in Greater Vancouver.

With a rich farming and agricultural history, Delta has grown into three thriving communities: Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta. Delta is a vibrant community that is rich in soil and water, rich in history and industry and especially rich in people.

Delta encompasses 364 square kilometres bordered by the Fraser River on the north, the U.S. border and Boundary Bay on the south, the District of Surrey on the east and the Strait of Georgia on the west.

Each Delta community is proud of its distinct character and amenities. Above all, people still may find a well-preserved sense of rural living in Delta.

The area is accessible to rail, water and major highways in all directions. Delta is roughly 35 minutes from Vancouver and 25 minutes from the Vancouver International Airport.
