Vancouver: Marpole: Oak Street at 70 Avenue, north approach to Oak Street Bridge, looking south to the bridge

About location

Built around a port on Burrard Inlet, Vancouver grew into a major Canadian Pacific metropolis. Oak Street at West 70th Avenue lies in South Vancouver, a largely residential district that leads south toward the Oak Street Bridge and Richmond. This broad arterial is part of the city’s north–south street grid, lined here by apartment buildings, mature trees and local services rather than downtown’s high-rise core. Vancouver occupies the Burrard Peninsula between Burrard Inlet and the Fraser River, with the Coast Mountains framing the wider region. Stanley Park, a 405-hectare public park at the peninsula’s northwestern tip, opened in 1888 and remains one of the city’s defining civic landmarks.

British Columbia
Region British Columbia

British Columbia has served as Canada’s Pacific frontier since joining Confederation in 1871. This vast western province extends from the Pacific coast across the Coast Mountains and interior plateaus to the Canadian Rockies; these coordinates lie in its sparsely settled northern interior. The Fraser, British Columbia’s longest river, drains a large part of the province before reaching the Strait of Georgia. First Nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain integral to communities throughout the province. Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is the provincial capital, while Vancouver is its largest city and a major Pacific port. Forestry, mining, fisheries and outdoor travel all reflect a terrain where waterways and mountain corridors matter.

Country Canada

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
