The Tourism Challenge returns! This fun program is a seasonal opportunity for staff and volunteers actively working in the tourism industry to explore local attractions and discover the unique neighbourhoods that make Vancouver the amazing place it is. This year, the Tourism Challenge will run from April 22 – May 31, 2023.
The West End is home to a brilliant selection of murals and outdoor artwork created by talented local artists. This year, we invite Tourism Challenge participants to explore the West End’s growing outdoor art gallery.

- How many palm trees are there on the Divine Love mural by Ceeboots behind Numbers Cabaret?
- At Robson Street and Jervis Street you will find a whimsical sculpture by Brooklyn-based artist John Clement. What is the sculpture’s name?
