How do you say Tsawwassen and Swartz?

Question

My dad is planning a trip to canada and does anyone know how to say these names? They're terminals.

Answer 1

Some people say the "T" in Tsawwasen is silent, most don't.  The common pronunciation is TA-WA-SEN.  Those who drop th "T" will pronounce it SA-WA-SEN.  Either way, people will know what you're talking about.  Swartz is pronounced SH-WARTZ

Tsawwasen Bay ferry terminal is south of Vancouver in Delta, BC.  Ferries travel from Tsawwasen to Nanaimo (NA-NI-MO) on Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and Swartz Bay.  Swartz Bay is the ferry terminal just north of Victoria.  

Answer 2

The "T" is silent in Tsawassen and Swartz is pronounced like "Warts" with an "S"  

Answer 3

The T is silent and the 2 Ws are pronounced like only one.  "Sawassen"

Swartz is pronounced just as it's spelled.

Answer 4

its from the local aboriginal dialect

"sa-wass-an"   and add "ferry terminal" and everyone will know what ou mean.  

so why did they add the T in english?  Just to make sure you lived here for 2 years before you could pronounce it.

like Coquitlam,
