People living in Vancouver love
to get outside and be active.
Because the temperature is mild
year-round, you can participate
in various outdoor activities like
hiking, cycling, skiing and
snowboarding, kayaking or
mountain biking. The Greater
Vancouver area has a variety of
cultural sites and activities,
including galleries, museums,
theatres, shopping and worldclass
food.
