The old fashioned character and friendly service gives travelers a home away from home.” – The Sylvia Hotel
Helicopter – Widgeon Mountain Range
“Saying “I do” on the top of a mountain – it doesn’t get much more romantic than that! So it’s no wonder that our Helicopter Elopement & Photography Package is one of our most popular. Not everyone can say they got married on a snowcapped mountaintop with a beautiful landscape behind them. It truly is a once in a lifetime experience!” – Helicopter Elopement FAQs
Lighthouse Park

The extensive system of trails within the park provides an excellent opportunity for hiking and horseback riding. Alouette Lake is a popular spot for swimming, windsurfing, water-skiing, canoeing, boating and fishing. The park also has three large campgrounds. Vegetation is typical of the coastal western Hemlock forest of B.C. and the mountainous backcountry is extremely rugged.” – BC Parks

The discerning traveler will fall in love with fabrics and bright, vibrant colours and expression of personality throughout.” – Opus Hotel
Granville Island
“The Island is a jewel in the Canadian government’s development crown but it’s just as treasured by locals and tourists for its unique offerings. Granville Island, itself a piece of art and a destination for more than 10 million people who visit the Island annually, provides a rare example of government as an urban redevelopment standard-setter, creative marketer, and manager in one complete package.” – Granville Island
