We encourage all delegates and their guests to explore the city of Vancouver and beyond either prior to August 17 or after August 21.
The summer is a very popular time for tourists in the city. The weather is at its best. Many cruise ships depart from the Vancouver port for Alaska.
Vancouver offers a multitude of activities, ranging from golf, sailing, skiing, swimming, hiking and many other activities. From Vancouver, one can visit Whistler Ski Resort (with many summer outdoor activities), Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, the BC Okanagan – famed for its vineyards and many other locations. Why not drive or take a bus or train from Vancouver to Calgary and experience the Canadian Rockies, including Banff and Lake Louise.
The following Tourism Bureaus have plenty of visitor information on their websites:
