Granville Island in Vancouver, BC is a popular Vancouver tourist attraction with a clean harbour, curious shops and a well developed public market. In 1979, the old warehouses of B.C. Equipment and Wright’s Ropes opened their doors to the public as a fresh produce market and the Granville Island Market Place was born. It is now a local and tourist destination to shop for fresh food produce and a diverse selection of multicultural cuisine from Russian to Greek to Canadian. It is filled with fresh vegetables, delicious golden baked bread, all kinds of seafood, brilliant array of flowers and a food court to sample food from the west and east.
