About Vancouver

Mountains, Beaches, and the Largest Park in North America. 

Vancouver, or the “Hollywood of the North” (its TV production comes second after Los Angeles), is a stunning beauty with all of the aforementioned amenities within minutes of downtown. It’s no wonder why Greenpeace was established here.

Fun Fact: All of the grey squirrels found in Stanley Park are descendants of eight pairs of grey squirrels that Vancouver received as a gift from New York City in 1909. Talk about a prolific present!

Did you know the California Roll was invented in Vancouver? Chef Hidekazu Tojo came up with this universally loved roll in the 1970s. Treat yourself to a visit to his restaurant and savor his award-winning creations. Your taste buds won’t be disappointed.

Pack your outdoorsy things and come hungry. Vancouver and its amazing offerings are waiting for you!
