Delta is a gateway for Canada’s trade with the world

Delta is home to Canada’s largest container terminal

The majority of items you use every day arrive in a container

Canada exports numerous commodities in shipping containers, such as cherries from the Okanagan, specialty grains from the Prairies and wood products from B.C.
