Vancouver, situated in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia, is a prominent city in western Canada. As the most populous city in the province, it recorded a population of 662,248 people in the 2021 Canadian census, an increase from 631,486 in 2016. The Greater Vancouver area, comprising the city and its surrounding regions, reached a population of 2.6 million in 2021, making it the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada. Along with the Fraser Valley, it forms the Lower Mainland, with a regional population exceeding 3 million. Vancouver boasts the highest population density in Canada, with over 5,700 people per square kilometer, and it ranks fourth in North America (after New York City, San Francisco, and Mexico City).

Known for its remarkable ethnic and linguistic diversity, Vancouver stands as one of Canada’s most multicultural cities. Approximately 49.3% of its residents are non-native English speakers, while 47.8% are neither native English nor French speakers. Moreover, 54.5% of the population belongs to visible minority groups. The city has consistently received high rankings as one of the most livable cities in Canada and the world. However, Vancouver is also recognized for its housing affordability challenges, as it ranks among the most expensive cities in both Canada and the world. Additionally, Vancouver aims to become the world’s greenest city, adhering to the principles of urban planning design known as “Vancouverism.”

The Port of Vancouver, as of 2016, stands as the fourth-largest port by tonnage in the Americas, the largest and busiest in Canada, and the most diversified port in North America. While forestry remains the primary industry, Vancouver is renowned as an urban center surrounded by natural beauty, with tourism being its second-largest industry. The presence of major film production studios in Vancouver and neighboring Burnaby has turned the region into one of the largest film production centers in North America, earning it the nickname “Hollywood North.”

In terms of climate, Vancouver enjoys relatively mild winters compared to other Canadian cities. Its climate is classified as oceanic or marine west coast according to the Köppen climate classification, with a hint of a warm-summer Mediterranean climate. While inland temperatures are significantly higher during the summer, Vancouver experiences the coolest average high temperatures among major Canadian metropolitan areas. The summer months tend to be dry, with only about one in five days in July and August receiving precipitation. Conversely, precipitation is more prevalent from November through March.

Vancouver is known for its abundant rainfall, although precipitation levels vary across the metropolitan area. Vancouver International Airport in Richmond records an average annual precipitation of 1,189 mm (46.8 in), while the downtown area receives around 1,588 mm (62.5 in), and North Vancouver experiences approximately 2,044 mm (80.5 in). In July and August, the daily maximum temperatures average around 22 °C (72 °F), with rare occurrences of temperatures exceeding 30 °C (86 °F).

Due to its strategic location on the Pacific Rim and as the western terminus of Canada’s transcontinental highway and rail routes, Vancouver serves as one of the nation’s largest industrial centers. Port Metro Vancouver, the largest and most diverse port in Canada, facilitates over $172 billion in trade with more than 160 economies annually. The port activities contribute $9.7 billion to the gross domestic product and generate $20.3 billion in economic output. Additionally, Vancouver is home to headquarters of forest product and mining companies. In recent years, the city has emerged as a hub for software development, biotechnology, aerospace, video game development, animation studios, television production, and the film industry. Approximately 65 movies and 55 TV series are produced in Vancouver each year, solidifying its position as the third-largest film and TV production center in North America, supporting 20,000 jobs. Vancouver’s focus on lifestyle and health culture has also attracted many lifestyle brands, with notable companies like Lululemon, Arc’teryx, Kit and Ace, Mountain Equipment Co-op, Herschel Supply Co., Aritzia, Reigning Champ, and Nature’s Path Foods being founded and headquartered in the city. Vancouver is also the birthplace of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? and Western Canada’s largest online-only publication, Daily Hive.
