| About Vancouver |
| Vancouver is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities
in the world. It is ideally situated, on the Pacific coast,
in the province of British Columbia. It has scenic, snow-capped
mountains, sandy beaches, beautiful parks, and the warmest climate
in Canada. There are elegant, modern buildings alongside beautifully
preserved heritage architecture. There are so many places to
visit and things to do: theatres and |
 |
| cinemas, ballet and opera performances, art galleries
and fashionable boutiques, all within easy walking distance
of each other in the downtown core. |
|
 |
Living in Vancouver, you will find that there is never a
dull moment. There is something for young and old alike. The
night life is fantastic! There are many clubs where you can
dance the night away after dining at your favorite restaurant.
The cuisine is delectable and diverse. You can bike, rollerblade,
jog or walk in Stanley Park along the seawall or take a picnic
lunch, have a casual stroll and see the fantastic flowers and
view at Queen Elizabeth Park. These are only two of Vancouver's
many large and beautiful parks. |
|
| Being a multi-cultural city, people come together all year round
to celebrate the arts, the environment, and cultures of the many different
ethnic groups. Many music festivals are held outdoors during the warm
summer months and viewers often join in the fun of singing and dancing. |
| Because of its perfect location, Vancouver offers a very
wide range of sporting activities for its visitors and residents.
At certain times of the year, you can ski in the morning on
mountain slopes, have a swim in the ocean before lunch and even
play a game of golf or tennis before the evening sets in. While
kayaking, cycling and jogging can be part of your everyday life,
mountain-climbing, hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing
are only a short bus ride away. Whistler Ski Resort, internationally
well known, is only a few hours away and many people enjoy the
exciting night life after having fun |
 |
| on the slopes during the day or simply relax
and enjoy a sauna and swim before hitting the slopes again.

 |
This beautiful city has many accessible indoor activities
including; gyms, swimming pools and yoga studios. Whatever the
choice of activity, you will find a fun and friendly group to
join and share in similar interests with you. |
| The fantastic scenery can be seen from almost every window
in this attractive, fabulous city, but that is not the only
reason to choose Vancouver for your study plans. The Vancouver
Library and art gallery are located nearby. The city is also
full of the kindest, thoughtful, friendliest and most helpful
people you'll meet anywhere in the world. |
