Is it true that if I live in Vancouver, I can get to beautiful hiking trails within 30 minutes of the city? What are your favorite nature spots outside the city? And within Vancouver, which neighborhoods are fairly affordable, where artists and interesting people live?

It is true! Lynn Canyon, Squamish, Harrison Lake, and the Gulf Islands are all beautiful, but there are so many more. You can go from downtown to the ski hill in 30 minutes in winter, too.
Neighbourhoods in Vancouver are not affordable, full stop. But some areas where artists and interesting people live include Hastings Sunrise, Commercial Drive, Cedar Cottage, Main Street/Mount Pleasant, and Gastown.

Oh, thank you for replying to my post. I will research all these spots! Is it possible to apply for a work permit (Italian/American citizen, here👋🏻) or do foreigners have to get sponsored by a company? I am a copywriter and work for clients and ad agencies.

Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
