the West Coast’s best art galleries, some of Vancouver’s finest antiques and jewelry stores and a
collection of the most exclusive furniture and lifestyle stores in the Lower Mainland.

of the most interesting things you can do... is stroll down what they call gallery row on South Granville in Vancouver." -- The Vancouver Sun

FlagWalk is the creation of a unique walking
route connecting Yaletown and South Granville, two of Vancouver's
truly unique neighbourhoods. The FlagWalk pathway spans a
total distance of 3.74 kms and features the flags of countries
which plan to participate in the 2010 Winter Games. FlagWalk
will become an official wayfinding pedestrian route between
these two areas and downtown Olympic venues during the Olympic
games in February 2010.
FlagWalk is fully funded by the Yaletown and South Granville Business Improvement Associations with generous support from Victorinox Swiss Army, The Vancouver Sun, Flight Centre, and 3M. For more information, see www.flagwalk.ca
Why we did it...
"it came down to this... forget the hype, forget the rings forget the commercial aspects of the Olympics. We were
going to follow our instincts and do what was important to each of us personally — which was to celebrate national pride, friendship,
world peace, inclusiveness, equality, and have fun while we were at it. The IOC did not have a trademark on national pride or
friendship. A phrase was at the top of one of our planning pages “a world of friends is a world of peace”. FlagWalk was born and the tagline is still with us." -- Sharon Townsend, Executive Director, South Granville BIA
