Architectural & Structural Explorations

St. John the Divine Church, Yale
Vancouver itself is a contrast of heritage and modern architecture. Buildings veer from the restored heritage ones of historic Gastown, Vancouver's oldest neighbourhood, to the organic, West Coast modern landmarks of world-renowned architect, Arthur Erickson. Outside the city, sites not to be missed include: the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and Britannia Shipyard; Fort Langley National Historic Site; XÁ:YTEM Longhouse Interpretive Centre; Burnaby Village; Britannia Mining Museum; and the Othello Tunnels. Be sure take Grouse Mountain's Skyride up to stunning panoramic views of Vancouver and the North Shore as well as the Hell's Gate Airtram over roaring rapids. Don't miss the thrills and chills experienced crossing the Lynn Canyon and Capilano Suspension Bridges.
