Welcome to <strong>Vancouver</strong><br />
The <strong>MTS</strong>/<strong>IEEE</strong>-OES <strong>Oceans</strong> <strong>2007</strong> <strong>Vancouver</strong><br />
Committee is looking forward to welcoming you<br />
to Super Natural British Columbia. Dazzling ocean<br />
and mountain views, dense forest, lush parkland<br />
and stretches of coastline create an atmosphere<br />
that blends the natural beauty of the outdoors<br />
with the cosmopolitan bustle of contemporary<br />
urban life.<br />
<strong>Vancouver</strong> is a dynamic and multicultural<br />
city located in a spectacular natural environment.<br />
No wonder it was voted “Best City in the<br />
Americas” by Conde Nast Traveler magazine<br />
for three years in a row. Regardless of what time<br />
of year you visit you can enjoy both indoor and<br />
outdoor activities from the relaxing to the extreme.<br />
You can also enjoy world class shopping, gourmet<br />
dining, exceptional live entertainment & theatre<br />
and exciting sporting events.<br />
The <strong>Vancouver</strong> Convention and Exhibition Centre<br />
Located in the <strong>Vancouver</strong> harbour, the awardwinning<br />
VCEC provides excellent conference<br />
facilities while offering delegates one of the most<br />
beautiful settings and breathtaking views. With<br />
easy access to all downtown <strong>Vancouver</strong> has to<br />
offer, sites like historic Gastown and Stanley Park,<br />
to the many fi ne restaurants and world-class shopping,<br />
are only steps away.<br />
Famous for its “Five Sails” – a landmark in the city<br />
of <strong>Vancouver</strong> – the VCEC opened in July 1987<br />
after originally being the Canada Pavilion at<br />
the EXPO 86 World Fair. Construction is currently<br />
underway to expand the facility to nearly triple<br />
the existing space, in preparation to serve as the<br />
broadcast and media centre for the 2010 Olympic<br />
and Paralympic Winter Games.<br />
