Vancouver

Vancouver

Vancouver is considered to have the smallest carbon footprint in all of North America, so it’s an ideal location for students studying or interested in the environment. It was also the host of the 2010 Olympics and houses the famous cauldron. For groups studying marine life, visit the Vancouver Aquarium or explore the shores of any of the three bodies of water surrounding the city. Art lovers are also in for a treat with the Vancouver Art Gallery at their fingertips. Students can expand their mind and find inspiration amongst some of the world famous art found within. Take your students to the metropolis born from a coal town and show them the true evolution of industry.
