  • Vancouver, British Columbia Destination Guide
    Vancouver, British Columbia Destination Guide Overview of Vancouver Vancouver is bustling, vibrant and diverse. This gem on Canada's west coast boasts the perfect combination of wild natural beauty and modern conveniences. Its spectacular views and awesome cityscapes are a huge lure not only for visitors but also for big productions, and it's even been nicknamed Hollywood North for its ever-present film crews. Less than a century ago, Vancouver was barely more than a town. Today, it's Canada's third largest city and more than two million people call it home. The shiny futuristic towers of Yaletown and the downtown core contrast dramatically with the snow-capped mountain backdrop, making for postcard-pretty scenes. Approximately the same size as the downtown area, the city's green heart is Canada's largest city park, Stanley Park, covering hundreds of acres filled with lush forest and crystal clear lakes. Visitors can wander the sea wall along its exterior, catch a free trolley bus tour, enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride or visit the Vancouver Aquarium housed within the park. The city's past is preserved in historic Gastown with its cobblestone streets, famous steam-powered clock and quaint atmosphere. Neighbouring Chinatown, with its weekly market, Dr Sun Yat-Sen classical Chinese gardens and intriguing restaurants add an exotic flair. For some retail therapy or celebrity spotting, there is always the trendy Robson Street. During the winter months, snow sports are the order of the day on nearby Grouse Mountain. It's perfect for skiing and snowboarding, although the city itself gets more rain than snow.

  • Dead Seal in Fraser River Park
    Page 1 From: "Johnston, Sadhu" <[email protected]> To: "Direct to Mayor and Council - DL" <[email protected]> Date: 4/28/2016 2:13:57 PM Subject: Dead seal in Fraser River Park Greetings Mayor and Council- There is a sea lion carcass on the shoreline adjacent to Fraser River Park that has been decaying for quite some time causing an unpleasant odour. Because of the advanced state of decay, it’s been a challenge to determine how best to remove the remains without their disintegrating further and dispersing along the shore. City Engineering and Fire, with advice from Department of Fisheries, Coast Guard and Vancouver Aquarium staff, have decided this morning that burning away the carcass is the best solution. This is a common practice in many coastal communities according to the Aquarium. Park Board staff will assist in trimming back to any surrounding foliage while Engineering/Sanitation will set the fire. VF&RS is providing a water curtain to protect any remaining foliage just above the shoreline. The carcass, according to the Vancouver Aquarium, would supply fuel and should burn in its entirety. VF&RS intends to wash down the rocks afterwards. This approach, while environmentally unpleasant due to combustion, will in fact rid the shoreline of the carcass. As burning within the City boundaries is not allowed under the Fire Bylaw, the Fire Chief is issuing a special permit. This will take place tomorrow. Please call or email if you have questions or comments. Thanks Sadhu Sadhu Aufochs Johnston City Manager [email protected] O.

  • Filming Guidelines for the Vancouver Aquarium
    Filming Guidelines for the Vancouver Aquarium The Vancouver Aquarium, an Ocean Wise Conservation Association initiative (OWCA), has been the backdrop for countless television, film and commercial productions. Our living backdrop and unique variety of sets makes us one of a kind in the city of Vancouver. As an iconic Vancouver location in the heart of Stanley Park, there are many commercial and film / photo shoot opportunities on-site. This document clarifies the terms and conditions required to proceed with your booking, highlighting our procedures to ensure animal and guest safety. Please note: The film production must be in alignment with the Vancouver Aquarium’s mission and image, and the OWCA reserves the absolute right to grant or deny permission and to determine the terms under which filming may be permitted. Before You Film Permission Ocean Wise is a self-supporting non-profit charitable organization. Our visitors and members are entitled to enjoy the entire Vancouver Aquarium facility, and filming must not detract from our visitors’ overall experience. Filming takes place outside of our hours of operation (see ‘Filming Hours’ on page 5), unless expressed permission is granted. For space closure requests, in whole or part, a minimum of 2 weeks is required for approval, in addition to advance notice. Advance Notice A minimum of two weeks advance notice is required for thorough planning and site visits with all stakeholders. While the Vancouver Aquarium will make every effort to accommodate last minute requests, we will not consider requests with less than 72 hours notice. The Vancouver Aquarium is unable to “hold” location requests for filming without receiving a 50 percent deposit on the total fees.

  • Provincial Public Library Grant Report (Plgr) 2019 North Vancouver City Library
    PROVINCIAL PUBLIC LIBRARY GRANT REPORT (PLGR) 2019 NORTH VANCOUVER CITY LIBRARY INTRODUCTION The City of North Vancouver (the “City”) is a small community located at the base of the mountains on the North Shore. It is bounded to the south by the Burrard Inlet, and the District of North Vancouver to the east and west. With a land area of approximately 12 square kilometres, the City supports a population of 57,325 people. Due to its central location on the North Shore, relatively high density, transit accessibility with a SeaBus connection, and proximity to Vancouver’s central business district, the City is recognized as a Regional Town Centre within the Metro Vancouver region. The City of North Vancouver’s population continues to flourish, and grew by 353 residents (0.6%) between 2018 and 2019. Recent census documents tell us that 67% of the population speaks English or French, with 32% identifying English as a second language. The most predominant languages after English are Farsi, Tagalog, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Korean and Spanish. We have a large contingent of newcomers in the community due its relative affordability. Settlement support and services are in high demand. Other trends show that the population is aging, over 16% of the population is over the age of 65 and it is predicted that this percentage will increase. At the same time, there are more young people than ever and this population is growing at one of the fastest rates in Metro Vancouver. The City’s Official Community Plan (OCP), adopted in 2014, provides direction while balancing the diverse needs of the community.
