 Vancouver & Burrard Inlet, Marlene Ford photo To the city's north, Burrard Inlet separates Vancouver from North Vancouver and West Vancouver.
On its western boundary is the Pacific Ocean's Strait of Georgia. And to the south, the Fraser River separates Vancouver from its smaller satellite communities.
The Coast Mountains - which rise more than 1,500 m (5,000 ft) - gloriously preside over the city.
Vancouver's population is approximately 560,000 in a region of over two million. A major port, Vancouver is the province's largest city as well as Canada's third largest.
