Vancam.ca went live in December 2008. Currently over 5000 visitors from around the world enjoy the changing view each month.

The camera resides in the fairview slopes neighbourhood and points north towards downtown Vancouver. Granville Island is just beyond the buildings in foreground and the Granville Street bridge is visible to the left. Yaletown condos are center in the picture on the north side of False Creek with the office towers of downtown in the background. The North Shore Mountains complete the view with Grouse Mountain smack in the middle of the pic.

This site was created for a few reasons. Firstly, as a creature in the cubical jungle I have learned to appreciate webcam sites that provide a view of the great outdoors.

Secondly, Vancouver hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in February and March 2010. Only a lucky few could actually be in Vancouver during the games; vancam.ca web cam showed the Olympic city to the rest with over 15,000 visitors in February 2010. Stoke!

Finally, Vancouver truly is a beauty of a city. Whether you have moved away and are watching the city change or are planning a trip to the west coast, the view is always changing and is always awesome.

Plus, we can't help brag to friends and family trapped back in the East. Suckas!

Enjoy.
