Granville Island is one of the most successful urban renewal projects in North America and is actually a peninsula.
The island began as an industrial land and over time its warehouses and shops became deserted and left to fray when the industry disappeared.
Today, the island has many uses, and there is a public market selling fresh fish open daily
There is a lively entertainment center that offers everything from comedy to modern theater with many musicians roaming to entertain shoppers around boutiques.
