Dear Visitor,

Welcome to Vancouver. You are coming to one of the greatest cities in the world: eye-popping scenery, efficient services, moderate climate, relaxed and diverse population.

The United Nations survey on livability rates Vancouver in the top handful of cities on earth. And in 2010, we�re going to host the winter Olympics! What a great opportunity to enjoy Vancouver�s attractions � including all the Olympic legacies, like new stadiums, highways and tourist sights.

But one legacy that won�t be so enjoyable is the thousands of homeless people on the streets of Vancouver. You can�t help seeing them as you walk around downtown, and in many other neighbourhoods around the city. 14 pixel transparent gif
