culture and history

continued

Vancouver is actually one of Canada's fairly new cities --128 years old. Even then, it barely survived its first year. A controlled fire was let loose by a gust of wind that destroyed 1,000 buildings in a little over 45 minutes.

The first people who were said to have inhabited the Vancouver region was the Coast Salish, a tribe that extended far throughout Canada.

Next came the Europeans. In 1792 a man named Captain George Vancouver explored the shores of the soon-to-be-city and brought about gold mining that finally made popular all Vancouver had to offer.

Vancouver's most well known pioneer was the legendary 'Gassy Jack' Deighton in 1867 who introduced the first saloon to downtown Vancouver (which was called Gastown). Around that time, Stanley Park was created in honor of the previous Governor General.

Clothing

British Columbia Map

Vancouver is unique in its style due to its international influences. Culture is diverse, as is clothing, but Vancouver fashion is quite like that of America. Of course, it's much colder there than it is in sunny Louisiana, but generally weather is mild enough to dress comfortably.
