FanVancouver is an independent Vancouver travel guide: practical neighbourhood, transit, food, and outdoor planning — plus a complete FIFA World Cup 2026 Vancouver archive after BC Place’s seven matches.

Boilerplate

FanVancouver.com helps visitors plan Vancouver with local logistics first: SkyTrain and SeaBus reality, seawall pacing, food neighbourhoods, day trips, and seasonal events. We are not affiliated with FIFA, BC Place, or the City of Vancouver. Facts prefer official sources; estimates are labeled.

Press: how to work with FanVancouver

FanVancouver is an independent guide to visitor logistics in Metro Vancouver and nearby BC — transit paths, neighbourhood pacing, day-trip decisions and summer planning. It is written and maintained by one Vancouver resident, funded by affiliate links and a paid PDF guide, with no tourism board, ticket agency or hotel group behind it.

What we can provide quickly

On-the-ground notes for SkyTrain / SeaBus visitor patterns and seawall timing.
Day-trip comparisons (half-day North Shore vs full Whistler vs Island ferry days).
Fact checks against official sources we already cite (TransLink, Port of Vancouver, venue pages).
Archive context for FIFA World Cup 2026 Vancouver visitor logistics after the tournament window.

Lead times

Simple citation / boilerplate: same or next business day when possible.
Custom briefing notes: 3–5 business days.
Interview requests: propose two time windows Pacific Time; remote first.

Asset and contact rules

Use this press kit for boilerplate and suggested angles.
Send all requests via /contact/ with “Press” in the subject line so it does not get lost.
Please credit FanVancouver and link the relevant guide when quoting logistics figures; label any numbers as estimates if we did.

Partnership product placement is separate from editorial — disclose compensated relationships. See editorial policy and about.

Citation preferences

When quoting FanVancouver logistics figures, note the date you accessed the page and whether the figure was labelled as a planning band. Prefer linking the specific guide (transit, tipping, day trip) over the homepage.

We can usually confirm whether a sentence is still current within a business day.
Do not attribute ticket prices to us as live quotes — send readers to operators.
Photo use: ask first; most on-site images are rights-managed or stock-licensed for our properties only.

What desks actually cite

The live BC wildfire map is the product other sites can embed. Counts come from BC Wildfire Service open data, refreshed about every 30 minutes. We are not EmergencyInfoBC — we are the visitor layer (smoke, roads, can I still drive to Kelowna).
