Granville Island – Voted the best neighbourhood in North America http://www.pps.org/info/newsletter/november2004/november2004_Granville
Granville Island gives you the chance to splurge on an exceptional work by local artisan, pick-up something sumptuous in the busy public market, rent a kayak for a waterfront tour, or shop for someone small at The Kids Only Market. Local theatre, a wide variety of restaurants, a community centre that welcomes drop-ins and access to the seawall complete the experience.

Immerse yourself and Exhale:
The view from the Great Hall alone makes a visit to the Museum of Anthropology at UBC worth an afternoons visit. Spend time wandering through the museum, exploring the indigenous cultures of British Columbia. Step outside to the Haida House and spend a moment on your own, on a cliff high above the ocean, surrounded by objects of rugged beauty and deep cultural meaning.
