Conventions And Gift Programs In Vancouver Canada
When planning a Vancouver Gift program there are several things one can consider.
One should first consider the Natural Beauty and location of this fine Canadian city. Vancouver is situated on the West Coast of Canada, surrounded by the Coast Mountains, Burrard Inlet, English Bay & Georgia Straight and further East by the Fraser Valley. It’s geography includes green forested areas and natural waterways and rivers surrounding the city.
Some of the most popular products for this area include house hold gifts in pine beetle wood, red cedar and driftwood. Symbolic Vancouver gifts which exemplify the beauty of the city are excellent choices. There have been a few rare Bantboxes carved by First Nations art, caputuring the natural beauty and growth of the area in a very precious old growth material.
Another important factor when planning your Vancouver gift program is the history and the people of the city.
Historically, the Canadian Pacific Railway played a big role in the development of the city. An exclusive area was developed above Vancouver in Shaughnassey Heights, home to managers and owners of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Still popular today, it is an area of lush wide boulevards and heritage estates.
On joining Confederation in 1871, British Columbia agreed to facilitate the link from East to West, and the Canadian Pacific Railway was that tool The Canadian Pacific Railway’s need for labour brought a large immigrant population to work in the city from China. Guest workers from China arrived in the thousands in Vancouver by boat. The pay for a hard days work was $1.00 per day . China Town today is a vibrant area minutes from the city centre. It is the second largest Chinese area in North America, second to San Francisco’s China Town.
Original First Nations peoples also played a key role in the formation of the area. They included several clans of peoples living in the South West Coastal and Squamish area. The Coast Salish peoples differed considerably from those of their northern neighbours. One of the key differences were the Coast Salish’s matrilineal culture. They are also one of the few peoples on the coast whose traditional territories coincide with contemporary major metropolitan areas, including Victoria & Vancouver.
Although the Queen Charlotte Islands, and Haida Gwaii are home to the Haida Nation People, the Haida were also famous for their long-distance raiding and slaving, reaching as far as Mexico. They would be considered in the historical development on the area, especially before confederation.
Because of the diversity of people and cultures historically and in today’s city, when planning your Vancouver Gift program it is important to consider a symbolic First Nations art piece or a gift which references the Chinese cultural heritage.
. You can’t go wrong.
