What to do and see in Fairview, Canada: The Best Shopping

December 24, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

Granville Island Soap Gallery

Reviewed By eign44 - Toronto, Canada

During our two-month stay in Vancouver, we came to Cameron's shop multiple times. He was super warm and helpful, and gave us helpful travel tips. The shop has lots of unique, nature-based soaps, some made by Cameron in the store, some made by other soapmakers in BC and other Canadian provinces. His shop is a great place for souvenirs, and it's one of our favourites on Granville Island. We look forward to coming back on our next trip!

I have bought two beautiful prints made by Northwest Coast artists from the Douglas Reynolds Gallery. One I purchased directly from the gallery, and one I purchased online which then had to be shipped. In both instances, the gallery was very helpful and professional. My second print was shipped to the United States during Covid. The gallery was communicative during the process of matting, framing, crating and finally shipping. The print arrived in perfect condition, beautifully framed and more lovely than it had appeared online. Thank you so much Erica!
