Vancouver
Destination Vancouver
Vancouver is a place where the sparkling waters of the Pacific Ocean meet the snow-capped peaks of local mountains. Where an
urban rainforest reflects off the glass of our ever-changing skyline. And where an award-winning convention centre, world-renowned
cuisine and collaborative network of hotels are all within walking distance.
But, we don’t just walk here, nestled in nature; we run, jump, ski, surf, start start-ups, get inspired and change the world in it. Vancouver is a hotbed for innovation. Steeped in nature, and knee-deep in startups, it’s no wonder we’re known as the Silicon Valley of the North and have been named one of the Top 25 Best Startup Ecosystems in the World.
Maybe it’s our natural playground, our world-class educational institutions, or our deep international connections. Whatever it is, it’s helped to attract, and retain, some of the brightest minds in business. And you’ll see why, as your nine-to-five is fueled by fresh air and unique perspectives, and your five-to-nine is equally as inspired, with year-round activities for solo or team adventures alike. Small enough to conquer on foot; but filled with the kind of culture, cuisine and friendly neighborhoods that let you live like a local, in one of the world’s cleanest and most walkable cities.
Our city is collaborative, a place where everyone is welcome, where honouring the traditional lands we reside on and celebrating our differences enables us to see the world differently. And, inspire those who come here to share that same unique perspective
