Why Vancouver is a Great Place to Study Photography
Vancouver is a cultural heart of Canada, second to none except perhaps Toronto, and it is one hot city with a quick pulse that is one step ahead of other multimedia markets.

That means a whole universe of photography and multimedia employers, cultural centers, and schools all in one city.
