Information about North Delta
North Delta, British Columbia is a largely middle-class bedroom community situated in the Lower Mainland, in British Columbia, Canada. The community is the most populous of the three communities (North Delta, Ladner, and Tsawwassen) that make up the Corporation of Delta. North Delta is home to numerous parks and recreational opportunities. Alongside North Delta is Burns Bog, the largest raised peat urban bog in North America. As well, Watershed Park provides walking and biking trails, home to many artesian aquifers. Besides this, North Delta is home to a large amount of green-space.
Location
North Delta borders Surrey on the east side by Scott Road (or 120th Street), and on the north side by 96th Avenue and the Fraser River. To the north across the river is Annacis Island and Richmond, accessible via the Alex Fraser Bridge. Burns Bog is to the west, bordered by Highway 91. Clark Drive in Panorama Ridge, Surrey marks the community boundary to the south.
Schools
North Delta has five high schools. North Delta Senior Secondary, Seaquam Secondary, Sands, Burnsview, and Delview, along with numerous elementary schools. Up until the 2004 - 2005 school year, Sands, Burnsview, and Delview were Junior Secondary schools, only offering courses from grades 8 to 10. Graduates from these three schools would usually feed into North Delta Senior Secondary, which contained only grade 11 and 12 curriculum; Seaquam Secondary was the only complete grade 8 to 12 secondary school in North Delta. Incidentally, North Delta Secondary would typically have one of the largest graduating classes in British Columbia. Despite the controversey surrounding the reconfiguration, as of the 2004 - 2005, the three feeder schools were reconfigured to include grade 11 and 12 classes while North Delta Secondary would include junior level courses as well.
Elementary schools in North Delta include McCloskey, Cougar Canyon, Devon Gardens, Chalmers, Sunshine Hills, Pinewood, Heath, Sunbury, Annieville, Hellings and Gray.

A third, North Delta Recreational Centre, is also found in North Delta and contains numerous ice rinks and an outdoor pool. Lying adjacent to the North Delta Recreational Centre is a small kids' camp and a larger softball park.
