Vancouver is a beautiful coastal city with a population of about 600,000 (2 million in the metropolitan area). Other Canadians like to joke about how much it rains in Vancouver (it rains a lot in Vancouver), but the truth is we're just jealous that Vancouver has a more temperate climate than the rest of Canada :p.
Q: What do you call two straight days of rain in Vancouver?
A: A weekend.
Q: What does Daylight Saving Time mean in Vancouver?
A: An extra hour of rain.
Vancouver is a liberal city with a thriving arts scene. It's also a very multicultural city - 51% of Vancouverites belong to a visible minority group, and 52% of Vancouverites speak a first language other than English!
But Vancouver is not perfect, and the city has significant problems with homelessness, gangs, and drug use. In the years leading up to the Olympics, Vancouver officials worried about how these social problems would affect visitors' perceptions of the city.
