Westham Island is a pastoral farming community only minutes from Ladner Village. When driving across the single land wooden bridge, you will feel transported miles from the city. With a world class bird sanctuary and many multigenerational family farms, there is no better place to connect with farming culture. Locals tip – stop at one of the great Ladner delis or bakeries to pick up a picnic lunch.
