The Region
With its scenic views, mild climate, and friendly people, Vancouver is known around the world as
one of the best places to live and is a popular tourist attraction. Vancouver is also one of the most
ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada with 52% of the population speaking a first
language other than English. Vancouver has been host to many international conferences and
events, including the 2010 Winter Olympics and 2010 Winter Paralympics. The City of Vancouver
is a coastal, seaport city on the mainland of British Columbia. Located on the western half of the
Burrard Peninsula, Vancouver is bounded to the north by English Bay and the Burrard Inlet and to
the south by the Fraser River. The City of Burnaby lies to the east and the Strait of Georgia to the
west. Vancouver Island, across the Strait of Georgia, shields Vancouver from the Pacific Ocean.
