North Vancouver Overview

The City of North Vancouver is a waterfront municipality on the north shore of Burrard Inlet, directly across from Vancouver, British Columbia. The City of North Vancouver is separated from Vancouver by the Burrard Inlet, and it is surrounded on three sides by the District of North Vancouver. It is the smallest of the three North Shore municipalities and the most urbanized as well. Although it has a significant industry of its own, including shipping, chemical production, and film production, North Vancouver’s industrial sector regularly requires Pile Driving H Beams Vancouver for heavy-duty deep foundation work.

The City of North Vancouver is relatively densely populated with a number of residential high-rise buildings in the Central Lonsdale and Lower Lonsdale areas.

The city has much in common with the District Municipality of North Vancouver and West Vancouver. Together these three municipalities are commonly referred to as the North Shore. The differences between the two “North Vans” are most apparent to their residents. Other Lower Mainland residents are seldom aware of the difference between the two and refer to both as “North Vancouver”.
