Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

During our two-month stay in Vancouver, we came to Cameron's shop multiple times. He was super warm and helpful, and gave us helpful travel tips. The shop has lots of unique, nature-based soaps, some made by Cameron in the store, some made by other soapmakers in BC and other Canadian provinces. His shop is a great place for souvenirs, and it's one of our favourites on Granville Island. We look forward to coming back on our next trip!
