La Ville interdit désormais aux constructeurs de faire l'impasse sur l'étage numéro 13 et sur ceux contenant le chiffre 4, peu vendeur pour les promoteurs locaux, car il sonne, dans plusieurs dialectes chinois, comme le mot « mort ». Le but est de faciliter le travail des pompiers en intervention, qui peinent parfois à localiser le bon étage.
Hikes Near Vancouver
Garibaldi Lake(01 of60)
One of the most spectacular lakes in southwestern British Columbia, the turquoise coloured lake features a scenic glacier backdrop. The nine kilometre uphill hike is long and gruelling at times, but the reward makes the effort worthwhile. The best time to hike this trail is mid to late July when you can go through Taylor Meadows to see the colourful wildflowers in bloom before looping down to the lake. — Vancouver Trails (credit:vancouvertrails.com)

Panorama Ridge(07 of60)
At a distance of 30 kilometres, this makes for a long day hike but a great opportunity to camp at Garibaldi Lake or Taylor Meadows and hike up to Panorama Ridge the next day. The view overlooks Garibaldi Lake below and offers a 360-degree panoramic view, including Black Tusk and the Helm Lake area. You truly feel as though you are on top of the world with this hike. — Vancouver Trails (credit:vancouvertrails.com)

Black Tusk(13 of60)
The hike to Black Tusk is a long day hike and it too is best experienced by camping at either Garibaldi Lake or the Taylor Meadow campgrounds. The unique volcanic rock is constantly crumbling from its dome and makes the hike even more challenging. The views of Garibaldi Provincial Park on your way up are spectacular but hikers should use extreme caution and have appropriate equipment if attempting to climb the final chute onto the summit. — Vancouver Trails (credit:vancouvertrails.com)

Joffre Lakes(19 of60)
The three lakes are situated in the mountain ranges between the towns of Pemberton and Lillooet. Don’t let the 500 meter walk to Lower Joffre Lake deceive you; the trail to Middle and Upper Joffre Lakes can be steep at times, including passing through a boulder field. The views of the glacier at the Upper Lake are stunning amongst the turquoise coloured water from the lake. — Vancouver Trails (credit:vancouvertrails.com)

High Note Trail(25 of60)
The High Note Trail wraps around the backside of Whistler's ski resort, high above Cheakamus Lake, offering scenic views that include the turquoise lake and mountain ranges well into Garibaldi Provincial Park. This hike differs from others in that you have to take the Whistler Gondola and chairlift to the top before starting the trail, effectively taking away all the hard work of having to hike up a mountain. After passing the Cheakamus Lake side, the trail returns via Symphony Bowl, back to the chalet where you can enjoy a cold drink and dinner. — Vancouver Trails (credit:vancouvertrails.com)

Mount Cheam(31 of60)
Mount Cheam is one of the highest mountains in the Fraser Valley, offering a near 360-degree view from the top of the Fraser Valley north towards Harrison Lake and south into Washington State. The challenge with this hike, though, is getting to the trailhead; you will need a very sturdy four-by-four vehicle to navigate the rugged, deactivated logging road. The entire hike itself is scenic, passing through meadows of wildflowers in late July. — Vancouver Trails (credit:vancouvertrails.com)

Elfin Lakes(37 of60)
Located in Garibaldi Provincial Park and accessed from the Squamish area, the hike to Elfin Lakes is beautiful and less difficult than some of the other trails in the park. Hiking along the ridge offers views of the surrounding mountains before reaching the two lakes next to the shelter. This is a great hiking and camping option as overnighters will be able to hike to other areas, such as Opal Cone, the next day. — Vancouver Trails (credit:vancouvertrails.com)

Stawamus Chief(43 of60)
The Chief is Squamish’s most recognizable mountain, and all three peaks offer incredible views of the Howe Sound area. All peaks are hikable within a day, but it’s most common to visit the first peak. Although the trail has become fairly busy recently, it’s still a great must-do hike in the region for its incredible views. — Vancouver Trails (credit:vancouvertrails.com)

Lions Binkert Trail(49 of60)
The iconic peaks visible from downtown Vancouver offer an incredible views of Howe Sound and the Capilano watershed. Starting from the small town of Lions Bay along the Sea To Sky Highway, this grueling hike is long and has several steep sections, requiring a high level of physical fitness. But with the challenge comes great reward. — Vancouver Trails (credit:vancouvertrails.com)

Brandywine Meadows(55 of60)
Late July or early August is a great time to visit Brandywine Meadows to see all of the wildflowers in bloom. The quiet streams that pass through the meadows and the surrounding mountains make this destination one of the most picturesque and relaxing. The trail itself is very steep and often muddy, though, and the deactivated logging road can often be a rough drive from the Sea To Sky Highway. — Vancouver Trails (credit:vancouvertrails.com)
