Granville Island
Arty isle: Vancouver's Granville Island, seen in the foreground, is home to food markets, craft brewers, theatres and art galleries.
In the early 1900s, Granville Island
was home to factories, plants and sawmills. At one time, its official name was
actually Industrial Island. Things are a little different today, Granville
Island is both a locals’ favorite and a huge draw for visitors. It is centred
around the Granville Island Public Market, a bevy of merchants selling seafood,
fresh produce, cheese and breads. The island’s offerings are much more diverse
than just one of North America’s best markets, with theatre, culture,
restaurants and unique attractions drawing millions of people each year.
