About Vancouver Canada Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is consistently rated as one of its most livable cities. Vancouver is located in the southwest corner of Canada in the province of British Columbia, next to the Pacific Ocean. Vancouver is adjacent to the Strait of Georgia, a body of water that is shielded from the Pacific Ocean by Vancouver Island. Vancouver is surrounded by water on three sides and overlooked by the Coast Range with mountains that rise abruptly to more than 1,500 metres. The climate in Vancouver is one of the mildest in Canada with temperatures averaging 3°C in January and 18°C in July, and most rainfall occurring during winter. Vancouver, with a population of about 600,000 and an area of 114 square km is the largest city in the province of British Columbia and the third largest city in Canada. More than 2 million people live and work in the Vancouver region. Canada's transcontinental highway and rail routes terminate in Vancouver and the Port of Vancouver is Canada's largest and most diversified port, trading more than $43 billion in goods annually. In recent years, Vancouver has expanded as a centre for software development and biotechnology, while the streets provide a backdrop for the developing film industry. The central Business District has 60% of the Vancouver region's office space and is headquarters for forest products and mining companies as well as branches of national and international banks, accounting and law firms. Vancouver is considered to be a relaxed city with a lively cultural scene, many diversions, and year-round access to outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, boating, and skiing. The city of Vancouver has developed a reputation as a tolerant city that is open to social experimentation and alternative lifestyles as well as being willing to explore alternative drug policies. Vancouver contains the second largest Chinatown in North America with a diverse Chinese-speaking community speaking several different dialects. Other multicultural neighbourhoods in Vancouver include the Punjabi Market, Little Italy, Greektown, Japantown, and a series of Koreatowns. Vancouver is a major tourist destination with its scenic city location, beautiful gardens, world-famous Stanley Park (one of North America's largest urban parks), and a combination of natural forest and parklands. Vancouver has more high-rises, per capita, than any other city in North America, but most buildings in the downtown area are restricted to a height of around 90-30 metres to protect mountain views. Vancouver is an exciting and lively city, boasting an impressive number of activities and attractions for both the one-time visitor and the local residents. The relatively mild winter temperatures and long growing season in the Vancouver area are ideal for growing trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetables and there are many excellent home gardens. Prominent theatre companies in Vancouver include the Arts Club Theatre Company, the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company, and Bard on the Beach as well as numerous other smaller companies. Vancouver holds an annual Fringe Festival and International Film Festival. Vancouver is a major regional centre for the development of classical, folk and popular Canadian music. The Vancouver Art Gallery and the Vancouver Maritime Museum are popular tourist attractions and the Museum of Anthropology at UBC is a leading museum depicting the culture of Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations. The nearby North Shore mountains are home to three ski hills - Cypress Bowl, Grouse Mountain, and Mount Seymour - each within 20 to 30 minutes of downtown Vancouver. Three rivers - Capilano River, Lynn Creek, Seymour River - each within 20 minutes of downtown Vancouver provide opportunities for white water enthusiasts during periods of rain and spring melt. Sports fans cheer for the Vancouver Canucks (ice hockey) and the British Columbia Lions (football). |
