💡 About Vancouver

Vancouver, on Canada's Pacific coast, is consistently ranked among the most liveable cities in the world — a place where a glass-tower skyline meets snow-capped mountains, temperate rainforest and the ocean, all within the city limits.

Ringed by the Coast Mountains, Vancouver is a paradise for outdoor lovers: you can ski in the morning and sail in the afternoon. Stanley Park, a 400-hectare rainforest peninsula ringed by a seawall, is one of the great urban parks on Earth.

Home to one of the largest Asian communities in North America, Vancouver has an exceptional food scene and a genuinely multicultural character. It hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics and serves as the hub of Canada's film industry, earning the nickname "Hollywood North."
