10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Sunday, August 30, 2026

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: 5K, 7K, 10K

Trail Rating: 1B

*** Registration starts 30 minutes prior to start time. All walkers must register no later than 5 minutes prior to start time. ***
