Fairmont Waterfront

Enjoy laid back, west coast luxury at The Fairmont Waterfront in Vancouver. Sweeping views over the harbor and north shore mountains, contemporary décor, and state-of-the-art meeting facilities are just steps to the seawall and boutiques of historic Gastown. Savor the local flavor in Herons West Coast Kitchen + Bar, and take time to smell the flowers with a visit to the hotel’s rooftop garden and honeybee apiary where fresh herbs and honey are sourced from.

Helijet

Helijet has been a proud and active participant in British Columbia's growth for the past two and a half decades. In 1986, with a carefully conceived vision, a single helicopter, and a handful of enthusiastic employees, Helijet launched Canada's first scheduled helicopter service. From that single helicopter, flying eight times a day between downtown Vancouver and downtown Victoria, Helijet has grown into a dynamic publicly-traded company with operations in Richmond, Vancouver, Victoria, Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii. Helijet's fleet of 13 medium and large helicopters, as well as two medically-equipped Learjets, is maintained, flown and administered by a dedicated crew of over 100 employees. Helijet is proud of its growth and accomplishments, and looks forward to many more decades of service.
