The City of Vancouver is renowned for its innovative programs in the areas of sustainability, accessbility and inclusivity. In February 2009, Mayor Gregor Robertson launched the Greenest City Initiative with a goal to map out how to earn the title of becoming the greenest city by 2020. In February and March 2010, Vancouver hosted the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games with great enthusiasm. For Vancouver, the benefits of hosting the world will continue with memories to last a lifetime, but also leave Vancouver with Olympic-quality sports facilities, public transit, green buildings and arts and culture – legacies that residents and visitors alike will enjoy and appreciate for many years to come. Vancouver is a vibrant and dynamic city that offers something for everyone. The city is home to world class ski destinations, ocean sports, hiking, mountain biking, arts, theatre and galleries. Vancouver and the surrounding Lower Mainland is home to a diversity of people and cultures. Simon Fraser's Harbour Centre Campus is located on the waters edge of Vancouver's downtown area. This location allows for easy commuter access to a wide variety of locations for residence including Vancouver, Burnaby, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Coquitlam, Richmond and more.
