Gastown Business Improvment Society

Downtown is Vancouver's primary business district, houses many arts, entertainment, and sports venues, and is close to several vibrant residential communities. A peninsula, Downtown is bounded by Burrard Inlet on the north, False Creek and the popular district of Yaletown to the south. The West End neighbourhood and world-famous Stanley Park are to the west, and the popular historic districts of Gastown, Chinatown, and Strathcona are to the east.

Yaletown is a stylish, historical district of Vancouver BC. Yaletown combines a sophisticated, cosmopolitan atmosphere with the  friendly demeanor found at boutique shops and local restaurants.

Mount Pleasant is a vibrant and eclectic area known for its unusual stores, heritage buildings, artistic residents, and arts-focused festivals. The area is popular with first-time homebuyers, urban professionals, and families. Mount Pleasant runs from False Creek southeast and up the slope toward the busy Mount Pleasant shopping district, where Broadway, Kingsway, and Main Street meet.

In Vancouver, Hastings Street runs from Downtown to Burnaby, right through the Hastings area, which includes the historic neighbourhoods of Chinatown, Strathcona, Gastown, and Downtown Eastside, and other residential areas. The businesses here are supported by the Gastown,Strathcona, Chinatown, and Hastings Crossing business-improvement associations. The Hastings area starts at Vancouver's harbour, in Burrard Inlet, and extends south to encompass the magnificent Pacific Central heritage train station and part of the Skytrain system.
