10/10. Who knew that these would be easy when you’ve been to the city a couple dozen times. Nice one. Hopefully it gets featured.

Thank you Dimby! It was fun trying to balance it between both a Canadian and an international audience.

10/10 again. Some questions felt new. I don’t remember the one with homelessness and high housing prices. 🤔

Some of them were modified when the quiz was featured (likely to balance the quiz).

I got 10 out of 10... 6 were from being a geography nerd in general, 2 were logical process of elimination educated guesses, and 2 I knew specifically because I spent 4 days in Vancouver 3 years ago. So, you know, there's definitely some value to travel!

Losing the Stanley Cup finals must be the most Canadian reason to riot.

I feel like heavy winter snow is a bit subjective, I appreciate it is mild compared to the rest of Canada but just shy of 40cm snow per year is a lot for most places.

It's not known for heavy winter snows, however. Especially not within Canada. Even my hometown of Lethbridge gets over 100 cm of snow per year, despite being a semi-arid steppe with relatively mild winters for the prairies. Perhaps another option would be to change it to freezing cold winters?

"Known for" is not the same as "having." Nashville has rain. Chicago has rain. New York has rain. But Seattle is "known for" having rain.

Would suggest changing "Native Americans" in that one question to "First Nations".

Or possibly just "Indigenous group"

(For those who don't know, "Native" is generally considered an offensive term in Canada)

It was originally Indigenous group, I am changing it back as I believe it is a term that is understandable to a global audience. 'Native' is not necessarily offensive here, it really depends, but it's just not a term we use here.

The way the question is worded kind of makes it sound like they don't exist any more. It might be worth changing it to something like "have lived in the Vancouver area since before European settlement" so it's clear that they're very much still around.

I changed it back, I believe the wording was changed to prevent confusion but Coast Salish culture is indeed very much alive today (not to mention Vancouver is on unceded Coast Salish territory).

Interesting trivia; the etymology of Vancouver is a Dutch city called Coevorden, (via a family name "van Coevorden" meaning of/from Coevorden)

Was waiting to see if it might come up as a question but it didn't. I only found out 1 or 2 years ago, I never knew but found it interesting :) (well I like etymology and am from the Netherlands, other people might find it less interesting. But I always love finding out where names come from, especially when it is unexpected).

That would have been a good question, I didn't think of that! It's a neat piece of trivia since I feel like you wouldn't expect Vancouver to come from Dutch, but then after you learn that, it makes sense with the "van" prefix.
