Transportation links, particularly the George Massey Tunnel, continued to support Ladner and Tsawwassen’s economic development. Farmers and fishers in both communities now had dependable access to Vancouver’s markets, allowing for the distribution of fresh produce and seafood.
With over 21 million passengers annually (pre-pandemic), BC Ferries operates a vast network of vessels, terminals, and onboard services, making it a prime partner for local businesses looking to expand their reach.
Since its opening in 2016, Tsawwassen Mills has emerged as a major economic driver in South Delta, attracting shoppers, tourists, and national retailers to the region.
One of the most significant infrastructure developments was the transition from ferry reliance to the construction of the George Massey Tunnel. For years, the Deas Island Ferry was the only route connecting Ladner, Tsawwassen, and nearby areas to Richmond and Vancouver.
Today, Ladner is known for its charming historic buildings, the Ladner Village Market, and its commitment to preserving both its agricultural and environmental heritage.
