Being here was a dream come true for me. Before changing my University major to Sociology, I had started my major in Anthropology. As many times as I had been to Vancouver in the past, I had never been here. So, I made it a priority to make it up to UBC to visit the museum on this trip. I was so...

Silver Star is the local ski hill, and it takes about 20 minutes to drive there. If you don’t have a car, you can stand in one of the pullouts at the start of Silver Star road and will have no problem hitching a ride to the top. The village at Silver Star is a quaint, little place with brightly ...

Going to a Canucks game while in Vancouver is necessary in my opinion. The hard thing about it is finding tickets! The price of tickets is outrageous in my opinion and they sell out very fast. The Canucks have sold out GM Place for 4 straight seasons I believe. But once your in, the experience is gr...

Fans of the X-Men movie trilogy will recognize this place as the school. Hatley Castle, built in 1908, is on the grounds of Royal Roads University and looks out onto the Pacific Ocean. After hanging around outside, we went in. For about $17 we got a guided tour, which was pretty interesting. How...

Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is one of the must-see attractions in Vancouver. I had never been to a Chinese Garden before. I really liked it there, because it was pretty relaxing to sit on a bench and enjoy the view. Fortunately, when I visited it, there were not many people around.

The Parliament Building is right downtown, looking over the inner harbour, so you can't miss it. It is gorgeous! We were right in time for the free guided tour, which was a surprise to us, because we didn't know they were doing it. It turns out that not only were we on spring break, but so were th...

Probably best known for its cobbled streets and the steam clock, this is a great place to visit. Gastown, originally named ‘Granville’ was established the same year that Canada became a nation (1867). 19 years later, in 1886, Gastown was incorporated into Vancouver. Despite a rough patch duri...

Found on the way up to Silver Star Mountain, BX Falls is hiking trails and waterfalls. The trail to the waterfall is not gruelling, although there is one section, leading down to the falls, that is a steep set of steps. In cooler weather, these can get very icy, and every once in a while a new sto...

With admission to Fort Rodd Hill also comes access to Fisgard Lighthouse. I love lighthouses, so this excited me to no end. Built in 1860, this is Canada's oldest west coast lighthouse, and it still works! Visitors are welcome to go into the lighthouse and view all the displays inside. I recomme...

English Bay is beautiful. I’d seen it before, but had never taken pictures of it. The only problem is, I didn’t have my camera with me when I went there. The day of my aunt’s departure to Brazil, I decided to go with her to the airport. One of my other aunts had agreed to drive her there, ...

Fort Rodd Hill is a coast artillery for built in the late 1890's to defend Victoria and the Esquimalt Naval Base. It was a really great place to see. Everything here is accessible to the public, so if you're interested in going into all the different buildings and rooms and seeing all the weaponry,...

Going to the PNE on opening day is something I will never do again. I knew that I was going to go sometime on my vacation, however I didn’t know when that was going to be. It turns out that two of my aunts wanted to go, too. So, we all decided that we would go together. The one hitch was that ...

Located on Okanagan Lake, this is my favourite beach. It’s located in a provincial campsite, so you have to pay for parking, but it is a lovely beach. There is a trail you have to walk down from the parking lot to the beaches, but it is surrounded by trees, so it’s not too hot. When getting t...
