Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We truly love and cherish the natural beauty of our place on the planet. Walk the famous Seawall which circles the entire downtown, weaving through a variety of areas like Stanley Park, English Bay, Granville Island, Coal Harbour (you really don\u2019t need a car to get around downtown). Some of the world\u2019s best skiing is only a short distance in Whistler<\/a>. And some of the most picturesque islands share the landscape of The Georgia Straight (great sailing!) There are so many distinctive neighbourhoods in Vancouver, all offering a wide array of food from all over the world. This is a world class city for foodies!<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Question:\u00a0What\u2019s one thing the public probably does NOT know about\u00a0Vancouver?<\/h3>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our city has a large and truly fantastic city park named after our country\u2019s sixth Governor General, Lord Frederick Stanley \u2013 Stanley Park. The very same person that the NHL\u2019s championship trophy is named after \u2013 The Stanley Cup! We suspect that the trophy is now more famous than the park or the man ever was or will be.<\/p>\n

* The Governor General is the Queen\u2019s representative in Canada.<\/p>\n

3. Share some aspect of what\u00a0Vancouver has contributed to the world.<\/h3>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vancouver earned the nickname of HOLLYWOOD NORTH in the 1980s as American productions began to flourish (21 Jump Street, MacGiver, X-Files) but Hollywood North has flourished far beyond what many can even fathom as movies and television shows continue to be produced here that the list is so numerous that it is hard to believe. 273 TV shows so far without even mentioning the movie productions (Super Natural, Once Upon A Time, Fringe, etc).<\/p>\n
