Vancouver (i/væŋˈkuːvər/ or /vænˈkuːvər/) officially the City of Vancouver, is a coastal seaport city on the mainland of British Columbia, Canada.
The 2011 census recorded 603,502 people in the city, making it the eighth largest Canadian municipality. The Greater Vancouver area of around 2.4 million inhabitants is the third most populous metropolitan area in the country, the second largest city on the United States–Canada border, and the most populous in Western Canada. Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada; 52% of its residents have a first language other than English. Vancouver is classed as a Beta global city. The City of Vancouver encompasses a land area of about 114 square kilometres, giving it a population density of about 5,249 people per square kilometre (13,590 per square mile). Vancouver is the most densely populated Canadian municipality, and the fourth most densely populated city with over 250,000 residents in North America, behind New York City, San Francisco, and Mexico City.
Granville Island is a peninsula and shopping district in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is located across False Creek from Downtown Vancouver, under the south end of the Granville Street Bridge. The peninsula was once an industrial manufacturing area, but today it is now a hotspot for Vancouver tourism and entertainment. The area has received much acclaim in recent years for its buildings and shopping experience. The area was named after Granville Leveson-Gower, 2nd Earl Granville.
The city of Vancouver was once called Granville until it was renamed in 1886, but the former name was kept and given to Granville Street, which spanned the small inlet known as False Creek. False Creek in the late 19th century was more than twice the size it is today, and its tidal flats included a large permanent sandbar over which spanned the original, rickety, wooden Granville Street bridge. This sandbar, which would eventually become Granville Island, was first mapped by Captain George Henry Richards in the British Boundary Commission's naval expedition in 1858-59, and the island today conforms roughly to the size and shape documented at that time. A British Admiralty Chart of 1893 shows the island in greater detail and conforming even more accurately to today's Granville Island.

The city takes its name from the British navigator who landed here in 1792. The original settlement was called “Gastown”, in honor of Gassy Jack, who built the city’s first tavern. Gassy Jack and his makeshift pub may be long gone, but in the historic neighborhood of Gastown, his spirit lingers on. Vancouver’s early history continues at Waterfront Station, the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The railway’s construction brought Chinese workers by the thousands, whose descendants have enriched Vancouver ever since. Experience this interweaving of cultu...

▶ Subscribe for weekly videos - http://gunnarol.la/subscribe ▶ Watch more travel videos - http://gunnarol.la/travel My cross-country adventure concludes in Vancouver, British Columbia - one of my favourite cities in Canada. It's got everything: mountains, nature, restaurants (sushi!), arts, and culture. It's a big city with the friendliest people and a laid-back west coast vibe. I was pretty exhausted by the time I got there (I had just visited 4 other cities, you know) so instead of an action-packed adventure, I took things easy. But rather than subject you to an hour of footage of me in a hot tub, I put together a video featuring some of my favourite things to do when I'm in Vancity. Take a look!

Photographed while on vacation in Western Canada (08/28/2010 - 09/07/2010). Due to the extremely volatile weather in the Canadian Rockies, it was a challenging adventure to capture enough time-lapse content in such a short period of time. I'm eager to return and venture deeper into the beautiful landscapes. Original music and sound design by Michael Wynne.

The Nathan E. Stewart/DBL 54 is an articulated tug/barge" (ATB) and is owned by the Texas-based Kirby Corporation, which is one of the largest petroleum product ATB operators in the USA. It travels back and forth up the B.C. Inside Passage by “special waiver" which exempts it from Transport Canada shipping regulations. These guide the movement of all other tankers operating in BC waters. As a result, it operates here with no Canadian pilots on board, it does not require escort tugs while maneuvering in Port Metro Vancouver, and most egregiously, it is allowed to travel north through Seymour Narrows and into the "voluntary tanker exclusion zone" that is the B.C. Inside Passage. As such, this unflagged foreign vessel blatantly flouts the concerns of the people of Canada, and operates here se...

“Steeped in English Tradition and Colourful Charm” is how our Port Guide describes this little city that sits on Vancouver Island. Today’s highlight was Victoria’s famous Butchart Gardens (Butchart pronounced like Butcher). What started out as a worked-out limestone quarry, Jennie Butchart set about beautifying the estate by creating these magnificent gardens. The sunken garden being the most famous was once a very large pit. On entering, you look down to a stunning view of the masses of colour of the carefully planned garden. Following the zig zag staircase down, you continue along the path and around the pond with a surprise at every turn. There are gardens to suit every taste including Japanese, Rose, Italian and Mediterranean. Many of the unique and exotic plants were collecte...
