VANCOUVER

Vancouver Quick Facts

Located on Canada's west coast, Vancouver Canada's "Gateway to the Pacific." Her natural beauty can be seen: from the beaches of Kitsilano and the West End to the greenery of Queen Elizabeth Park and the North Shore mountains. Incorporated in 1886, Vancouver is a main transportation hub; grain and natural resources are exported and container traffic from Asia arrive daily. From May to October, cruiseships call on Vancouver as thousands of visitors cruise BC's Inside Passage to Alaska. Vancouver's ethnicity has developed over the years; from the Chinese who came to Canada to build the transcontinental railroad in the 1880's to all walks of life that have come to Canada for a better life.
