Vancouver has a strong health and wellness culture and is home to active lifestyle brands such as lululemon, Arc’teryx, and Herschel Supply Company. Vancouver also has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in North America.
While Vancouver is the most densely populated city in Canada, it is far from the most polluted. Vancouver residents are exposed to an estimated 6.4 micrograms of pollutant per cubic meter of air, among the least of any Canadian city. Vancouver also has some 99 square meters of green space per resident, or about 10 times the WHO recommendation of 9.5 square meters per capita.
