One of Canada's top universities |
8888 University Drive Vancouver, BC V5A 1S6 Canada +1 778 782 3111 / +1 778 782 5000 / +1 778 782 7500 http://www.sfu.ca |
This university is a mid-size campus with 17,000 students and 100 programs. It has three campuses: in the city of Surrey, downtown's Harbour Centre, and the main one, nestled on top of Burnaby Mountain. Designed in the 1960s by renowned local architect Arthur Erickson, it is well worth a visit. As a comprehensive university, it offers programs in the liberal and fine arts, sciences, applied sciences, business, and education. SFU holds day and evening classes, and allows students to take time off between studies to work in one of the university's co-operative education jobs. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Massive urban park |
West end of Georgia Street Vancouver, BC V6G 3E2 Canada +1 604 257 8400 (Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation) http://www.city.vancouver.bc.c... |
Attractions abound in this massive downtown park, a veritable rainforest within a metropolis. To name just a few of the activities and attractions: the Children's Farmyard, Miniature Railway, tennis courts, beaches, children's water park, heated ocean side swimming pool, the Theatre Under the Stars, the Vancouver Aquarium and the 10.5-km perimeter Seawall, which is packed with joggers, walkers and rollerbladers. Once a military reserve, the park became one of the city's premier attractions by action of the city's first council. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Professional ice hockey |
800 Griffiths Way Vancouver, BC V6B 6G1 Canada +1 604 899 7400 http://www.canucks.com/ |
The Vancouver Canucks began to play in the National Hockey League in 1970. Since then, they have played an entertaining and tough brand of hockey. The team has played for the Stanley Cup twice so far. They play from October through May, and if their talent and fortunes on the ice are good, right through June as well. Review © 2007, Wcities |
