Tsawwassen, Coastal settlement in Delta, Canada

Tsawwassen occupies a peninsula in southwestern Delta, British Columbia, stretching across 12.91 square kilometers with access to Boundary Bay and the Strait of Georgia.

The Spanish explorer José María Narváez first documented European contact with Tsawwassen in 1791, recording the presence of salmon and indigenous communities in the region.

The Tsawwassen First Nation maintains 724 hectares of treaty settlement land following a 2009 agreement with British Columbia, preserving their ancestral connection to the area.

The Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal connects the Lower Mainland to Vancouver Island and the southern Gulf Islands through regular maritime service across the Strait of Georgia.

The community serves as the sole road access point to Point Roberts, Washington, creating an international gateway through Canadian territory to reach this American enclave.
