VANCOUVER

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 883 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VANCOUVER , a city and port in the province of British Columbia, Canada, on the southern side of Burrard Inlet. Pop. (1906) about 45,000. It is the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific railway. The harbour of Vancouver is one of the finest natural harbours in the world. The city is the largest in British Columbia, and is the
chief
  Canadian shipping port for japan, China, Australia and the islands at which the C.P.R. mail steamers
call
 . There are regular lines of steamers running between Vancouver and
Alaska
  and the points of connexion with the
Yukon
  territory, as well as lines to Puget Sound and San Francisco in the United States. The port also has regular and frequent communication by steamer with Victoria, and is the headquarters of an extensive
coasting
  trade. In 1886, soon after its
establishment
 , a fire swept the whole town out of existence, but the inferior wooden buildings at first erected have been largely replaced by stone and brick structures, giving a handsome
appearance
  to the principal streets. Vancouver has well-paved streets and is well supplied with water, electric lighting, electric cars and all the improvements of a modern city. Stanley Park, a large reserve of 900 acres, is one of the principal pleasure resorts. There is also fine sea-bathing at English Bay on the outskirts of the city. The " McGill University College of British Columbia " at Vancouver is one of the colleges of McGill University (Montreal). There are a sugar refinery and
cooperage
  works, as well as large sawmills, shingle factories and many other industrial concerns. A large wholesale trade is carried on with all the settlements of the province. Vancouver is the centre of the important timber industry of British Columbia.
