Vancouver Location

Vancouver Location

Vancouver is idyllically bordered by the lush green Coastal Mountain Range on one side and the timeless Pacific Ocean on the other. Renowned as one of the world’s most liveable cities, residents enjoy a healthy balance of commerce, culture, and outdoor activities. Canada’s third largest city boasts breath-taking natural scenery that is easily accessible within minutes of the cosmopolitan downtown core.

Named after Captain George Vancouver who explored the inner harbour of Burrard Inlet in 1792, Vancouver was officially incorporated on April 6, 1886.  Today, Vancouver’s high quality of living and sustainability has attracted a diverse mixture of cultures from around the world.

Endless places to enjoy your book

Vancouverites love to read and the city is the perfect place to do it. You can read while sipping a cappuccino on the patio of one of the city’s many atmospheric coffee shops; or stretched out on a bench by the beach in front of the million of twinkles on the water by the setting sun; or hundreds of other serene and quiet places to get lost in your book.

Galiano Island Books has over 25,000 titles of all genres including fiction books, non-fiction books, guide books, science books, kids’ books, Canadian literature and more. But what makes us unique is that we share and understand your love of reading. Our friendly staff at Galiano Island Books is all always reading and eager to help you find the perfect book you are looking for.
