About Vancouver
Vancouver is the largest city in British Columbia and Canada's main Pacific port, handling much of the country's trade with Asia. Surrounded by mountains and water, it is known for outdoor life, Stanley Park and a large film and television industry that has earned it the nickname Hollywood North.
British Columbia's coast follows Pacific Time: PST at UTC-8 in winter and PDT at UTC-7 in summer, when clocks go forward. Vancouver shares its time with Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles, which makes West Coast collaboration simple. It is three hours behind Toronto and Montreal, so morning calls with eastern Canada need an early start.
