Vancouver has the World's Longest Uninterrupted Waterfront Path, also known as the Vancouver Seawall. The Seawall starts at Canada Place, walks around Stanley Park, past English Bay, into False Creek and ends just after Kitsilano Beach. What do you think of the 28km walking and cycling path?

It’s a somewhat common misconception that Harbour Centre is the control tower. In fact, it’s actually the province building just west of waterfront station! Next time you’re near, look closely at the top of the building and you’ll spot the panoramic windows of the control room! :)

I've seen some beautiful views of extensive gorgeous houseboats along the Vancouver waterfront, I think they were extending further up the entire length of Vancouver, and they were more beautiful than the ones you showed here. That was at least 10 years ago.

I just thought it might be an idea to suppliment your you tube business, which is tour guiding with a camera in your hand. Once it is up and running you can hire and train guides to expand the business and you could be Vancouver's next entrepernuer, just a thought. Cheers from Down Under mate.
