🚰 Drinking Water
Vancouver tap water is excellent quality. Bring a refillable bottle — public water fountains across the city. Save money, reduce plastic.
🌧 Weather
June-July in Vancouver averages 18–22°C. Mostly dry but bring a light rain jacket — Vancouver can surprise. BC Place is domed, so the match itself is weather-proof.
🏥 Health
Travel insurance strongly recommended — Canadian healthcare is not free for visitors. Emergency: dial 911. Walk-in clinics across downtown Vancouver.
