Great Blue Heron Way

A short, peaceful ride with boardwalk paths, coastal views, and a surprising sense of escape.

Sometimes when riding we think…where in the world are we? 

This is a little gem of a ride is short and great for beginners.  Located near the Tsawwassen ferry terminal, and is a quiet meander with a fantastic boardwalk.

Ducks line the shores and wildflowers bloom — a quiet oasis just outside the city.

sməq̓ʷaʔ xeł ~ the Great Blue Heron Way – a trail connecting communities – is the vision of Tsawwassen First Nation Elder x^wasteniya Ruth Adams. Her vision is to reconnect First Nations Communities around the Salish Sea and along the Sto:lo (Fraser River) on existing and new pathways.

This project works in partnership to interlink multi-use greenways for active transportation such as walking and cycling in communities, helps towards meaningful reconciliation for First Nations and their neighbours along a healing pathway, and gives an opportunity for Indigenous-led cultural awareness through BC and across Canada.

This short section through the Tsawwassen First Nation is a small part of the entire vision.
