VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Some cities have cool slogans — like “New York: The city that never sleeps” or “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.”
Then there are others like the one for Eagle Pass,Texas: “Where Yee-Hah! meets Ole!”
What about the City of Vancouver? “By Sea, Land & Air, We Prosper” is what’s written under the coat of arms; as sexy as that is, officially, it is not the city slogan. So, News1130 has been taking your suggestions.
Some borrow from our rep as Lotusland, suggesting “Grow it, smoke it, live it… the world’s greenest city!”
Others think any slogan should play on our laid-back nature. “It’s a pretty chill place, I like it. It’s pretty similar to home actually,” says one transplant. He’s from Brisbane, Australia. “‘The River City.’ Yeah, we’ve got a river… [and we’ve] got a city.”
One frustrated driver suggests, “Vancouver: Pedalling into a carless future.”
When it comes to unofficial nicknames, Vancouver has plenty: Vancity, The Terminal City, Hollywood North, Raincity, Vansterdam and the Left Coast.
