Filming Locations

With spectacular water and mountain views, city skylines and industrial landscapes, the City of North Vancouver offers an unparalleled beauty and diversity of filming locations. The combination of new urban buildings, heritage homes, and turn-of-the-century commercial spaces bring together the past, present and future in a single landscape. Many well-kept residential areas, parks and greenways create additional possibilities. Located a short 20-minute drive from downtown Vancouver, the City offers state-of-the-art filming studios and facilities for your production.

The Shipyards is a popular commercial and community space (with film-friendly cafes, shops and restaurants) has welcomed everything from large feature films to small photo shoots.
