Delta is bordered by the Fraser River to the north with major highway access to neighbouring cities, Richmond, Burnaby and Surrey, and is only 30 minutes (25 km) from Vancouver's city centre. With stunning views of Mount Baker to the south from almost anywhere in the city, the community is centrally located between Washington state’s Peach Arch border crossing and the Vancouver International Airport (YVR), and is home to the BC Ferries Tsawwassen ferry terminal.
Delta is the westernmost community within the Fraser Health region.
Delta is home to nearly 100,000 people who live and work within the many cities of the Lower Mainland.
The farms and pastures provide a distinctive rural character to Delta and produce some of British Columbia’s best turf, vegetables and nursery plants. While fertile soil allows for farming interests in the region to diversify and equestrian facilities to thrive, Delta is also home to aerospace, manufacturing, construction, energy, transportation, deep sea and river shipping, communication and tourism.
Delta has a number of public and private schools from kindergarten through to grade 12, with easy access to post-secondary and higher education institutions in neighbouring cities.
