Vancouver


Vancouver was my last stop on this road trip. The longitude and latitudes are 123° 8' 0" W and 49° 15' 0"N. The population for Vancouver was more then I had expected, with the number of 738,000 according to the 2004 census. And the population density is 999,000p/km. Vancouver's land form is mountains. Vancouver is known for their skiing. And they have the perfect landform for it!! The climate in Vancouver is cold, not all year, in the summer it gets worm - mild, but compared to most canadian cities in the southern hemisphere, it is cool. Dry winters, dry spring & fall as well. Vancouver is part of the Pacific Maritime Eco-Zone. Obviously located on the Pacific Shore line.  There are numerous amounts of National Parks in Vancouver. One of many is the Pacific Rim National Reserve. Industries Include Fishing, Hunting, Mining , Automobile, Graphic Arts, & entertainment. Vancouver is the capital of British Columbia. I saw the most tourists in Vancouver more then any other cities or towns I have been to, mostly there to see where the 2010 Olympic Games were held. Also there for the carnivals, and different festivities. I loved Vancouver and hopefully will visit again.
