Natural

Vancouver is a city of beautiful trees. The city holds thousands of acres of regional park spaces that feature lush forests and diverse wildlife. Stanley Park, the crown jewel of Vancouver, is a must-see, with its towering trees, picturesque seawall path, and diverse recreational choices.

Coastal

From the Pacific Ocean to surrounding rivers, streams, lakes, and of course rain, Vancouver is surrounded by water. The fall and winter rains ensure greenery through warm summers and provide a fresh start for the city’s streets. The Vancouver Coast is crowded with sea life and provides a wealth of professional and recreational possibilities.
