Why you'd want to live in West Vancouver

The District of West Vancouver is a municipality of Metro Vancouver that lies on the northern shore of English Bay. Since separating from North Vancouver in 1912, this unique community has developed its character and become one of the main ports connecting mainland British Columbia with Vancouver Island. In 2010, West Vancouver hosted the Winter Olympics at its Cypress Provincial Park. Moderately populated, “West Van” — as it’s known to locals — is a distinct combination of urban and rural. Its scenic locale and charming identity make the city a great place to live for outdoor enthusiasts that want to remain close to the heartbeat of a metropolitan area. via bur-han.c
