In the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, you’ll be greeted with a thriving craft beer scene, with local gastropubs and breweries pouring the region’s finest IPAs. Relax in the city in one of Vancouver’s many tranquil parks, with the majestic Stanley Park home to walking trails and greenery that make it perfect for picnics. It’s also where the famous 1,000-year-old Hollow Tree resides.

Nature lovers and skiers will appreciate Vancouver’s proximity to the rugged North Shore Mountains. This range is ideal for hikes and winter sports, featuring some of Canada’s most famous world class ski slopes.
