In 1919 , " Winter in Vancouver " meant travel to a land of moderate weather.

The city and the Canadian Pacific Railway tried to capitalize on it with a big push for winter tourism.

Vancouver businesses chipped in by “advertising through the press of the prairie country,” railways offered “special excursion rates”.

The Rosslyn is now lofts and low-income housing, while rooms at the Beverly Hills are about $1,200 US per night and up. [email protected].
