This video takes a look a gay pride in
Vancouver: Pride Events, cruises, contents,
and much, much more.
One of the coolest and most progressive gay &
lesbian Cities in Canada. Vancouver is home
to a thriving gay & lesbian community.
Davie Village (also Davie District or Davie
Street) is a gay village or "gaybourhood" in
West End of Vancouver, British Columbia. It
is home of the city's gay subculture and is
centred around Davie Street and roughly
includes that are between Burrarnd and
Jervis.
Along Davie Street are a variety of shops,
restaurants, services, and hotels catering to
a variety of customers, as well as private
residences. Davie Village is also home to the
offices of Xtra! West, a biweekly LGBT
newspaper. The Centre (formerly the Gay &
Lesbian Centre) is located off Davie Street
on Bute.
Commercial Drive is a roadway in the city of
Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada that
goes through the neighbourhood of
Grandview-Woodland. However, the
neighbourhood is so dominated by the
businesses, cultural facilities, and
residents along Commercial Drive that the
area is far better known as "The Drive" than
by the civic boundaries. The district is one
of Vancouver's Business Improvement Areas
(BIA).
The district is served by many different bus
routes, as well as both the Skytrain's Expo
Line and Millennium Line, at the Broadway
Station and Commercial Drive Stations,
respectively.
Commercial Drive is a mixed
residential-commercial area with a high
proportion of ethnic and vegetarian
restaurants, businesses, and public housing.
The area has low property prices compared to
the westside of Vancouver, yet has good city
services and is a local transit hub. It has
been the destination for generations of
immigrants to Vancouver and has significant
Asian, European, Latin-American, East Indian,
and African communities. As of the Canada
2001 census, English is a minority language
in Grandview Woodlands, though still the most
common.
It is home to an active street festival
culture; notable annual events include the
Vancouver Dyke March in August and the Parade
of the Lost Souls in October. It also plays
host to Vancouver's only queer spoken word
and musician performance night, Unsweetened
(and Outspoken). The Drive is a popular place
for Vancouverites who want to experience a
safe version of North American
counter-culture.
