Why Vancouver?
With its stunning scenery and superb quality of life, Vancouver is consistently rated one of the world's best places to live. Located on the southwest coast of the province of British Columbia less than an hour from the US border, Vancouver is surrounded by spectacular beaches and mountains. Vancouver and Whistler, North America's top-rated ski resort, will soon take global centre stage as hosts of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Climate and recreation
Vancouverites enjoy mild temperate weather all year round and have easy access to many outdoor activities including hiking, golf, sailing, kayaking, fishing and some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world. A 40-kilometre sea wall connects most of the city's waterfront neighborhoods, and bustling downtown Vancouver is bordered by the spectacular 1,000-acre Stanley Park.
Urban culture
With a metro-area population of two million, Vancouver is an exciting cosmopolitan city full of galleries, museums, theaters, world-class shopping districts and a tantalizing array of restaurants. Vancouver has always attracted visitors and immigrants from all over the world, and has evolved into one of the world's most diverse and multicultural cities.
Transportation
Vancouver is a highly accessible city with excellent public transportation, including comprehensive bus routes, the SkyTrain rapid-transit system, and Sea bus service to the North Shore. There are bike lanes and bike paths throughout the city, and many people commute to work by bicycle.
Schools
Families appreciate the high quality of education offered in Vancouver's public and private schools, along with the region's extensive selection of excellent post secondary institutions.
