Healthy Livng

Wholesome Vancouver
The healthy living city 

Upon landing in Vancouver I hopped onto the SkyTrain and was at the Waterfront within minutes. I was just in time for a relaxing brunch at a café famous for its artistically designed cream toppings on their cappuccinos.

The Bayshore where I stayed right by Coal Harbour boast of an excellent view of Stanley Park. Recreation in the heart of the city is just minutes away from the downtown business district. The vibrancy and energy of business and investment that taps into the Asia Pacific economies of North America and Asia can be felt in the confidence shown at negotiations for import of goods through the third busiest port in North America and the property investments that continue to drive the real estate market.

Vancouver is where the money earned is converted into healthy living with tastefully built homes within a planned community of workspaces and recreational areas. This can be seen at Kitsilano, which is home to students and trend setting families who contribute to the Vancouver tag line of being Hollywood of the North. It is also the birthplace for an environmental movement that has impacted the world in a healthy way. The wholesome eating places, yoga studios, sports areas and the beautiful beach ideal for a day out, all make this neighborhood an ideal recreational home away from home.

But Vancouver also offers us spectacular mountainside living with Grouse Mountain offering easy access with a cable car up for a view to feast on. The temperate rain forest offers a bio-diversity of animals and plants that remind us just how fortunate this city is to be protected by the majestic Rocky mountains that shielded this region from the impact of the last ice age.

The cultural diversity of Vancouver is reflected in the modern architecture of buildings that incorporate abstract art, Asian traditions and environmental sustainability features such as energy efficiency and ecological harmony. These modern building concepts can be found downtown by Canada Place and in areas such as Richmond close to the airport.

Vancouver is proof that modern living can harness the spirit of global business enterprise and use it to create a healthy and wealthy living space in harmony with nature in an urban environment. It is a project far from completion and will require even more skilled individuals and investments. All indications suggest that Vancouver is not just a gateway to North America but is also a gateway to a prosperous global economy offering health and wealth to the enterprising.
