We invite you to join us in Vancouver, British Columbia, the gateway to our
four-season playground and the rest of Canada. Located on the west coast,
Vancouver is a world-class, multicultural city situated between majestic coastal
mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Rainforests, sparkling waterways and seasonal
foliage have inspired others to confer accolades of “Most Liveable” and “Most
Beautiful” on our city.
We invite you to explore our historic, educational and cultural facilities.
Experience our sights, sounds and scenery with activities ranging from sedate
walking tours to strolls in our parks and to more challenging hike on our
mountains.
