Vancouver Trip overview

Matt found a grant by the Canadian government to encourage interaction between Canada and other countries. He applied for it and received funding to support a comparative tour of two different border regions at the US-Canada border. We just completed the first trip, traveling up to Vancouver and its surrounding region.

Here was our itinerary:

1. Meet with Hugh Conroy & Melissa Miller at Whatcom Council of Governments to learn about Whatcom COG and the International Mobility and Trade Corridor Project.
2. Cross the Border at PacHighway
3. Tour the Pacific Highway Border Crossing with the Canadian Border Services Agency
4. Meet with Mirjana Petrovic at the City of Surrey
5. Ride the SkyTrain
6. Meet with Keenan Kitasaka at TransLink
7. Cross the Border at Peace Arch

Amidst these meetings, we ate delicious food, saw beautiful mountains, and enjoyed amazing weather. We will post details about our various activities over the next week or so. Stay tuned!
