Vancouver’s North Shore Tourism Association

Vancouver’s North Shore is made up of a collection of neighbourhoods, each with its own personality and vibe. With our neighbourhoods so close to our wilderness you can dip in and out of outdoor recreation for cultural experiences, dining, and shopping. No day on the North Shore is ever the same as there is so much to do and see.
