Vancouver scene WAO Congress–XVIII ICACI Final Program ABOUT VANCOUVER In Vancouver, a modern cosmopolitan city, majestic mountains, sparkling ocean, a spectacular harbor and sandy beaches set the mood for a warm West Coast welcome. So Much to See and Do Visitors to downtown Vancouver can explore Stanley Park, a magnificent setting of 1,000 acres of lush forest surrounded by the sea; Gastown, a restored heritage area where the city began; Chinatown, the second largest in North America; Robson Street, a delightful European style shopping section; as well as the Vancouver Museum, Art Gallery and the impressive new city library. Nearby places of interest include Granville Island, with its large market and specialty restaurants; Queen Elizabeth Park and its Sunken Garden; and the University of British Columbia with its outstanding Museum of Anthropology and Nitobe Gardens. Shopping for exquisite West Coast native carvings, masks and prints is a must. Enjoy world-class dining; fine French cuisine, sumptuous Chinese cooking, delectable Indian food and elegant Japanese sushi. The local delicacies are fresh fish and seafood from the Pacific Ocean and fresh fruits and vegetables from the Fraser Valley. Getting Around Vancouver – Public Transit A modern public transit system reaches every area of the city. Buses serve Vancouver and its surrounding suburbs. The SkyTrain (a light rapid transit train) connects the downtown area to the outlying areas. The SeaBus, a 10 minute cruise and sightseeing delight, is an extension of the SkyTrain and travels across the harbor between downtown and the North Shore. Weekly and daily passes on public transit allowing unlimited travel may be purchased. Tickets and transfers are dispensed by bus drivers (exact change only), by machines at SkyTrain stations and SeaBus terminals and at corner store ticket outlets located throughout the city. Transportation information is available at the Tourism Vancouver information desk located in the lobby of the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre. Language English is the predominant language in British Columbia. Many hotels, restaurants, stores, taxis, banks, airline offices and major visitor attractions have multilingual staff. Credit Cards Major credit cards are accepted in hotels, restaurants and stores. First Nations Totem Pole 19 Taxes A Provincial sales tax of 7% is applied to most purchases; however, goods purchased by a visitor and shipped directly to their home outside of the province of British Columbia are exempt from this tax. A Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 7% is applied to most goods and services. Hotel accommodations in the Vancouver area are taxed at 10% plus 7% GST. Visitors residing outside of Canada are eligible for a GST rebate and must have their receipts stamped by Canadian Customs upon departure. Details, restrictions and rebate forms are available at government agencies (border crossings, post offices), at the airport and at the Tourism Vancouver information desk located in the lobby of the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre. Upon departure from Vancouver, a small airport tax is charged. Currency Canada has a currency system based on dollars and cents; $1=100 cents. In July 2003 the exchange rate was $1.35 Canadian dollars (CDN) = $1 US dollar (USD). This exchange rate is subject to change. Currency exchange services are available at points of entry, at Vancouver financial institutions and at most hotels. Weather Vancouver has the mildest climate in Canada. The average high temperature in September is a very pleasant 18°C (65°F). The average low is 10°C (50°F). Electricity Electricity in Canada is 110 volt AC (alternating current), as in the United States. Time Difference During the Congress, Vancouver will be eight hours behind Greenwich Mean Time.
