DISCOVER VANCOUVER CANADA!
Vancouver
is an exciting city situated on the water with imposing mountains just a 15 minute ride from center city.
Stanley
Park
is within walking distance from the hotel, as are the waterfront,
Granville
Island
outdoor market, trendy Yaletown and the Gastown District with its pub scene. Many attendees may want to take advantage of the wonderful opportunity to visit the environs as well, including the
Okanagan
Valley
during the wine harvest and the
Rocky Mountains
. Whistler, a short train ride away and site of the 2010 Winter Olympics, has the steepest rise from sea level of any ski area, and the capital city of Victoria on Vancouver Island is not to be missed.
