Why I want to go to Vancouver

November 29, 2007

Vancouver’s streetcar system began on 28 June 1890 and ran from the (first) Granville Street Bridge to Westminster Avenue (now Main Street). Less than a year later, the Westminster and Vancouver Tramway Company began operating Canada’s first interurban line between the two cities, which encouraged residential neighbourhoods outside the central core to develop.
Vancouver is served by School District 39 Vancouver, the second largest school district in British Columbia.As in other parts of the province, numerous independent schools are also eligible for partial provincial funding.
Vancouver has also greats schools and is one of the cultural and educationals point of the world.

    1890 was a long time ago! I wouldn’t have thought Vancouver had a streetcar system so long ago. Thanks for telling me about it. I’ll have to see what else I can learn about Vancouver’s transportation system.
