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.
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.
