When the world recently turned its eyes to Vancouver for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, what it saw wasn’t necessarily what could be, but what had already become—it was laying eyes on the first 21st-century city. An urban metropolis in equal balance with spectacular natural surroundings, the city embodies values of diversity, creativity, and living well. There’s little doubt as to why Vancouver is consistently named the most livable city in the world.

Whether it’s the brightly lit beams of BC Place Stadium, the familiar whir of the Millennium Skytrain Line, or the iconic navigation tower at YVR airport, you can see where and how we’ve made a positive difference in this energetic and exciting community.
