Host City

On April 6, 1886, the rough-and-tumble west coast timber outpost of Granville was officially incorporated as the City of Vancouver. Two months later, an inferno sparked by a brush fire burned the new city to the ground in 30 minutes. The very next year, the first transcontinental train in the country chugged into the Vancouver terminus, launching a wave of development. The aboriginal population was fueled by immigration and the city grew over the next century from a logging and fishing town into the cosmopolitan world capital it is today.

The year 2011 marks Vancouver's 125th birthday. Surrounded by water on three sides and nestled alongside the Coast Mountain Range, Vancouver is the largest city in the province of British Columbia with over half a million residents and one of the mildest climates in Canada. Home to spectacular natural scenery and a bustling metropolitan core, Vancouver was host city to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Visitors, meeting attendees and locals alike can enjoy everything from city pursuits to outdoor thrills and more.
