Vancouver, Canada is situated on the Pacific
coast and is one of the world's most beautiful cities.
Surrounded by mountains and water, Vancouver offers
recreation,
entertainment,
professional sport and
tourist
attractions unlike any other city.
Thanks to the current low value of the Canadian
dollar relative to the Euro, Pound and US dollar, food and
accommodation is inexpensive
by world standards. |

Vancouver's mild west coast climate is
comfortable year-round. Beautiful
gardens, parks and
hiking
trails can be found throughout the city. The 4,000 foot
mountains on Vancouver's north shore are snow-covered much of the
year and provide gorgeous view and
recreational opportunities.
There are many wonderful restaurants in Vancouver,
including some fabulous fish restaurants in nearby
Steveston Village, home to
Canada's largest fishing fleet. |

Popular recreational pastimes for Vancouverites
include sailing,
skiing,
golfing,
cycling and
hiking. Three major ski
hills are located within 30 minutes of the downtown core. Vancouver
will be inviting the world to the winter Olympics in 2010.
Vancouver is also the gateway to the
Rocky Mountains, the
Whister Blackcomb ski resort,
the capital city of Victoria and
the state of Alaska. Cruise ships sail for
Alaska daily during the peak summer vacation period. |
