Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal
The Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal is a major transportation facility in Delta, British Columbia. It is located on a three kilometre (2 mi) man-made causeway off the mainland at Tsawwassen and is less than 500 metres (550 yd) from the 49th parallel, Canada's border with the United States. The terminal is part of the BC Ferry system, as well as part of Highway 17.
Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal
Horseshoe Bay is a West Vancouver community of about 1,000 permanent residents. Situated right on the western tip of West Vancouver, at the entrance to Howe Sound, the village marks the western end of Highway 1 on the British Columbia mainland. A major BC Ferries terminal is located here, providing vehicle ferry links to Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, and Bowen Island. There are currently 3 berths at Horseshoe Bay, making it the third largest BC Ferries terminal, after Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay.
River District Site
The story of the Fraser is set once again to become entwined with Vancouver's story—a world-class city on one of the world's greatest rivers. As the city grows, it is rediscovering the delights of living on its southeastern waterfront. You can be part of a new community rooted in a landscape that was the birthplace of our modern city. ParkLane Homes is creating a new 130-acre River District to reconnect Vancouverites with their city's last great waterfront experience.
Come and see what's happening. River District. Here for life.
Downtown Vancouver
Vancouver is growing. It is Canada's third largest city, its busiest port, a gateway to the Pacific, a transportation terminus, tourist destination, centre for business, and home to more than half a million people in a region of two million. This city by the sea attracts business, residents, and millions of visitors each year.
Every day, more than half a million people enter the Downtown core. The area - also known as the Central Business District - is a triangle of land nestled between Burrard Inlet and False Creek. The area - bordered by Stanley Park, the West End, and Cambie Street - is a patchwork of distinct communities, including Yaletown, Gastown, Coal Harbour, and the East False Creek.

A grand plan that’s coming to life
River District is bounded by the Fraser to the south and the rest of Vancouver to the north, so it needs to act like a city that’s not in the city. Over 25 acres of the 130-acre site is devoted to public space, part of a sustainable plan that has a long-term vision.
