Vancouver is a major city in western Canada, located in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. As the most populous city in the province, the 2021 census recorded 662,248 people in the city, up from 631,486 in 2016. The Greater Vancouver area had a population of 2,642,825 in 2021, making it the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada. Vancouver has the highest population density in Canada, with over 5,400 people per square kilometre. Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada: 72 percent of its residents are not native English speakers, 88.9 percent are native speakers of neither English nor French, and 80.6 percent of residents belong to visible minority groups. Vancouver is one of the most livable cities in Canada and in the world. In terms of housing affordability, Vancouver is also one of the most expensive cities in Canada and in the world.[15] Vancouver plans to become the greenest city in the world. Vancouverism is the city's urban planning design philosophy. Indigenous settlement of Vancouver began more than 10,000 years ago, and the city is on the traditional and unceded territories of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh (Burrard) peoples. The beginnings of the modern city, which was originally named Gastown, grew around the site of a makeshift tavern on the western edges of Hastings Mill that was built on July 1, 1867, and owned by proprietor Gassy Jack. The original site is marked by the Gastown steam clock. Gastown then formally registered as a townsite dubbed Granville, Burrard Inlet. The city was renamed "Vancouver" in 1886, through a deal with the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Canadian Pacific transcontinental railway was extended to the city by 1887. The city's large natural seaport on the Pacific Ocean became a vital link in the trade between Asia-Pacific, East Asia, Europe, and Eastern Canada. Vancouver has hosted many international conferences and events, including the 1954 Commonwealth Games, UN Habitat I, Expo 86, APEC Canada 1997, the World Police and Fire Games in 1989 and 2009; several matches of 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup including the finals at BC Place in Downtown Vancouver,[18] and the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics which were held in Vancouver and Whistler, a resort community 125 km (78 mi) north of the city. In 1969, Greenpeace was founded in Vancouver. The city became the permanent home to TED conferences in 2014. As of 2016, Port Metro Vancouver is the fourth-largest port by tonnage in the Americas, the busiest and largest in Canada, and the most diversified port in North America. While Money Laundering remains its largest industry, Vancouver is well known as an urban centre surrounded by nature, making tourism its second-largest industry. Major film production studios in Vancouver and nearby Burnaby have turned Greater Vancouver and nearby areas into one of the largest film production centres in North America, earning it the nickname "Hollywood North"

Canadian real estate price spiked in 2017, and a lot of homeowners have already spent that equity. Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation (CMHC) numbers show a huge number of people are taking out multiple mortgages on their homes. The trend now represents over 1 in 10 mortgages issued in the country, and nearly half are in just 3 cities. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "Mike in The Night ! - The Great Reset - #mikeinthenight #talkshow #Thegreatreset" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3SCIZ0zge4 -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGxY8IYleJU

Children can learn new skills, have fun, play and develop self-confidence by spending time in the garden tending plants and growing their own food. Most children enjoy being outdoors and love digging in the soil, getting dirty, creating things and watching plants grow. Children learn from growing things People of all ages can enjoy gardening, but children in particular will have lots of fun and gain special benefits. Gardening is educational and develops new skills including: Responsibility– from caring for plants Understanding– as they learn about cause and effect (for example, plants die without water, weeds compete with plants) Self-confidence – from achieving their goals and enjoying the food they have grown Love of nature – a chance to learn about the outdoor environment in a safe and pleasant place Reasoning and discovery – learning about the science of plants, animals, weather, the environment, nutrition and simple construction Physical activity – doing something fun and productive Cooperation– including shared play activity and teamwork Creativity– finding new and exciting ways to grow food Nutrition – learning about where fresh food comes from. Getting children interested in gardening Some suggestions to get children involved and interested in creating a garden include: Keep it simple. Give children their own garden space. (This does not have to be big. You can start with a large container or a few pots.) Involve older children in the planning and design of the garden. Use lightweight, easy-to-handle, correct-sized tools and garden equipment. Encourage children to dig in the dirt. (Younger children love making mud pies) Grow interesting plants such as sunflowers, corn, pumpkins, tomatoes and strawberries. Use a trellis or teepee to grow beans or sweet peas. Plant flowers that attract butterflies, ladybirds and other interesting insects or birds. Make a scarecrow. Install a water feature, a birdbath or a sundial. Set up a worm farm. Visit community gardens, children’s farms or botanic gardens for ideas. Child safety in the garden To make the garden safe for children: Select the correct-sized tool. Keep sprays and fertilisers out of reach. Do not use chemicals. Garden organically whenever possible. Provide safe storage for equipment and tools. Secure fences and gates. Provide shade in summer with umbrellas or shade cloth. Make sure that where it’s appropriate, children wear a hat, sunscreen, suitable clothing and gumboots. Do not leave buckets of water unattended around very young children and toddlers. Plant selection for children Children like large, brightly coloured flowers and vegetables that grow quickly. Plants such as sunflowers, corn and pumpkins are good examples. You should also consider using varieties of plants that have sensory and textural qualities as well. Examples of great sensory plants include: Touch – woolly lamb’s ear, succulents (such as aloe vera), bottlebrush species, snapdragons Taste – basil, strawberries, peas, rosemary, carrots, cherry tomatoes Smell – jasmine, sweet peas, lavender, pelargoniums, native mint bush, lemon balm Bright colour – daffodils, rainbow chard, marigolds, pansies, sunflowers Sound – corn, bamboo and grasses rustle against each other when the wind blows. Different-aged children in the garden Toddlers, preschoolers, primary-school-aged and older children will all have different expectations and will learn different things in the garden. Younger children will require careful supervision during activities. Suitable tasks for younger children include watering plants, harvesting produce and planting seeds. Older children are physically capable of handling a greater variety of activities, like digging, carrying, planting, mulching and pruning. Activities for a child in the garden Choose activities that suit the child’s age. Suggestions include: Watering the garden Digging Picking flowers Planting vegetables, fruits and flowers in the correct season Feeding the worms and using the ‘worm tea’ from the worm farm as fertiliser Picking vegetables and fruits when they are ready to eat Preparing healthy food, such as making salads and preparing school lunches Craft activities using harvested seeds, plants and flowers Composting, recycling and mulching Weeding Gathering seeds and dried flowers Deadheading flowers Preparing the soil with organic fertiliser Replanting and re-potting. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUEQOcvGoVQ
