Metro Vancouver, currently at 2.3 million people, is the largest city in western Canada. Beautiful and geographically squeezed between the mountains and the ocean, this is a young (c. 1886), diverse and multicultural city, frequently rated at or near the top of world cities for overall “quality of life”. Vancouver has already hosted a World’s Fair in 1986 and the Winter Olympics in 2010. LGBT life is equally thriving. The city welcomed the Gay Games in 1990 and same-sex marriage in 2005. Expect a vibrant, modern city with an Asian flavour, an open-minded outdoorsy lifestyle, decent nightlife and abundant access to nature.
