This just came across my feeds on Bloglines today and I thought I would pass it along.  It is a wealth of information on the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.

Metro Vancouver’s Vital Signs is a multi-faceted snapshot of our region’s wellness and livability. It tells a story of what it’s like to live in Metro Vancouver, bringing together factual information, perceptions, and ideas for addressing key issues that affect our region’s wellness and our quality of life.
Vital Signs is produced by Vancouver Foundation, a philanthropic leader in Vancouver and BC since 1943.
