VANCOUVER
Vancouver has been called exciting, dynamic, amazing,
vibrant, multicultural and cosmopolitan. Combining the
beauty of the Pacific Ocean, the majesty of the Coastal
Mountains, and a mild climate makes Vancouver one of the
most intriguing cities in the world. It is an outdoor city -
offering the health enthusiasts a wide range of sports.
Vancouver has been chosen to host the 2010 Winter
Olympics. Visitors of all ages will find activities to satisfy all
expectations of this Canadian treasure.

THE CITY#THECITY#
Stanley Park, the jewel of Vancouver,
attracts visitors and residents alike to
enjoy the outdoors at its finest. Art
museums, live theatre, horse racing, or
cruising the waters around Vancouver are
only a few of the many activities available.
The strength of Vancouver lies in her
diverse ethic groups, each adding to the
charm, colour and flavour of the city. While
shopping, dining or enjoying the
magnificent outdoor activities, one can
hear a myriad of languages, all blending
into a beautiful sound; English and Chinese
are the most predominant languages. Like
many other dynamic cities,
neighbourhoods define Vancouver:
Gastown, a charming and historic area with
cobblestone streets, small shops and
intimate restaurants; Kilsilano, a casual
and health conscious neighbourhood;
Chinatown, with its traditional architectural
and large open air markets; and Robson
Street, known for its fashionable boutique
shopping and one-of-a-kind eateries.
It is no wonder that Vancouver has been
named one of the most beautiful and
liveable cites in the world!
