Vancouver's Community Information
University of British Columbia

At the westernmost point of the city on the banks of the Georgia Strait, the campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC, as it's known) sprawls over 400ha (990ac), much of it forest. There are several interesting attractions among the beautiful grounds, including the UBC Museum of Anthropology, which has art and artifacts from Asia, Africa and the Pacific, and what is widely regarded as the best totem pole collection in the world. Nearby are the Nitobe Memorial Gardens, which have been beautifully landscaped in traditional Japanese style, and Totem Park, with carvings and buildings from a Haida Indian village. The university's outstanding Botanical Gardens offer Asian, alpine and other theme gardens, a 16th-century apothecary garden and Canada's largest rhododendron collection.
