In the final episode of our Canada series, Jason is joined by Michael Brabin of Destination Vancouver and Tourism Whistler to explore why so many visitors come home from Vancouver and Whistler saying, “I could move there tomorrow.”

In Part 1, we dive into Vancouver as a true year-round city: mild winters, warmer summers, and a unique mix of ocean, mountains and rainforest that never feels like a typical concrete jungle. Michael shares his favourite British Columbia memory – a stunning float plane journey from Whistler to downtown Vancouver – and explains why Canucks ice hockey nights, Stanley Park, and compact, walkable neighbourhoods like Gastown, Chinatown, Yaletown and Coal Harbour make this city so special.

We also unpack who Vancouver and Whistler are perfect for:

• Families who could swap plastic theme parks for whales, bears and wild landscapes,
• Older travellers who are more adventurous than ever,
• Couples looking for active city breaks with incredible food, culture and nature in one trip.

You’ll hear about food tours, Michelin-accredited dining, street food, Granville Island’s public market, and why Easter and late spring/summer are secretly some of the best (and best value) times to visit Western Canada.

👉 In Part 2, we head deeper into Whistler in summer, hidden gems like Vallea Lumina, heart-pounding adventures from ziplining to skeleton on the Olympic track, local festivals, and how to build the perfect Vancouver–Whistler itinerary with expert help so you don’t waste a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
