Tsawwassen
A suburban peninsula community in British Columbia's City of Delta, Tsawwassen is best known as the site of the BC Ferries terminal — built in 1959 on a causeway extending into the Strait of Georgia — connecting the Lower Mainland to Vancouver Island and the southern Gulf Islands. The Tsawwassen First Nation, a Coast Salish people with roots on this land dating to at least 200 B.C., hold treaty settlement lands to the northwest of the community.
