Orthophoto imagery 2006

The City's orthophoto coverage includes the City, UBC, and the University Endowment Lands and parts of Richmond, the Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and the North Shore. As such, it exceeds the area defined by the City's facet grid (see Facet grid boundaries dataset).

The 2006 orthophotos are very high quality 10 cm pixel resolution.
