This, along with its quality of life and standard of living, make this coastal seaport city the third of the most liveable cities in the world.

– A “city of neighborhoods”, Vancouver is home to several neighborhoods with different ethnic mixes. Aside from the English, Scottish, Irish, and Germans, there are also the Asians with Chinese being the largest in number.
– Dubbed as the “Hollywood of the North”, Vancouver comes third to Los Angeles and New York City when it comes to film production.

– For places to visit, check out Kits Pool. At 451 feet, it is Canada’s longest pool and is almost the size of three Olympic pools. Then, head on to Stanley park, which is 10 percent larger than the Central Park in New York.
