Delta - Tsawwassen FN - Farm and Industry Walk


March 31, 2024

Tsawwassen FN – Farm & Industry Walk

Malls and crops and oceans…oh, my! This walk has it all. We walk the length of the Tsawwassen Mills Mall, passing by a gigantic bear sculpture and ending at the giant “Bass Pro” aquarium. We then venture outside and follow a shady path bordering farmland. Our journey continues through the new Tsawwassen Shores and Peregrine South housing developments, through the Tsawwassen Reserve then eventually onto a boardwalk where we enjoy a scenic view of the foreshore and Georgia Strait intertidal zone. In the distance, you will see the Roberts Bank and Deltaport shipping terminals, two of the major terminals for exports from our country. We loop back to our start point, passing by a very old aboriginal cemetery and some walkers may wish to pause and pay their respects. Old and new – this is a walk of great contrasts. The 7k goes through the residential section of the TFN and also incorporates a lengthy boardwalk over the salt marshes.

Start Location: We will meet inside Tsawwassen Mills mall entrance #3.

Distances: 7k/10k

Trail Rating: 1B

Richmond - Terra Nova - West Dyke & Railway Greenway


April 2, 2024

Come Walk With Us on part of the old railway route now converted to walking paths as we walk to the Middle Arm Dyke pathway. While walking on this dyke trail beside the Middle Arm of the Fraser River we get to watch many planes taking off and landing at the Vancouver Airport. As we continue, this Middle Arm Dyke path changes to the West Dyke path and if it is the right time of the year, you will see many herons, eagles and thousands of Snow Geese. Don’t miss this walk. This is one of 11 walks in our “Explore Richmond” series.
