North Vancouver consists of the City of North Vancouver and the District of North Vancouver. Many inhabitants of other cities rarely differ the District from the City, calling both of them simply as North Vancouver. At the same time the City and the District are separate objects, each has its own mayor’s office, city council and management departments, but they also share a few common services like the North Vancouver School District, the North Vancouver Recreation Commission and the North Vancouver detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police The City of North Vancouver is separated from Vancouver city by Burrard Inlet.

Three other sides of the city is surrounded by North Vancouver. The District of North Vancouver is bigger in size than the City of North Vancouver. It borders on the Capilano River in the west, Indian Arm in the east, Burrard Inlet Bridge in the south and the North Shore Mountains in the north. North Vancouver is one of the oldest settlements, it was founded earlier than Vancouver city but later than the city of New Westminster. In 1860 a sawmill was founded here by Sewell Moody, then post offices, schools were also established here and the village began to grow. The city is connected with Vancouver by two bridges: the Lions Gate Bridge and the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing, as well as passenger ferry called SeaBus.

The main street in the City of North Vancouver is Lonsdale Avenue that starts from Lonsdale Quay street, goes to the north up to 29th Street, continues its way in the District of North Vancouver and ends up with Rockland Road street. Highway 1 crosses the whole northern part of the City and the freeway goes inside the city. One of the most famous pendant bridges, the Capilano Suspension Bridge, is also located in North Vancouver. North Vancouver is the part of the city on the other side of Burrard Bay. It gives an excellent opportunity to see the wonderful nature of British Columbia in less than 30 minutes away from the downtown. All you need is to take a seabus going from Stanley Park, the Lions Gate Bridge or Canada Place – the places of cruise liners mooring – and arrive to the Lonsdale St. terminal in North Vancouver.

You can go to the Capilano Suspension Bridge from Londsale taking a bus #236. The Capilano Suspension Bridge gives the opportunity to walk through virgin evergreen forests and travel around the system of bridges and sheds (reaching 30 m in height in some places), look at gigantic Douglas fir trees saved in these places. After this you can take the same bus #236 and reach the Grouse Mountain in 5 minutes, riding up to the peak on a ropeway. It is an excellent place for walking, it opens the wonderful view on the whole Vancouver and the coast. There are a lot of places to take rest and dinner.
